I have used this provider for more than 6 months
I had great experience with this provider. Jennel is professional, caring and loving person. My 2 children were with Jennel since they are babies, they love her and the daycare. I don't have family who can help me in case of emergency with kids, I always count on Jennel, since she is very responsible and reliable person.I am very happy i found her daycare many years ago. Thank you.
