  • Esther Family

    To Whom It May Concern,


    Having Isha as Sienna's nanny has been one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. Sienna has strong separation anxiety, and yet with Isha’s remarkable patience, warmth, and consistent presence, she formed a secure bond and now looks forward to their time together.


    Isha goes above and beyond by incorporating sensory activities, emotional coaching, and early literacy play into Sienna’s daily rhythm. She is calm, professional, and deeply tuned into children’s emotions and needs. Her positive influence has been undeniable — Sienna has grown more confident, expressive, and regulated since Isha came into our lives.


    Sincerely,  

    Esther (Sienna’s Mom)


  • Sam Family

    To Whom It May Concern,

    Isha has worked closely with my daughter Haley and has had a remarkable impact on her

    development and confidence. Haley can be reserved and cautious, but Isha’s gentle guidance

    and kind nature helped her open up in ways I hadn’t seen before.

    She brings creativity and structure to every session, tailoring her teaching to suit Haley’s

    learning style. Her commitment to fostering a love for learning — especially in early reading and

    maths — is incredible. Isha is thoughtful, dependable, and always shows up with a plan, a

    smile, and an abundance of care.

    Kind regards,

    Sam (Haley’s Mom)

  • Maddie Family

    To Whom It May Concern,

    Isha has been a wonderful part of our family’s life while caring for Ellodie. Her ability to tune into

    Ellodie’s changing developmental stages and respond with patience, creativity, and love is

    nothing short of amazing.

    She fills the day with meaningful play, educational prompts, nature exploration, and sweet

    moments of care. Isha is deeply reliable, incredibly nurturing, and highly professional — a rare

    combination. I’ve seen Ellodie thrive under her attention, and I feel complete peace of mind

    knowing she is in such capable and loving hands.

    Warmly,

    Maddie (Ellodie’s Mom)

  • Crystal Family

    To Whom It May Concern,

    Isha has been an absolute gem in our lives. As Poppy’s nanny, she’s brought a sense of

    warmth, structure, and magic into our everyday routine. Poppy is a spirited, curious little girl, and

    Isha always finds ways to channel that energy into thoughtful, hands-on learning.

    Whether it’s nature walks, art projects, or imaginative storytelling, Isha engages Poppy in ways

    that are both fun and educational. She is deeply patient, emotionally intuitive, and incredibly

    dependable — qualities that every parent dreams of in a caregiver. I trust her wholeheartedly

    and feel so grateful to have her care for my child.

    Warmly,

    Crystal (Poppy’s Mom)

  • Precious Family

    To Whom It May Concern,

    Isha has had an extraordinary impact on my son Parker’s development. Parker can be cautious

    and sensitive, but Isha met him with the gentleness and patience he needed to feel safe and

    empowered. Her calm energy, clear boundaries, and playful spirit helped him come out of his

    shell.

    She’s incredibly attentive to his emotional cues and always knows when to gently challenge him

    or when to offer reassurance. Isha blends learning and play seamlessly, and I’ve watched

    Parker blossom with her by his side. Her professionalism, creativity, and consistency make her

    truly one of a kind.

    With gratitude,

    Precious (Parker’s Mom)
