"I really liked how NH comes to the house for the initial interview. I really appreciated the follow up meeting face-to-face too. It’s so nice that you do custom feedback forms and timesheets. I think NH being involved with feedback forms for four months is excellent. Rebecca is great! My kids loved her and wanted her to be our nanny!"
