"We met Tonya Dodson four years ago when she became the Nanny for a dear friend’s first child. Right away we were impressed with her competence and her fine character. As the family grew,, she handled the increased responsibility with ease. What amazed us most was how well behaved the children were, and how happy—simply a delight to be around, which in our experience is unusual with two and three year olds. We asked Tonya’s advice with respect to our own two grandsons, and when we implemented her suggestions, visits from the boys became truly a joy. Our middle daughter gave birth to her first child about a year after we met Tonya, and all of us would agree that the best gift we have given our daughter and son-in-law was a week of tutoring from Tonya. We plan to continue to employ Tonya every few months, because she has so successfully taught our daughter and son-in-law the parenting skills they have needed as our granddaughter has advanced to each new stage. Tonya stays current on new developments in child care, implements them successfully in her Nanny job, and best of all, has the ability to teach other parents the skills and habits that result in happy well adjusted children. She is a fine person who has become a very good friend, and one whose advice we always benefit from."
