"Lisa took care of our daughter from she was 4 months old to when our daughter was old enough to go to school (about 2 years old). Lisa was wonderful: very attentive to both the child and parents, and extremely straightforward and reliable. More than her skills working with children (which are very good), Lisa is a positive and honest person with integrity. We were very happy to have her help raise our daughter." Y.P. & S.M. Family, Ithaca, N.Y.
"I can’t recommend Lisa enough. She was an integral part of our son’s life beginning when my wife went back to work, until we enrolled him in daycare at 18 months. Lisa is kind, patient, knowledgeable about childhood development, adaptive and reliable. She brought lots of expertise to tackling often challenging milestones including sleep, illness, hitting, complex emotions, etc. She was always on time, flexible, and good at communicating. We were comforted by the thought that Lisa’s kindness and patience would rub off on our son, against the backdrop of two working parents that don’t always exhibit such patience. She prepared nutritious food for our son and has almost certain become our dog’s favorite person. I am quite convinced that even if Lisa did not depend on childcare as a means of income she would continue to do it because she loves it so much." M.A. & M.H. Family, Ithaca, N.Y.
"Lisa was a lifesaver for our family, and a wonderful caretaker for our son. Her love for kids is obvious, and she quickly forged a beautiful connection with our boy. They read books; they took walks; and the parents got regular notes, photos, and updates. Naps happened more punctually when Lisa was there than when I was home. To top it off, for days after each visit, G would ask "Lisa coming?" when he heard footsteps on the porch. He looked forward to her visits, and missed her afterwards. Absolutely recommended. 10/10." R.L. & M.V. Family, Ithaca, N.Y.
"Dear Lisa, Thank you so very much for your help these past few weeks. It really meant a lot to us to have the peace of mind that our son was in such kind and gentle hands as we navigate this tricky transition. You have been so reliable and supportive. And we look forward to seeing you still (as I'm sure will will still be in need of your help). Warm Wishes." Y.H. & G.M. Family, Ithaca, N.Y.
"Our daughter's sleep has changed so much over the past seven months and Lisa has non-stop partnered with us, and supported us to find a way to transition to daycare. She has a way that she leans in gently and steps away...her footprints are genuine, guided by experience and a lot of knowledge, frankly. We are grateful for Lisa." R.D. Family, Lansing, N.Y.
"Lisa has helped my husband and me notice our baby's daytime sleep cues and make a cozy nap environment for her before she's overtired...which leads her to waking less at night." T.R. Family, Ithaca, N.Y.
"My child's latching was very shallow and I was afraid she wasn't getting enough to eat. I was beside myself. I texted Lisa and with her encouraging words, I got through the moment. I'd never met her in person." J.J. Family, Ithaca, N.Y.
"I'd just like to give a huge shout out to Lisa Bertuzzi who has been the best Nanny for my daughter that I ever could have hoped for. With what seemed like endless patience, kindness, and grace, she has exceeded our hopes and expectations in countless ways. You have been a tremendous blessing to my daughter and me. For anyone who knows of a family in need of an exceptional Nanny, Lisa is a registered nurse which is great for sick days and injuries. I would give her the highest recommendation possible. Thanks for everything I know my daughter will miss you as she starts pre-school. Please come visit!" B.B. & L.E. Family, Ithaca, N.Y.
"We absolutely loved having Lisa as our son's part-time nanny! She was always on time, incredibly attentive to all of his needs, and provided a loving environment for him to thrive in. She gave us peace of mind whenever he was in her care. We highly recommend Lisa!" C.J. Family, Ithaca, N.Y.
"Lisa is just amazing! Lisa has cared for our 15-19 mo daughter and they have such a sweet bond. Always on time, reliable and responsible. Lisa knows and cares a lot about children, but is always open and accepting of parents choices and children's proclivities." C.F. Family, Ithaca, N.Y.
"We felt very lucky to find Lisa! She has been very warm and reliable caring for our 3-yr-old. She takes our preferences very seriously and goes out of her way to make sure we are all on the same page. She has a very loving, playful way with our daughter." A.C. Family, Ithaca, N.Y.
"Lisa babysat for our daughter twice for full workdays, on relatively short notice. Both times were great. Our three-year-old daughter took to her immediately and was ready to comfortably say "Bye, dad" within minutes of meeting Lisa. They colored, drew on sidewalks with chalk, listened to music, went out for bagels, and did lots of other fun three-year-old things. Lisa was friendly, caring, and completely reliable. My working visit to Ithaca would have been impossible without her help. I would turn to her for babysitting help again in an instant." J.G. Family, New York, N.Y.
