Excerpts from Letters of Reference

...because of Zijlia's commitment and love for what she does, I have no doubt in my mind that my daughter is receiving the highest level of care and instruction one can receive over the first year of life.
...another quality that I appreciate is that Zijlia has never stressed a right or wrong way of doing things, but rather has taken the approach that every child has special needs and the development of behavior and emotions is a learning process.
...if my daughter could talk she would tell you that Zijlia is her best friend.
...God has placed special people on this Earth to care for others. I am fortunate to see God's work everyday through Zijlia in the way she cares for my daughter……

...Zijlia cared for our two sons, whom range in age from toddler to one in Elementary School.
...She was wonderful with both my children. She is extremely knowledgeable about children and has a wonderful rapport with them. Zijlia is so experienced and such a calm influence.
...She is a consummate professional – punctual and hard working.
...Through the years we had challenges, my children tend to push every boundary and challenge the rules, but she always implemented strategies that worked.
She was also very active in both children's emotional and academic development.
She is absolutely trust worthy, intelligent, experienced and a warm and caring person...

...I have known Zijlia for 9 years and am deeply impressed with her ability to cope with difficult situations in the most quiet and gentle way. She has wisdom and understanding of her responsibilities and can be completely depended upon to carry them out with the utmost attention to every detail.
Zijlia is a very happy, easy to get along with, person and enjoys a lovely relationship with her husband and family. She is trained to care for people and seek knowledge of things she may not understand. She is a self starter and a great encourager...
