Testimonials

We had been searching for a nanny for several months before we found Cuddlebuggs. We had paid a significant sum of money for another nanny service, joined an on-line nanny service, and posted an ad on craigslist and still had not been able to find anyone to care for our 1 year old son and neighbor's 1 year old daughter (nannyshare). As soon as I contacted Natalie, she forwarded me all of the pertinent information (including her very reasonable fees) and requested a meeting with both families so she could ensure that she only introduced us to nannies who would be a good fit for the babies and the families. In addition, within a few days, she introduced us to the first candidate--who we hired immediately. We have been extremely pleased with our nanny, she is very loving, dependable, creative, and firm with our children. She reads to our children, sings with them (in English and French), dances with them, initiates taking them on outings, and of course, prepares food, changes diapers, and cleans up after them. She managed to get both babies on the same schedule within a few weeks and to get my son to give up his pacifier except at nap time--a great feat! We truly view her and Cuddlebugs as a godsend. Natalie is extremely professional and responsive, and has contacted me several times to inquire how things are going. Given our experience, we would recommend Cuddlebuggs without reservation.

We first met Natalie in 2004 when our son, Nicholas, was placed in her classroom at the Clifton School (Clairmont Campus) in Atlanta, Georgia.   He was 4 ½ months old at the time and, as first time parents, we were nervous and apprehensive about leaving him in the care of someone else.   However, we were quickly reassured and very impressed with Natalie’s comfortable demeanor and superior skills as the lead teacher. 

  During our first meeting with Natalie, we felt very much at ease.   She was warm, friendly, and immediately asked to hold Nicholas.   From then on, he seemed very comfortable with her and vice versa.   We always felt that Natalie and Nicholas had a special bond and that he was her favorite child.   However, you will likely hear the same sentiment from other parents, because she cared equally well for all the children under her care.

Since 2004, when our first child entered Natalie Akpele’s care at the Clifton School, we have known Natalie to be a wonderful and skilled caretaker of children and we feel at ease when our kids are in her care.    We highly recommend Natalie, whether for babysitting, baby nursing, or other childcare services, as a trustworthy, experienced professional with an enjoyable and warm personality.
