Friendly, professional, thorough, and informative. MBF placed me with an amazing family over 2 years ago and I could not ask for a more perfect match. They have become extended family. MBF also sends frequent tips, advice, and general "Nanny" info that I have implemented in many ways. Any questions I've had are always promptly answered. I speak for myself as well as the family I Nanny for when I say, Mom's Best Friend is the way to go!
