"Geethika has been an excellent caregiver for both my children for so many years. My kids are 11 and 5 now and she was the first caregiver both my kids stayed with and they still love her dearly. Geethika is a kind, responsible and sweet soul who loves children and they love her back in return. She is punctual, creative, responsible and takes her job seriously. I highly recommend her for anyone!"

"I highly recommend the child care services provided by Geethika of Little Tots Family Child Care. She took care of my child starting when he was just 3 months old while I was working. During the day, she sent us pictures of my child, which gave us a lot of reassurance. She is truly dedicated and caring."
