I have known Suzette Trimmer & her company Your Other Hands for a number of years. She is a tremendous asset to the Greater Philadelphia area, a true professional who is driven by passion and dedication. She continues to operate her business and service as a traditionalist and caters to the individual needs of each and every client. I have the utmost confidence in Suzette and her organizations ability to preciously care for and develop the greatest treasure on earth “Our Children “.

When many other child care companies have taken a systematic cookie cutter approach to their service, Suzette and Your Other Hands remained steadfast to their principles and philosophies of looking at each client and child for their individual needs. If you , your family and loved ones want to be treated and understood for the unique individuals that you are, then Your Other Hands is the child care service for you. I highly recommend Suzette Trimmer and Your Other Hands for your child care needs.

Your Other Hands is the epitome of everything I desire when it comes to childcare. Everyone that I have been in contact with from this business is very professional, upstanding, courteous, yet down to earth, and willing to go the extra mile to meet the needs of every family that they service. I am proud to be affiliated with Your Other Hands Nanny Service!

I recently had an excellent experience with this service. I was faced with needing a sitter while staying in a large Philly hotel this summer, my girls were well cared for, were able to get to the pool, went out to grab a bite to eat and were showered and ready for bed when I returned. Jordana was professional AND fun, what's better than that? Use them, you won't regret it.

Those who stumble upon this merger review please know it is the whole truth. I have absolutely no vested interest in this organization. I do however have a very formulated opinion. And that opinion is, WHOA! Terrific, astute, professional yet personable, and may I add extremely Knowledgeable about what they do. They Care they really do care about you as a mother and they care after their staff as if they were all family member's. They require more of their nannies then most day care centers, in terms of they leave not a grand of sand left unturned. Their staff of only American nannies does my heart good as well for they are an AMERICAN MADE company that generates and employes those from our region. I know of no other business or service like this that handles the needs of my wants. I initially used them from emergency back-up only. But when my own nanny had to leave to care for her mother I was left high and dry at moments notice. They sent me an emergency same day nanny that morning. Within three days they arranged four interviews, all great candidates, however; I wound up keeping the nanny they sent for the day for my permanent choice happy mom happy family ever since.Thought good idea to share with others.

When the cost of day care makes you wonder at the end of each month" Is it really worth me spending so much going to work, when what is left over, isn't much?" This is a real critical question many of us moms today are asking ourselves. But if you find what I have you'll be able to decide what is truly best for you and your family. We have been using a small privately owned local nanny agency, our own Pediatrician highly recommend . The name is YOUR OTHER HANDS. Wow did we luck out, I mean really LUCK out. For we are now saving literally thousands a month, by having one of their nannies show up at my door when she is asked to.When she leaves the hrs worked are documented on a time sheet," brilliant". We only pay Now for what we actually use as opposed to what we were paying ahead of time with the various local day cares. And we still get the same tax deductions. I do forewarn parents that they are hard to find. But so worth it when you do. Moms, Dads, parents need to know about them.

I Am in Philly on business many times throughout the year and when my wife and two boys come with me I always call Suzette at Your Other Hands to watch my boys at least once during the visit so my wife and myself can go out for a night on the town. My boys can get to be a handful at times, I have never had anything but a wonderful experience with Your Other Hands. I was there just last week and it was so nice to go out and not even have to think there would be a problem while having dinner and then sightseeing. Thank you for making our stay in Philly great every time....I guess if I had to sum it up with only a few words, I would say...Your Other Hands is a "Given" if you do not want to worry about anything.

Found out about this FANTASTIC company via our Pediatrician. Who could not recommend the company any more highly if she were trying and she wasn't just telling us the pro's and con's of what is out there. She said they use the service themselves, as it was, and' remains the highest quality child care providers' for over 25 years. They do NOT advertise which is why we could not find them. As to save their families all or any extra costs. Works for me.And once we signed up we had so many great interviews we could not chose too hard. But with the owner's help,Suzette Trimmer, a mother herself who"knows" her staff , helped us make the best decision for us.we are so happy with our nanny she is just as our Doctor had said perfect in every way. And affordable as well. They never close and are available 24/7 very reassuring in and of itself. So as our Doctor recommended them I also want to express my to cents and say if your a parent & not with them your missing out!!!

While recently in Philadelphia...

While recently in Philadelphia we used Your Other Hands to care for our 3 young girls. My husband and I were very pleased with their service. Our mind was put to rest as soon as we met our caregiver. She even went the extra mile and brought along games which kept the girls entertained the entire night. Thanks again. We're very happy to have found your organization and will sure to call them again next time we are in the area.

Recently was referred to Yoh from a center city hotel I was planning / hosting an event. There were more than 30 children of all ages that would be needing childcare. I was at my wits end but once I spoke to the contact person I felt more than confident I had called the right service. They put me at ease immediately. The staff that arrived were punctual, courteous & professional. They had a knack for making each child feel special. My expectations were totally exceeded. The children all had a great time and the parents couldn't be more grateful. I am looking forward to working with them again in the near future.

My friends and I recently stay...

My friends and I recently stayed at a highly rated Hotel in City Center Philadelphia. We were advised by our Hotel that Your Other Hands was a reputable company in business for almost 25 years. The sitter that was sent to watch our two small children seemed strange but I thought maybe I was over reacting. I spent an hour sitting and making small talk with this woman as my daughter was asleep for the night and my friend was putting her son to bed before we left to have dinner at a nearby restaurant. The other Mother and I asked questions and we received what seemed to be "reasonable" explanations for the odd behavior. She also claimed 19 years with her company and said she had a child of her own. We only left for 2 hours while both kids were sleeping. All we needed was a responsible adult in case of an emergency or if a child woke up. We returned to the Hotel to find the sitter had been "removed" from her post by concerned Hotel management while we were at Dinner. It seems after we left her "odd" behavior caused a Hotel employee alarm when they delivered ice to the room. It was VERY startling to return to hotel staff waiting in our hotel suite. Although we are happy with the staff's swift action, we are sorry it had to happen. It's hard to leave your babies with a stranger and this was a our first time... Scary

Fantastic Child Care Service Provided by Caring, Professional Nannies. I recommend this company as The Best in Philadelphia. Your Other Hands nanny Madeline Switenko watched my kids while I was visiting Philadelphia. She arrived early, played games with my kids and I felt that my kids were very safe with her. I am so glad I found out about them and wish they had a branch in California.
