Testimonials
Amy H.
I highly recommend Desi. I trust her and her loving dedication to my child. She has made a huge impact and is truly a hard-working, trusted gem! She is mature and has a keen sense of her surroundings. I feel that this is hard to find these days. She is extraordinarily unique and pays attention to all details by giving 110%!
Francesca A.
Desi is gifted beyond words. She is such a rare and special soul, and we feel so blessed and lucky to know her. We are incredibly grateful for all she and Nique have done to help our family this last year as family assistants. They are such wonderful, kind, smart and talented humans, and we absolutely adore them. We so appreciate all of their help with day-to-day tasks, and consider them both part of our family. Desi is such an angel and has an undeniable talent for putting together the most beautiful and exquisite floral arrangements, picking out and wrapping gifts, organizing, and putting together the most memorable celebrations. Our family feels that Desi being in our lives was somehow meant to be.
