  • Mary Biggs, Director at Basic Trust, "Natara is an absolute gem. She is smart, hard-working, reliable, and conscientious. I initially hired Natara to help me in the office and anything I gave her to do she did beautifully. She would often collaborate with me and do something beyond my expectations. She is a warm, kind-hearted, deeply honest person. we were so sad to lose her. She will be an enormous asset anywhere she works."
  • Brittany Blumenthal, mother of a former student, "I don’t have enough positive things to say about Natara. She was my son’s teacher at Basic Trust for one year and I never saw anything but positive energy coming from her. She radiates a love and passion for the work she does and I know she will bring that same dedication to any job she has in the future. She is reliable, patient, and an overall joy to be around. We were devastated to have to say goodbye to her when we left the school!”
  • Joy Harden, a teacher at Basic Trust daycare," Natara is not at all intimidated by hard work. She takes it all on thoughtfully and completely. She is a true blue, genuine, consistent, responsible, and reliable partner and team player. She wants the best for everyone and works tirelessly, doggedly every day to that end. How she manages to have so much fun with and with such an unwavering disposition of positivity and sunshine, honestly, is as baffling as it is awe-inspiring. In the year I've taught toddlers at Basic Trust daycare with Natara, I've experienced in wonderment the dream caregiver she is by the parent's standards who entrust their children's well-being unequivocally in Natara's care. Natara holds every child's trust, comfort, and adoration and every coworker's respect and high regard. Basic Trust was sure sorry to see Natara go. I have utter confidence in what an outstanding and profound imprint she will make in all whose great fortune it will be to work with her."
