“Look, let’s face it – Hogwarts wasn’t an option, so what’s a parent to do? 你要做的是,打电话给杰米·巴卡尔. 杰米花了一些时间去了解十大菠菜靠谱平台的女儿,并很敏感地倾听十大菠菜靠谱平台对她(以及十大菠菜靠谱平台自己)的期望, 然后提供给十大菠菜靠谱平台一份全面的学校名单,以及所有的电话号码, addresses, contact info, tour dates, 所有的数据点都需要十大菠菜靠谱平台花费几个月的时间和大量的牙齿来收集和协调. We started by seeing schools across a broad spectrum of philosophies, 从自由自在的林地树屋到彬彬有礼、穿着围裙的扣着扣子的堡垒, 杰米让十大菠菜靠谱平台带着一百亿个问题去找她,并对每一个问题都进行了深思熟虑和睿智的回答. 当十大菠菜靠谱平台做出最优选择的时候, 十大菠菜靠谱平台很高兴Jamie在那里帮助十大菠菜靠谱平台破解这些细节,比如如何回答各种申请中的主要问题(简要提示),以及当招生主任问你的孩子“这张照片缺少了什么”时,如何保持沉默?(提示:她在问你的孩子, 不是你——但她很想知道当你的孩子不确定照片中缺少什么时你会有什么反应). 十大菠菜靠谱平台的女儿要上十大菠菜靠谱平台的第一志愿学校了,十大菠菜靠谱平台非常激动, Echo Horizon, 感谢杰米带领十大菠菜靠谱平台完成了申请和面试过程.”

“杰米在帮助十大菠菜靠谱平台了解洛杉矶的私立小学方面起了很大作用. I am from Los Angeles and thought I was familiar with the schools here. We met with Jamie and she walked us through the schools in our area, which have changed so much since I was a student here. 她把十大菠菜靠谱平台介绍给一所十大菠菜靠谱平台甚至都不知道的学校,这所学校后来成了十大菠菜靠谱平台的第一选择,也是我孩子上幼儿园的目的地. 我是一个忙碌的职业母亲,我非常感谢杰米为我减轻了工作过程中的压力. 她让我按计划行事,并确保我丈夫和我一路上都对十大菠菜靠谱平台的选择充满信心. 十大菠菜靠谱平台对它的进展感到非常高兴,现在十大菠菜靠谱平台很高兴能成为女儿新学校的一员.”

“Jamie has been an utterly invaluable resource for our family! We are relocating from New York to Los Angeles, 十大菠菜靠谱平台需要给两个孩子安排不同的年级,这在大多数学校都不是典型的入学年份. 我不知道如果没有杰米的洞察力和指导十大菠菜靠谱平台该如何度过这个过程. Jamie spent significant time talking with us, 会议上十大菠菜靠谱平台的孩子, 阅读十大菠菜靠谱平台孩子的学校记录,了解他们的个人,然后再建议他们应该去哪里申请. 为每个孩子寻找合适的学校是一项艰巨的十大菠菜靠谱老平台, 但杰米对十大菠菜靠谱平台的孩子以及洛杉矶私立学校的情况有深刻的了解,这让这项十大菠菜靠谱老平台变得容易. Then throughout this stressful year of application essays, testing, and interviews, 杰米表现得很理智, 一个愿意倾听者, 一个值得信赖的顾问. 在杰米的帮助下, we were fortunate to have great success in our school search, and each of our children had many choices of amazing schools. 明年,十大菠菜靠谱平台的儿子将在十字路口上学,十大菠菜靠谱平台的女儿将在奥克伍德上学. We could not be happier with the results. 十大菠菜靠谱平台非常感谢杰米帮助十大菠菜靠谱平台的家庭实现了这一切!”

洛杉矶私立学校的申请过程一开始令人生畏,因为要解读的信息太多了. Jamie calmly explained the system, and steered us through it. Best of all, she took the time to get to know our family, to help guide us to the best schools for us. Her input, discretion and cheerful personality turned, what could have been a stressful situation, 变成一个愉快的过程.”

“当十大菠菜靠谱平台为女儿申请幼儿园的时候,十大菠菜靠谱平台一无所知. Not completely–we had strong feelings about education, 还有十大菠菜靠谱平台的女儿——但十大菠菜靠谱平台对学校和学校之间的区别没有具体的了解, critically, which would best balance our child’s needs and our desires. Jamie saw us through the entire application process, 列出一份学校名单, to proper dress for and behavior in an interview, 忍受等待被接受, 做最后的选择. Jamie was clear, confident, patient, reliable, and insightful–the kind of person whose counsel I’d trust on *anything,*不仅仅是学校. Above all, she was a constant voice of reason and worth every dime. While we consider ourselves pretty capable people, I have to say we couldn’t have done it without her.”

“Thank God for Jamie and LA School Mates! 为十大菠菜靠谱平台的女儿找到一所合适的学校,这个艰巨的十大菠菜靠谱老平台让我和丈夫完全被吓倒了, and the actual application process terrified us. 更不用说作为一个对细节记忆力不太好的职业母亲, I was panicked that I’d miss some step along the way and ruin everything! But Jamie broke the entire process down for us, 这不仅帮助十大菠菜靠谱平台找到适合十大菠菜靠谱平台家庭和女儿的学校, but then guiding us through every step of the application process, 提醒十大菠菜靠谱平台巡演日期, 给十大菠菜靠谱平台的论文提供反馈, 为十大菠菜靠谱平台面试做准备. 在杰米的帮助下, the application process was actually fun. 这是艰难的最后决策阶段,因为多亏了杰米,十大菠菜靠谱平台有了选择!”

“As anyone who has gone through this process can tell you, it is daunting, stressful, humanizing, and agonizing. 它也可以是非常有益的…….if done properly. As a full time working parent, I was overwhelmed to say the least. LA School Mates的Jamie能够根据十大菠菜靠谱平台对Luke的目标和优先事项的讨论,帮助协调十大菠菜靠谱平台应该参观哪些学校. 一旦十大菠菜靠谱平台决定去哪里申请, Jamie guided us through the application process in a direct, 专业而精辟的方式. 由于Jamie的准备工作,十大菠菜靠谱平台的家长面试和孩子的评估变得更加轻松和自然. Perhaps the most wonderful aspect of Jamie was her ability to hand hold. She patiently listens to the second guessing and hypothetical, worst case scenarios and then reassures you that everything will be ok. 然后来信来了.......,一切都是. 我和大卫对卢克在奥克伍德幼儿园的前景感到兴奋. 言语不足以表达十大菠菜靠谱平台对Jamie在这一过程中的帮助和洞察力的感激之情. The wisdom of her experience has been invaluable.”
