"Kristi was the caregiver for our three children for many years when they were in elementary school. She was wonderful and became like an aunt to them. We continue to keep in touch with her often even to this day. We completely trusted her. Kristi is dependable,kind, and very creative with children. In addition to babysitting, she cooked their meals, picked them up from school or the bus stop, and did lots of arts and crafts projects with them. She also helped me with light housekeeping and the laundry. As a working mom the one thing I needed was a caregiver who I knew would take great care of my children so I didn't have to worry. Kristi always kept me posted on how the kids were doing and I never worried about them. Kristi is awesome and any family would be abundantly blessed to have her as their babysitter. We highly recommend her!...

Lou was incredible with our daughter. She came into our lives when our daughter was 3 months old and watched her several days each week and on the weekends when we were working. Lou was caring, detail-oriented, and even provided parenting advice when sought. Her experience with childcare was evidentfrom the moment we met her. To this day, Lou still fills in when we need a nanny in a pinch and our daughter (who is very choosey about her caregivers and slow to warm to new folks) is always so excited to see her. When Lou comes over our daughter starts to tell us "bye bye" before we're even fully ready to leave. We always know our daughter is in good hands when Lou is watching her. ...
