Lily was fantastic with my toddler (1.5 years old)! She was polite, patient, responsible and always on time. She would take the baby to the nearby park, play with her, read to her, and feed her. I would hire her again any time. Thanks, Lily!

Kayla has helped me with my now 3-year-old and 1-year-old in NYC and NJ since my oldest was a baby.
What I really enjoyed about Kayla was her following my parenting style. I never saw her disrespect that. And I never saw her use her personal phone, either.
