Corinne C.

Corrine was wonderful. I'm a first time mom, was nervous, bewildered, and completely overwhelmed. She came in when my baby was about 2 months old and was such a great help. She gave me advice, helped me learn how to get him to put him down for a nap, and took great care of him. I would often be resting or working from home so I know how she interacted with him much of the time she was here and she was always very attentive, playful, and knowledgeable. She takes initiative to do things like cut his nails, try new activities with him, and even tidies up the dishes (which is SO much appreciated). She reads him books, plays, gives him tummy time, feeds him well. She is so comfortable around babies you can tell she has a lot of experience and confidence in this field. If I left to go to dinner with my husband she'd text me the cutest little pictures of him if he was reading a book or sleeping all swaddled up and keep me updated about how they were doing at home which made me so much more comfortable being away from him. Even though I'm a physician and have worked with babies in the office for years, it is very different to have your own baby at home and be perplexed about what to do when he won't eat or sleep as you expected. Real life baby experience in addition to the book knowledge / theories is what Corrine brings. If you're like me, you've combed through Care.com wondering if you should really leave your baby with a stranger, and if so who. How do you decide amongst so many profiles. That's why I am leaving such a detailed review, to help other moms like me decide. I want to be assure you that I highly recommend Corrine. You'll be comfortable leaving your baby with her. I'm a real person with no personal connections to her, I found her on Care.com and she is great. I've met a few other sitters that I'm not so comfortable with. This one is trustworthy, sweet, and all around good with babies. My only regret, truly, is that I didn't find her earlier and have her come help me out sooner. If you're a new mom and don't have much family in town, bring her in early to help out so you can shower, leave the home, and take a little break. It made me so much happier when interacting with my little boy. He loves smiling and cooing at her, and at me after she has left. Thanks for everything Corrine.

Corinne has been with us for 7 months so far as a nanny for our twin boys and has been terrific! She has a great fund of knowledge about little ones and she provides a stimulating environment for them. She recognizes them as individuals even though they themselves are just learning who they are and will become. Because one of our guys had seizures, it has been reassuring to have someone with him who we know is observant and would know what to do in an emergency. We love getting pictures of them and updates on a daily basis also! We found Corinne when our guys were 10 months but wish we could have had her start earlier, as she has lots of experience with significantly younger children. There has never been a hint that Corinne might lose patience with them even at their grouchiest. She spent many a night standing outside their doors while we were gently sleep training our problem sleeper. Most importantly Corinne has provided a loving, entertaining, educational environment when we could not be home; however in addition, she is a very hard worker and often vacuums and cleans the primary living space as well as doing baby laundry.
