Kristen R.

I am not really sure how to express our experience with Kristen except that she is and always will be a part of our family. She is a strong, independent, responsible, energetic and deeply loving person who my son will always owe a great deal to for giving him such a wonderful environment that was filled with learning and playful fun days. Kristen taught me a lot, this being my first child, and we will always have a place in our home for her as our good friend. The week Kristen started my husband was involved in a horrible accident and in/out of the hospital for months. She was flexible, always on time and kept my house in perfect shape. During this same time our 14 year old dog passed away, which only further deepened the sadness within our household. Kristen was bubbly, but not over the top, LOVED playing with my son (who was 4 months when she started) and kept us all going. My 80 year old Mother came to town to visit and spent the entire work week with Kristen who was so patient and respectful with her. My Mother adored her! The animals in my house were glued to her, which is very rare. She would walk our dog, brush him and included him in the activities with our son. It was so cute to watch. I am not sure how to convey what a gem she really is. I can't recommend her enough. If you are in need of care for your children, hire her. It doesn't get any better.

Kristen provided care on-call for our daughter when she was ill. The baby was happy and didn't cry all day (my husband was upstairs ill also and he provided this report). When I came home, I was very pleasantly surprised that Kristen had bathed the baby, cleaned the kitchen and done some laundry. I did not ask her to do any of these things and I was very very happy. The only reason we did not choose her was because of some potential changes in my job schedule which would have conflicted with Kristen's schedule. I highly recommend her without hesitation if you are looking for care for your child.
