Machelle R.

All parents want the best for their children and quite simply that is what Machelle provides. Yes, she covers all the basics; professional, caring, detailed and observant, but she is so much more. My twin 8-month-old boys light up with smiles and giggles whenever she enters the room. Machelle has worked for me as a part-time babysitter for over 5 months and I cannot express in words what she means to our family. Life can be stressful, but Machelle keeps us calm. My babies are happy and loved. She gives so much energy and attention to them every minute of everyday. When I leave for work, I never have to look over my shoulder and wonder. Machelle is there.

I would recommend Machelle to anyone looking for peace of mind while away from their children. From the time my daughter was 8 weeks old (now 5 months), Machelle has been our caregiver while I am at my part-time job and I couldn't be more thrilled that we found her! First and foremost she is beyond attentive to my daughter's needs. I come home to a happy, stimulated, rested baby and know it is because of the hard work she's put in all day. I often forget things I need at work (a new mom thing I guess?) and have to pop home unannounced, and each time Machelle is actively involved with my child. Second, all that important information our kids give to us daily is not lost when I have to be out of the home. Machelle has great communication, and I always know exactly what I'm coming home to (naps, moods, eating, etc). That communication carries through to scheduling and expectations. She has been immediately responsive when I've had last-minute things come up. I also feel completely comfortable communicating my expectations to her, knowing they will be met and exceeded. I pick her experienced mother-brain from time to time as well, and feel that I'm a better mother for working with her. Third, I get the occasional picture update on my kiddo. Priceless! Fourth, she is forever doing little things to help me out - I'll come home to my daughter's folded laundry or a washed pot (she uses every opportunity to teach the little ones!) and even a vacuumed floor. Fifth, I completely trust her judgment. That makes all the difference when there's someone in charge of your child. Machelle brings a true joy to her work and is invested in the children she spends time with. Our family is blessed to work with her!
