Marisa L.

Marisa has been babysitting our son for a little over a year now. In this time, we could not feel more comfortable leaving our son with her. Marisa came highly recommended from a friend of ours, who told us that she is a "solid person" that has a great head on her shoulders. When we first met Marisa, we immediately found this to be true. Marisa is very responsible and mature for her age. The first couple of times she babysat, we reviewed with her what and how we wanted things done. It didn't take long before that became unnecessary. She takes charge when she gets to our house and is helpful immediately after she walks in the door. The best thing about Marisa is that along with responsibility and maturity, she mixes in the perfect amount of caring and fun. These characteristics make her a great babysitter. Our son absolutely adores her, and feels comfortable with her. She does many different activities with him that contributes toward his personal development; she does not count on the television being the babysitter. Marisa has shown that she has the desire to go above and beyond what is asked of her. We have never requested or expected anything but keeping our son happy and healthy, however she always cleans up after the two of them. She always stays extra time after we get home and is eager to discuss everything they did that afternoon or night, she is not one to dart out of the door and be on her way. She is very punctual and she genuinely cares about whether she is doing everything correctly. Marisa has proven to have many good characteristics that make her a great babysitter. We are certain that these same characteristics are going to make her a success in anything she puts her mind to in the future. She will be extremely missed when her life takes her in other directions. We wish her the best in everything she does!
