Katrina H.
5.0
Katrina is an amazing childcare giver. My family was so very grateful to have her with us. She took great care of my two boys and if not for having lost touch due to COVID/quarantine, she would definitely still be with us.

Christelle M.
5.0
Christelle was great with my boys. My one-year-old doesn't gravitate toward people and he was comfortable with her. He didn't cry when I left to run my errands. Christelle did educational activities with my toddler and he loves learning. I will hire Christelle again.

Our school cancelled for snow at 8:00 and Sabine showed up at 8:35, saving the day. She is so great with the kids, easygoing, mature, communicative, flexible, and always on time. She made healthy lunches and kept the house neat too. Awesome sitter!
