Raquel R.
5.0
I hired Raquel to watch my 2 month old. For different reasons, she only watched my little one once. She was on time and knew how to jump right in.
When she did she took care of both the baby, cleaned up the kitchen and helped with the laundry. It was a relief to have these things done.

It also helps to know that she's very diligent in safety, which gives me a peace of mind...
