Most recent review
Colleen helped babysit our 2 children, ages 6yo and 2yo. They had a lot of fun with her and she kept them safe and entertained with a visit to the park and playing around the house. She also went above and beyond with helping us put some dishes away without us even asking. We hope to have her help our family again in the future!
