Most recent review
Debbie has been incredible to work with for the past year! She started with us part-time when our son was 5 months, and he's now nearly 16 months; she has been phenomenal with him all the way through. She's kind and nurturing, and extremely tuned into his moods, likes/dislikes, and needs. Now that our son is a bit older, she's been incredible about identifying new activities (crafts, music, sign language, exploring...) to keep him excited and engaged. We feel like he's in (pre-) preschool -- he's learning so much and really thriving. She is completely respectful of whatever we as parents set as the household routine, while also occasionally offering helpful perspective from her deep knowledge of children's development. As a professional, she's punctual, reliable, friendly, and a great communicator. Most importantly, our son ADORES her and gets a huge smile on his face whenever she walks in the door. Debbie has been a real gift to our family and we couldn't recommend her more highly!
