From the first moment, Dorothy showed up to help our son grow, learn, and explore. She spent time with him exploring the city, reading, practicing new words and activities. His progress is clear - he shares new words with us every day. Dorothy was helping us with care during the day until we sorted out daycare, but if we weren't trying to get him into a school setting we would definitely continue working with Dorothy. She is thoughtful, kind, and an amazing caregiver.
