Ultimately, I hope to provide your family with peace of mind, knowing your children are in capable and caring hands.
Merly is a fabulous caregiver. She's mature and capable as well as fun and educational. She babysat my 2-year-old multiple times while we were visiting friends. Our host observed that she was like Mary Poppins! She was able to keep my daughter entertained with the beach, music, dancing, etc.. She fed her good meals and tidied up our space as well. By coincidence Merly was performing at a festival we were going to the day after we first met, and she's a fabulous artist as well (singer and dancer ). You can't go wrong hiring Merly. I felt very lucky to find her.
