About Meryl

Reviewed on 2/2/2017

Meryl is a true GEM. For 4 months in 2016, while I taught at URI during the fall semester, Meryl took care of our two very active children (11 and 12) in the afternoons after school and of our sweet, old, special-needs dog. Not only is Meryl clearly very experienced in raising both children and pets, she is also kind, caring, honest, firm but not strict, and listens very carefully and attentively to what you say and therefore remembers the most minute details of instructions you've given! She is proactive (often reminded me in advance of calendar items I had already forgotten about, like early-release days at school), and she is super trustworthy, reliable and responsible. She was more than punctual each day - she actually arrived early so she wouldn't be in a rush. Meryl was also flexible and accommodating and, if her work schedule allowed, helped us out on a moment's notice if we unexpectedly needed child or pet care. To sum up: 5 stars for Meryl! I highly recommend her!!!
