We first met Sky a couple of years ago when she babysat for our family, and she immediately became one of our most trusted caregivers. She was consistently reliable—always on time (often early) and great about confirming dates and any schedule changes in advance. Her communication was excellent: quick responses to texts, clear updates while we were out (without over‑messaging), and thoughtful questions about my kids’s routines, food, and comfort items. I always felt “in the loop” and never had to wonder how things were going at home. Most importantly, Sky formed a genuine connection with my kids. She engaged with him on his level—reading, imaginative play, and gentle redirection when needed. He lit up when she arrived. Bedtime was smoother with her than with most sitters we’ve had. Sky is kind, attentive, and mature beyond her years. Knowing she’s considering becoming a full‑time professional nanny after graduation doesn’t surprise me at all—she has the temperament, work ethic, and heart for it. We would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to other families. My kids still miss her!
