She worked part time for us when my wife and I were away for work. We were sorry to see her go when she moved cities but we highly recommend her as a sitter/Nanny."

"To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to highly recommend Giselle as a nanny for your child care needs. She performed after-school and weekend nanny duties for my 5- and 8-year-old sons from March 2021 to January 2023.
Giselle is an incredibly patient individual who takes the time to meet even the rowdiest kids' needs. She always arrived early or on time, giving me peace of mind that my boys would be safe and supervised after school. Gi's positive attitude and enthusiasm for seeing children develop their skills and curiosity was admirable and irresistible."
