Auggie is such a fun person to be around and is very good at reading kids and adjusting to their needs. She not only watched my kids, but also taught them to ski with the patience of a saint! My kids loved her and miss her now that she is gone! They always had some fun craft that they were proud to have accomplished with “Miss Auggie” and she makes the worlds best sugar cookies! - Michelle
Auggie was my daughter’s private ski instructor and was truly amazing. My daughter had so much fun with her and learned so much. She was great with all of the kids around the ski area and was everyone’s favorite! Any family would be so lucky to have her working with them and caring for their kids. - Sarah
Laurie is an exceptionally warm, competent and capable caregiver who is extremely reliable and professional. My son adores her and we felt tremendously confident in her abilities. - Gamble
