"Carolina helped me with my then 1.5 and 5 yo. She’s very friendly and the kids took to her right away. I had asked her to babysit and never asked for any house chores but she took the initiative herself to do the chores like dishwasher / kitchen counters, sorting laundry. She is very responsible and I particularly appreciated that she was very patient feeding my picky eaters. She bathed the toddler every day too. She helped my kindergartner with his school work which obviously is pretty simple but she is quite well educated and I am sure can help older kids too. She was never late and a couple of times was available last minute too. When moving out of town connected me with other reliable sitters! We only need part time hours now otherwise would have just employed her back! I wholeheartedly recommend Carolina to take care of your kids."

"Vicki was an outstanding caregiver for my family for over a year. She was incredibly responsible, caring, thoughtful and loving during her time with my children. She was always on-time and never left any doubt regarding my children's safety or well being. My son (3yo) and daughter (1yo) learned and grew so much during their time with Vicki and they would consider her the most special person in their lives. I cannot express the admiration my family has for Vicki and any child/family is lucky to know her."
