Nanny Amy
"Amy made a natural connection quickly with our 4 year old son and has been our go-to babysitter for 1 year and a half now. She engages with him and keeps him well entertained. He is not quick to trust new people, so we were ready for her to be challenged. She handled him very well. She is trustworthy and takes her job seriously. We recommend her to everyone!"
- Sonya
Nanny Amy
"I am still working with Amy but I wanted to let everyone know how highly I would recommend her. She has done overnights with my 3 year old special needs son, and then took care of my one week old baby over multiple overnights when I had to unexpectedly go back to the hospital - she handled everything perfectly and is the only one I trust with kids now!"
