We were surprised that our 18 month old didn't cry as she usually does when we left to go out to dinner. Shannon made her feel calm and was able to distract her with games and a walk to the park. Shannon has a serene demeanor and is punctual and a great communicator. A wonderful evening out for us and a great time for our daughter.
