Sheila S.

I don’t normally write reviews on sitterity (and if I do it’s usually to warn parents about the person they are contemplating hiring). I am very particular on the types of people that I will allow my son to be around. As you are probably already aware of there are a lot of people on this website who think they are capable to watch your little one (and you wouldn’t even trust them with the “pet” skunk that sneaks in your back yard). Other times you think you found a good one and two months later they start to show their true colors. My son has been going there since June (2013) and we are still genuinely satisfied (and thrilled) customers. My son is very well-mannered and I wanted him to be constantly engaged through educational/ pretend play and exploration. Mrs. Sheila and Mrs. Irma are a mother daughter duo that are licensed daycare providers, that go WELL ABOVE AND BEYOND my expectations for child care providers. I work as a teacher and their facility is ran very similar to ones I have worked in. Mrs. Sheila is a well-mannered, professional who lets her inner child come out around the children and her mother is a tender-hearted, conservative, softer spoken sweetheart. You can tell that both of them genuinely care about the children that are in their care. My son absolutely adores them and I love the fact he jump out of my arms to go greet them when we walk in the door (well, I should say bitter sweet because I miss him when I have to leave but at least I can leave knowing he is genuinely happy and feels safe where he is at). He is always coming home with arts and crafts projects, tuckered out and overall looking like he had a great day of playing hard. I love the fact that they are academically based, practice hygiene (hand washing and teeth brushing), good old-fashioned manners (like saying please, thank you, excuse me and your welcome) and maintain an overall respectful/ courteous environment for the children. Both of them also communicate well and are very straight forward (which I am too so it is a match made in heaven) and my son is constantly coming home spouting off new words, counting and so much more. We are truly blessed to have met them and I could never imagine him anywhere else but there. If at any point you want to talk to me, I would be more than happy to provide a reference for them. Good luck in your search for a child care provider! However, I doubt you will find one better than Little Dooties ;)
