Great attention to detail and safety. She brought a big suitcase full of art supplies and crafts- my 8 year old and 6 year old had a great time. I would give her a very high recommendation!

Heather was friendly, on time, and did a great job caring for our son. We were lucky to have met her and have a hard time finding other sitters that stack up now that we know people like Heather are out there!
