Tanya babysat our 4 year old daughter between Christmas and New Years in Dec. 2015. We were visiting Chicago from Michigan for 3 days for a family vacation. We were staying in a hotel near Water tower and had asked Tanya during the initial emails if she would be willing to come to our Hotel room and watch our daughter in the evenings while we went out for dinner etc. We set up a day and time and Tanya showed up very much on time as promised. Our daughter immediately liked her and almost asked us to leave so she could play with Tanya! After we left, Tanya would send us some texts/pictures with updates of how our daughter was doing which was VERY nice of her to do as it made us feel better knowing she is in great hands and having a Great time. The next 2 days the same schedule was implemented perfectly and every time Tanya showed up right on time and did an absolutely wonderful job with our daughter. She kept her very nicely entertained, played games with her, did crafts and all other "Intelligent" activities to keep our toddler busy rather than just turning a TV or Ipad on for her. Our daughter would ask us in the morning the next day, if Tanya would be returning that evening and when we said yes, she would be very happy to know that- instead of fussing over the fact that we would be leaving her again for a few hours. We will definitely be contacting Tanya again whenever we go back to Chicago this spring again and we very highly recommend her! Thanks for helping us Tanya!!
