Courtney has been babysitting 1-2 times a month for our now 13 month old daughter for the last 6 months. She is responsive, punctual, wonderful with our daughter, but most importantly, (since my daughter is too young to tell us how much she loves Courtney) my two very skittish dogs are always curled up on her lap when we get home. If the dogs love her, she must be good. She even texts my (initially) nervous wife pictures of the Courtney and my daughter having fun throughout the evening. Wonderful. -Bruce M.

Courtney is a great sitter, my three kids love her as I knew they would. We've already set up the next time for her to sit for us. She is very friendly, responsible and flexible. My kids are 4, 7 and 9 and I highly recommend her!

Courtney just babysat for us for a week, and she was really great. She's both laid back (so welcome during a very frenzied week for us) and responsive/responsible. After having a couple of others fall through, we found Courtney to be really on the ball. We wouldn't hesitate to hire her again. My 8yo son reports, "Courtney's the best sitter because she lets me stay at the park long and is almost unbeatable in Pokemon." So she has won over parents and child alike.
