Lorraine lovingly cares for my 7 month old little girl. It’s so hard to open your home to someone and trust them with your baby but with Lorraine it all seemed so easy and natural. Of course she is also on time and reliable. Can’t recomend her enough.

Lorraine was excellent with our two very energetic boys. She arrived on time and immediately won them over with her playfulness and sense of authority. She was great, and I would highly recommend her!

Lorraine was very helpful, reliable and good with my two school aged children one being special needs. I do not have any complaints. My children loved her and she helped my daughter with homework. I would hire her again if she lived near.
