Hi I'm a fun mom that has had three beautiful, talented and motivated children. I was an aide in St. Michaels school when they were small and have been watching children since 8th grade! I like and enjoy being with children, especially babies. I would be a great person to have around your children and would take care of them as if they were my own!

Wow. That pretty much sums up my experience with Debra. I'm a mother of two young boys and it was refreshing to have another mom as a sitter. The first time she sat for us, she was very diligent in asking thorough questions so that she understood exactly what my kids needed and what their preferences were. She's a mom, so she gets "it." She even won over my 4-going-on-14-year old. She tried different techniques, but was never pushy. She reached him on his level, on his own terms. Upon coming home, she wished me a Happy Mother's Day, saying she gave me a gift. The gift was that she picked up my house, even put some detailed flourishes that were very thoughtful. I can' t wait to have her over again because she didn't feel like a sitter, she felt like an aunt who helps you look after the kids. Two thumbs up for sure!
