Mandy is exceptional! She recently babysat for my two children (ages 4 1/2 and 11 months) and did wonderfully. She arrived promptly and quickly got up-to-speed on how to feed, play with, and put our kids to bed. Our 4-year old enjoyed playing with her and getting to have a new friend. She is very genuine, experienced, responsible and fun - all tremendous assets when leaving your babies in someone else's care. Thank you Mandy and we look forward to having you sit for us in the future! - Kim M.

Mandy recently took care of my three boys (ages 4, 9 & 12) and was a great sitter. She was very friendly, quick to respond to e-mails and on time. I loved that she sent a little e-mail reminder before the sitting date so that I knew she had us scheduled. Once here, she was ready to jump right in and spend time with the boys doing what they were interested in. She had a positive attitude and did a great job following our routines. All three boys gave her a big thumbs up and would like to have her come back.

Mandy exceeded my expectations in every way. The best thing about Mandy was that she totally connected with the kids. My daughter didn't want her to leave, and then my son asked when she was coming back. Mandy picked the kids up from school, made them lunch, and cleaned up. I can't imagine a better experience for my kids or for me. I was relieved to have such a genuine person working with our kids. According to my son, the best thing about Mandy is that, "she is Mandy!!" And according to my daughter, the best thing about Mandy is that she played with me!" I will call her back, no doubt. Thanks, Mandy!
