Cathy is awesome! From our first chat we felt a very positive, genuine vibe from her and we loved welcoming her into our home. Taking care of three girls is not an easy task, but Cathy is a pro. She danced, sang, and even built a tent out of blankets just to keep our girls entertained. We will definitely be having her back!

She did a great job with our twins and helped out with some other things like washing their bottles, folding their clothes and a few other things. She did show up late but she more than made up for it with the help she provided.
