Beverly J.

When our nanny called out sick, we tried all our usual backups and found no one who could stay with our two young kids. We emailed Beverly and she got back to us right away. We spoke on the phone and she was very professional and made us feel comfortable since we would be leaving our children with a stranger. She confirmed the start time with me an hour before coming and provided her drivers license for identity to help make us more comfortable. She immediately went to work helping with the kids while I got ready for work. She was outgoing, fun, and seemed genuinely happy to be spending time with the kids. I came home for lunch to find them laughing and playing, barely even noticing me. When I got back after work, the house was clean, the toys were put away, and the dishes were done. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again. I wanted to post this review to reassure others who might be in our position that Beverly kept our kids safe and happy all day.

Beverly watched my 15m/o daughter all day on Friday, and my daughter really seemed to love it. Beverly has a great sense of how she can be helpful. She knows, without me having to ask, when she needs to take over child care so I can have my hands free to do things so I can get out the door and off to work. She's also very quick to invent ideas to keep my daughter entertained and happy. My daughter is just starting to develop separation anxiety, so it's common for her to cry when I try to leave her with someone, particularly someone she doesn't recognize. When my daughter started crying when I first started leaving, Beverly was unfazed, and redirected her energy into playing with some toys until I was gone. I felt very comfortable leaving them for the day, and all was peaceful and happy on my return. Great job.
