Marlene D.

We just recently moved from NYC to Tampa. While living in NYC, Marlene was our go-to babysitter for well over a year. The kids immediately developed a relationship with her and would ask when Marlene would be able to come play with them again. She is now a close family friend and even came to visit us in Tampa recently. She is a very mature and competent caregiver - we trusted her completely to care for our 2 little girls in our absence. Also, since she is a college student, it was nice that she had such flexibility with her schedule and could come watch our kids at the drop of a hat. She was great with playing with the girls, taking them out to the playground, and with prepping meals for them. She always gave me a thorough backbrief when we would return from being away from the kids-something I appreciate even more now as we re-establish relationships with new sitters. I highly recommended Marlene-she is truly genuine in her desire to be a caregiver and takes the job very seriously!
