Alessandra really came to my family's rescue for a last minute job when our babysitter was stuck out of town due to a hurricane. She was professional and trustworthy and we really felt comfortable leaving our precious children with her even though it was last minute. She is intelligent, flexible, and energetic enough to care for our three very young children. She also went above and beyond keeping our house neat and clean. I hope to have an opportunity (that is not such an emergency) to call her again. She is fantastic.

We were extreamly pleased with Alessandra when she watched our kids during my sisters wedding. The children were happy and seemed very engaged with her. She was very proffessional and flexible with our nights plans. I would recommend her to anyone and will look to use her services again on our travels to New York. Eric
