While on vacation in Long Beach, We needed a sitter for our 5 year old daughter short notice. Elizabeth responded quickly to the posting. I was new to the process and she helped me feel at ease. My daughter had a wonderful time with her. She is very warm and kind. Our daughter loved her! They had a great time at Funland, and Elizabeth had our daughter to bed ahead of time. ☺️ She was happy to stay later than we previously arranged, so my husband and I could continue our evening. We will most certainly be calling on her again. Thank you Elizabeth we will hopefully see you again soon!
