Marlena watched our two girls (2 & 1) for several nights so we could go out for kid-free dinners. She was flexible, responsible, adaptable, responsive and very thorough. Our girls loved her, she went above and beyond with creative play and clean-up, and made all of our vacation even better than we thought it could be! I give her my highest recommendation!!!
