My wife and I came into Nashville for a wedding, and needed help with our twin babies of 13 months. After speaking with Carina on the phone, we felt confident that we had found the perfect person to help with our children for both the rehearsal dinner and the day of the wedding. My wife and I were standing up in the wedding, as were the babies. Needless to say, after only a few minutes with our children, we were thrilled with the decision in choosing Carina. She far exceeded our expectations. It is not an easy task to watch over twins who just recently learned how to walk. Carina handled each and every situation wonderfully. She was a God send, and we cannot speak highly enough of her character and abilities. It was a pleasure having her be part of our family for the weekend.
