I love caring for children. I have babysat ever since I was 16, continuing my mother's work, and I am 50. Later on, I babysat for all of my sister's children, which are currenty in their 25s. When I had my 2 kids , I got a true feeling of what caring for children really was , which is why I would be an ideal sitter for your child/ren.

We found Glenda through a neighborhood website and were very skeptical of hiring someone we didn't know to watch our kids. We set up a formal interview at our house and she brought her husband. We immediately fell in love with Glenda and knew that she was the perfect fit for caring for our almost two year old daughter and our son, who would be arriving soon. She stayed with us until they moved. My son was a little over one and my daughter was just turning 3. It was a sad day as we felt like we lost so much when she left. She was, and continues to be a great role model, a teacher, a friend, and an extension to our family. She cared for my kids with more compassion and love than I ever imagined. She was always interactive, playing, and laughing with them. She taught them songs and focused on developing their Spanish language. She was always extremely flexible and would change her personal plans to accommodate our schedules. She even taught me some wonderful recipes! We miss her terribly. She certainly raised the expectations of a "babysitter". If you hire her, she will bring so much joy into your home and you find a friend that you'll keep forever. Be good to her please.

Five stars does not do this review justice-- she is above and beyond the best! My two children love her like family- they light up with excitement when they see her. Words really can't express how great she has been to us- especially the first year after my second child was born. We love her dearly!

There are really no words that can describe how amazing Glenda is. She was not a sitter but family. My daughter loves her and we know we found someone special when we found her. We never worried when she was with Glenda and always knew we could count on her. We are so sad we moved away from her and can only hope we find someone half as good as her. She truly loved our daughter. Thank you Glenda!!
