In college, I majored in Psychology and Early Childhood Education. I have been trained in CPR for over 30 years and I was a certified CPR & 1st Aid Instructor for over 6 years. I have worked with multiples in the past as well as children with ADD/ADHD, Autism, Down Syndrome.

Beth was excellent! She responded to a last minute babysitting job and was amazing! She was on time, prompt with responses... and best of all... great with my kids!

I feel completely comfortable leaving my newborn with Beth. She is flexible and caring. I liked that as soon as she arrives she "gets to work" for lack of a better way of saying it. I don't really have to direct her to do certain things - she just takes over so I can get back to getting myself ready to go out. She has a very motherly way about her; my husband and I noticed right off the bat that she was very comfortable and confident as a caretaker.

Beth was great! She babysat my two children who are 3 and 1. She also babysat my friend's infant at the same time. She did a great job with all three children. The children all enjoyed playing with her and I felt very comfortable when we left the house. I was very impressed by her knowledge of child-rearing and infant care. We will definitely use her again!

Beth was warm and engaging with my 2 1/2 yr old and gave me a nicely detailed run-down of her time with my kids while I was gone. We're happy to have her coming back!

Beth was wonderful!! Not only did she actually play with my 3 year old, she wrote down my 3 month old's schedule (diaper changes, feedings, sleep times). The next day, the 3 year old kept asking when "Miss Beth" was coming back to visit. I will definitely hire her again!
