Karen babysat our 3 and 5 year old kids while we were in town for a wedding. For us it was unnerving having a new person in a new place babysitting our kids. Karen eased our nerves by coming to meet us and our children the night before the wedding. All went well and Karen took good care of our kids, which included getting them ready for bed and putting them to bed. If we came back to VT and needed a sitter I would not hesitate to contact Karen again.
