Wambui has been a wonderful addition to our family. She engages very well with our 1 and 3 year olds. She comes up with new activities daily that develop fine and gross motor skills, and she is especially great at helping our three year old develop his writing and reading skills. She has a great attitude and is upbeat throughout the day. She helps with tidying the kids’ play space, meal/snack prep, and helps with the dishes. Highly recommend Wambui!
