Cynthia is amazing! She was available on very short notice to help us out when our daycare unexpectedly closed down for two weeks. She cared for our 16mo son for several afternoons during that period including feeding him meals, going on walks, taking him to play outside with our chickens and dog, etc. It was immediately clear she has a great passion for kids and was undeterred when our son took a little effort to warm up the first day. She came prepared with fun new toys and games to help win him over which she certainly did! She is compassionate, intuitive, and simply a joy to be around. She even volunteered to help with laundry, folding cloth diapers, and house-cleaning when our son was napping! We will definitely call on Cynthia again for future date nights and/or when our usual daycare is unavailable.
