I was stuck without a sitter at the last minute, and I needed to go straight from my office to a work event. Any sitter I picked needed to take over from the kids’ nanny, sight unseen. Thankfully, Claire was able to hop on a call with me and the nanny and we talked through the transition. Everything was seamless, and my kids loved her — they worked on an art project, played Wax Museum, and watched a movie. I’ll definitely call on Claire again!
