Piano &/or Art Lessons, are roughly $40-$60, all supplies included. Sickness Policy: Typically. I will not care for sick children. However, It depends on Read more what they have. As someone who has kids at home & works with other families, I don't want to risk getting them sick. If it's contagious, I leave it to the parents to be parents & I stay home to avoid spreading it from one household to the other. Just like if my kids at home were sick, I wouldn't take their germs to work with me. If it isn't contagious, then I stick to whatever needs to be done: medicine, cuddling & fluids. My favorite sports are: Baseball, Basketball, Bowling, Dance (Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Contemporary, Ballroom), Fishing, Hula-hooping, Jump Rope, kickball, Roller Skating, Swimming, Tennis, Twirling, Yoga.

Violet was kind and adaptable. My daughter, is quite picky about sitters, and wasn't in a great mood when Violet arrived to babysit while I visited San Diego this Christmas break. Violet was however patient, and ended up having good fun with her: drawing, doing mazes, playing games. Violet was on time, and came prepared with appropriate art materials and games. She is also a pretty awesome pianist, but unfortunately my 5 year old daughter doesn't yet have appreciation for piano performances. So when it was clear playing piano for my daughter wasn't engaging, she switched gears to connect with her by other means. They did manage to have some fun with the piano later in the night though. Thank you Violet for the great help!

We had Violet watch our 5 year old and 6 month old baby and she was fabulous! She taught my daughter al little bit on how to play music on her Keyboard which she loved! She also did crafts with her and that is one of her favorite things to do! She was great with my baby too. Got him down easily. My daughter can't stop talking about her and can't wait to have her watch her again!

Violet is a wonderful babysitter! We hired her to watch our 4 year-old son for the evening, and he had a great time with her. She is incredibly sweet, kind, and patient. We could tell right away that she's a gentle spirit. Another bonus... Violet is a music teacher! She was able to start teaching our son a few things on the keyboard while she watched him. How cool! Finally, Violet has loads of experience caring for kids as well as for her own children who are now older. We felt great about leaving our son in her care - knowing that she'd be kind and responsible. We highly recommend Violet as a babysitter!
