Maureen was absolutely wonderful with our 2-3 year old, reliable and consistent for a regular sitting position over several months. Our daughter LOVES her, and so do we. We would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Maureen was amazing with our toddler. She was patient and kind and spoke to our daughter like a person. Really and truly, it felt like having a family member watch her instead of a sitter and our daughter had so much fun. I just found one of the stickers Maureen gave our daughter and thought about how much fun they had. I very much recommend Maureen and I wish we could bring her with us to our new home.
