We really enjoyed our time with Amirie. She was always punctual and kept me informed about her arrival time, which I really appreciated. She was also very flexible and willing to stay longer when needed, which was incredibly helpful for our family. She did a wonderful job keeping my 23-month-old engaged — taking him on walks to the park, playing outside with him, and reading him books. The park is about 10 blocks from our home, and she would even carry him back when he got tired, which showed how caring and attentive she was. What I appreciated most was how patient and respectful she was with him. She always asked for his consent before doing things, like changing his diaper or getting him ready to eat. I loved that she never forced him, but instead gently and patiently encouraged him through transitions like diaper changes. She also helped with small household tasks such as folding laundry and loading/unloading the dishwasher, which made a big difference day to day. We truly appreciated having Amirie in our home, and I know our little one missed her when we left for vacation.

We hired Amirie during our busy days, and she was great with our three kids. We saw how she engaged with them and spoke to them kind-heartedly. The kids grew to love her and asked that we bring her again. I would definitely hire her when we need help.
