Mahlet D.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Mahlet, and I can confidently say she is an exceptional sitter. From the moment we met, Mahlet was warm, kind, and extremely professional. She took the time to listen carefully during our initial meeting and followed all the instructions for caring for my 7-year-old son, who is neurodivergent. Her attentiveness, calm presence, and natural ability to connect made a world of difference. What stood out most to me was how genuinely present she was with my son. She met him exactly where he was—emotionally, socially, and developmentally. Her intuition and empathy were evident in the way she engaged with him, showing incredible patience and care without being solely performative. These are qualities that matter deeply when working with children, who can often sense when someone is truly “with” them versus simply managing them. My son—who is not quick to form attachments—was VERY tearful and begged for Mahlet to return. It felt like watching his first real heartbreak. Kids are natural feelers, and his reaction said everything: he felt seen, safe, and valued. I saw it too—Mahlet is simply a good person, and that shines through in her work. If you're looking for someone who brings professionalism, emotional intelligence, and genuine compassion—Mahlet is an absolute rare find. We are so grateful to have connected with her.
