Reka has cared for our 4 yo girl several times for weekend date nights and has been great with our 4 year old. She expertly guides our sometimes-spirited girl and follows our usual bedtime routine. She is personable and punctual. We highly recommend her.

Reka is a rare, fantastic find! She has helped us out on several occasions, and has become our first choice, go-to babysitter. She is great with my two children, ages 4 and 22 months; they are always excited when she comes over. And she follows our directions for bed time routine and snacks, which we truly appreciate! I strongly recommend her!

Reka is a wonderful babysitter. She recently came to stay with our boys (one is 15 months old, the other just turned 9 years old) and she did a fantastic job! Our older boy truly enjoyed spending time with her, and she provided wonderful care for our baby boy. He is not used to being cared for by anyone besides us, but he warmed up to Reka right away. This was all the more remarkable because he was napping when my wife and I left the house and awoke to see Reka for the first time, without us there. We're very glad that we found Reka and will be asking her to come stay with our boys again in the near future. We highly recommend her!

Reka has done a fantastic job with my 8 year old daughter. She is friendly, reliable and punctual. My daughter gets excited to hear the babysitter is coming over. She's good with special instructions and proactive with regular scheduling. I would recommend her to anyone with childcare needs.
