Isabella H.

I truly don’t know if there are enough good things I could say about Izzie. She has become so much more to our family than simply a babysitter, and I genuinely don’t think she has any idea how much she helps me and how grateful I am for her. We have four kids, all with completely different ages, personalities, needs, and schedules, and she handles the chaos with an ease that amazes me. She doesn’t just “watch” our kids. She knows them, talks to them, plays with them, listens to their endless stories, laughs with them, and has formed her own relationship with each of them. They absolutely LOVE her and are genuinely excited when they know Izzie is coming. One of the sweetest things she does is my daughter’s nails. This may seem like such a small thing, but it is so special to my daughter. She looks forward to it, and it gives them such a sweet opportunity to spend time together. I love seeing how excited and proud my daughter is when Izzie does her nails, and it means so much to me that Izzie takes the time to do something that feels so special to her. And somehow, on top of taking amazing care of four kids, she CLEANS for me. I cannot explain what it feels like to come home after being gone and realize that not only were my kids safe, happy, and loved, but my house is cleaner than when I left. She notices things that need done without me asking. She picks up, cleans, helps with the mess and chaos that comes with having four kids, and takes things off my plate that she probably doesn’t even realize were weighing on me. As a busy mom, that is an incredible gift. There have been so many times I’ve walked in after she’s been here and thought, “She seriously has no idea how much she just helped me.” I trust Izzie completely, which is the highest compliment I could ever give someone caring for my children. I can leave and actually relax because I know they are safe, loved, and with someone who genuinely cares about them. At this point, calling her our “babysitter” doesn’t even feel right. She is part of our village, she makes my life easier, she loves our babies, and our entire family absolutely adores her. If you are lucky enough to have Izzie care for your children, you have found an absolute gem. Five stars doesn’t even begin to cover it. ❤️
