Jessenia was great with my 3 kids. She established trust and the kids were comfortable with her right away. It was great having her help us.

Jessenia was wonderful. At 1am, I found out I needed someone to care for my son that day. Long story short, they morning I spoke with Jessenia and she came over immediately! She arrived right when she said she would and my son warmed up to her immediately! She was very responsible and let me know when they went to the park as well as when she was returning. She shared so many photos of my son playing! It was so nice! I will definitely be reaching out to Jessenia again for future help (and hopefully she’s available!)
