Vanessa has been such a huge help to me and my family! She is extremely reliable and is always on time. She engages with my son rather than "just watching" him which is very important to me. I'm very glad we found Vanessa and definitely recommend her without hesitation. She also has a son so that could be why she's such a natural.

Vanessa was excellent with my son and very reliable. My son seemed to really enjoy his time with her. She did a very good job baby sitting for us and I will continue to use Vanessa in the future when we need a babysitter.
