Diane is not professional, she demanded a booking fee prior to even meeting her. She calls/texts/leaves messages and overall is very annoying to deal with. No one wants to be call repeatedly at 6am asking for the address instead of reading the message with the address. She was late, didn’t even bother to let us know she would be late so we canceled after getting bad vibes from her. She has continued to call/message on SC and text. I would avoid her at all costs.
Diane D.'s reply
I’m sorry for any misunderstanding or inconvenience, however, as you can see from my 5 star ratings over the last 2+ years I must’ve been doing something right for those families whose children i actually did care for. Again, my apologies!

We hired Diane as a mommy’s helper in early December assist with childcare during a family vacation. She immediately connected with our one year old. Diane helped prepare meals for our son, took him on walks, and played with him. We will definitely be reaching out again the next time that we are in town.

She was so good to my kids. She managed 3 kids just perfectly and she was following my rules. My kids told me that they have fun with her.

Diane was great with my 2 kids (ages 6 and 2). She was patient with the toddler and played games with the older. She handled dinner and bedtime like a pro! Great communication and fair rates, we will hire Diane again!
