Palm was on time, pleasant to work with, and great with our two kids (10, 6). She has a great attitude and was very responsive to communication before and during. Would definitely hire again.

Palm watched our 18 month old for a week while we were on vacation in North Carolina and she was *perfect* for us. We cannot recommend her highly enough to care for your children.
