Amber was great with our 3 kids. They loved her and had so much fun. Our girls are still asking when they get to see her again. She did alot of fun things with them like playing games, tried to take them to them park (but it was too hot), and even painted the girls nails and did thier hair for them. I will definitely want her to watch my children again.
