I highly recommend Betsy! Betsy has a great personality and is fantastic with children. She is also easy to contact and returns messages promptly. On very short notice, Betsy agreed to help us when we desperately needed a babysitter for our 1-year old and our 10-year old. Our 1-year old can be quite shy but Betsy was easily able to quickly gain her trust. Also, our 10-year old thinks she is "really cool". Betsy was able to keep them both occupied and happy. In addition, she also did some light cleaning for us which we appreciated very much. We have since had Betsy babsit for us again and we will certainly seek her help in the future. Again, I highly recommend Betsy!

Betsy was able to help out last minute for a little boy home sick from day care. She was able to provide much needed TLC for Augie and needed coverage for me. She jumped in to make herself comfortable with Augie and my home-- prepared and cleaned up meals-- put Augie down for nap-- etc. I would highly recommend Betsy to other moms. Thanks, Betsy!
