Abby is very responsible and reliable babysitter. My boys like her very much and tell me that Abby is a good girl which is the highest compliment they (ages 3 1/2 and 5) can give to a person at this time. All routines (i.e. dinner and bed) for the kids were followed exactly as directed. We and the children couldn't be happier.
