I would recommend Felice for any household care needs. We have a special, unique household, and Felice came in and did not miss a beat. Felice’s calm yet engaging personality was a perfect fit for our family. She is responsible, understanding and has a great attitude as a caregiver. I highly recommend her!

Felice was fantastic filling in for us on short notice for a very late night with our infant daughter. She was unflappable from the get-go as our daughter was being a bit difficult while we were giving her an orientation to the house. Felice has a very warm and kind demeanor which set us at ease and gave us regular updates both unprompted and when we texted to check in. We will call Felice again for sure.

When I met Felice I liked her instantly. She has a very friendly personality and has a willingness to help. Very punctual and responsive. She is a wonderful sitter and was very happy to have found such a great fit when we needed it!

Upon meeting Felice I immediately knew I could trust her to babysit my son, who was about 8 months old at the time. She too is a mom and totally 'gets' babies and their needs. My son was not the best napper and yet she was able to get him down with patience. While he was up, she played with him and kept him engaged and on schedule. Most importantly, Felice is super friendly and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend Felice!

Felice has been really responsive and provided great documentation and information around herself and was even open to share a bit about her and her family. She will be the first person we are entrusting to watch our little one and we feel very confident with our choice given all the open communication. Looking forward to many more future nights off with her help :)
