Paula is great. She has been with us for a while and is trustworthy, reliable and has a bubbly personality. She is a valuable member of the team. The day is filled with activities, such as, playing, construction, reading and has even taught my son Spanish. We are very happy to have Paula.

5.0“Paula watched our 7 month old son for 5 hours during the evening. He started wailing when she arrived as he knew we were leaving. Paula was not phased at all and immediately started interacting and singing to him to distract him from the fact we were walking out the door.

5.0“Paula is AMAZING! We were a little hesitant leaving our 8mth old baby and 4 year old with someone we hadn't met before but Paula immediately put us at ease with the bond that she developed instantly with our children. Paula communicated with us as the evening progressed to let us know how the children were doing and the following day our eldest daughter was asking if she could please see Paula again! Highly recommend!”
5.0“I am a very wary parent, and this is the first time I used a service. She was super- the kids ages (11,6, 4) were so varied and she was great with all three - played really smart games with them. I would really recommend her to any parent and I am definitely going to request her to help me again...”

5.0“I wish I could leave more stars than just 5, Paula was a gem! She is such a natural with children - she put my skeptical 2 year old and 8 month old to ease quickly, and was full of ideas to keep my "mama's boy" little one entertained. She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures/videos, and gave me a detailed report each evening - just overall was very reassuring. She even went above and beyond and found a local community centre our kids would enjoy. She is amazing.”

5.0“Paula was extremely friendly, trustworthy, and sweet with my 9-month-old son. She immediately put us at ease and I felt completely comfortable leaving him with her. She was very punctual and professional, and we would be happy to see her again.”
