Emily stayed in consistent contact with me and was so patient! Thank you for that! Although I am not a type a parent with my Leo, she still was so understanding and curious on what was needed for Leo to feel comfortable! She s a great caregiver! Highly recommend for first timers on the app or in general having a sitter for the first time.

Emily was amazing! She stepped in on short notice and took such great care of Shiloh. From the moment they met, we could tell he was comfortable and really liked her. She was very kind and attentive and made sure he felt safe. It gave us such a peace of mind knowing Shiloh was in good hands. We will definitely book with Emily again.
