Rita has taken care of our 14 month old son for about four months, two days a week. She is the first person we ever left our son with outside of family and I was very nervous. Rita’s calm, gentle and capable demeanour put me at ease right away and our son took to her straight away too. She sent me videos and photos so that I could feel less anxious and was very understanding. She followed our instructions carefully regarding feeding and napping but also things like making sure our son was gentle with our pets, which were important to us. She speaks Spanish and English to our son as we requested because we are teaching him Spanish. She is very kind and fun to talk to and takes her role seriously. Rita has been such an enormous help to our family and we are so lucky to have her!
