Benna watched our 5 yr old and 1 yr old while my wife and I attended an event out of town. She was attentive to their needs, communicated well with my wife, and made everything stress-free. When we returned to the hotel room that evening, both kids were peacefully asleep. We highly recommend her for reliable and thoughtful childcare. Thanks again.
