Dixie does it all for the kids and does it with excellence! She's a female knight in shining armor! She's early and she's more ready to go than anyone else in the house! I've two toddler boys -- almost 2 and almost 4. They adore her. After her first visit, my oldest told me that he loved her. She gets them out for adventures which is important because they are super active. Dixie challenges my boys in wonderful ways -- intellectually, behaviorally -- which is valued because neither of them are in school. She helps with the laundry though I didn't ask her; it's much appreciated! She cooks the kids new meals and they love it. I'm grateful that she came into our home. I trust her and would highly highly recommend her to anyone.
