Jacki was our almost 2 year old twins' this past summer, and she was everything we had hoped for in a caretaker/nanny and more. She was warm, competent, creative, playful with our kids and reliable. Jacki was also flexible when we asked for extra hours on the front or back end. She communicated well in advance the days she might need to take off, and was otherwise on time, if not early, every morning. Most importantly, both of our twins, who do not take to new people that quickly, immediately warmed up to her on day one, and I truly believe that is because Jacki is so comfortable and competent around young children. They were so happy any time I saw them with her, and they just felt so comfortable with Jacki, who was caring, and playful, and taught them new skills, words, and songs over the summer. Jacki came up with creative activities and outings for the twins, and took the initiative to suggest activities and things to do both inside and outside of the home. In addition, Jacki was great with our older child (4yo) who spent mornings with Jacki before going to school/daycare. We feel so fortunate to have met Jacki, and trusted her completely with our kids. They had a great summer thanks to Jacki (and so did we, knowing our kids were in great hands while we were at work). I highly recommend Jacki (even though, I know it means more competition for us for ad hoc sitting!).
