Allison G.

Allison has a way with kids. I've seen first hand with my children, especially when they are having a "moment" not listening and temper tantrums. She talks very calmly to them, doesn't lose her cool and get them to calm down!

Ashlie was so helpful while we were in town for a wedding for 3 nights. She was always early, jumped right in to playing with our son, and got him fed and down for bed. She was reliable, trustworthy, engaged, and easy to coordinate with. She was a lifesaver for the weekend. Thank you Ashlie!!
