"Shannon is the best! She had assisted our family as our main after school tutor and caregiver to both of our children ages 9 and 12. Shannon had handled the retrieval of our children from their school as well as after school tutoring. We have found her to be reliable and hardworking however, we are most impressed with her maturity and commitment toward her responsibility."

"Becka started working for us when she was our son's ABA tutor. At the time our son was very young and on the autism spectrum, and Becka came to our house a few days a week to work with him. Becka was so good with both our kids, we decided to hire her as a sitter as well. She is very professional, patient, great with kids and extremely responsible. I can't recommend her highly enough!"
