“Shelley did a terrific job taking care of our 3.5 year old. She was great about jumping right in to feed her dinner, play games, read to her, and give her a bath before bed.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
