“Kay is amazing with our 9 month old boy and 4 year old girl. She is knowledgeable about everything baby related including baby led weaning, sleep training and developmental milestones. We trust her wholeheartedly with our kids. She is always on the floor with our baby helping him with his development, reading him books, singing to him, etc. She is always on the go, walking him to the park and proactively organizing play dates with other babies his age. She is very respectful of our home, keeping play and kitchen areas tidy. We highly recommend Kay and think any family would be lucky to have her care for their kids.”
