“Sophie was such a treat to have as a babysitter! I was home the whole time since k work from home and all I heard was tons of babbling and laughter from my 21 month old. Sophie was willing to help out with food prep, meal times, diaper changes and getting my active son who loves the outside out and about. I really appreciated how she thoughtfully engaged him and we look forward to having her back in the future! ”
