What a fabulous, caring, lovely lady! Patti has looked after my two children (currently 9 and 11 years old) for over 3 years. She has built up such an amazing relationship with them and they regard her a grandmother rather than a babysitter. She is kind, genuine, fun, and very dependable. My daughter says, 'She is the best babysitter ever'. She is always very interested in my kids' activities and welfare, how their week has been etc and has listened to my little girl playing french horn for hours and been very encouraging. She genuinely loves children and I can't think of a job that she would enjoy more than being a child care provider.

Patti has never let me down. I have been able to work in the evenings knowing that when I get home my kids will be happy and have been cared for like I care for them. She always arrives ahead of time and I know that if I'm delayed returning home there will be no problem, she'll always stay as long as necessary and is happy to do so.

If you're reading Patti's profile I would not hesitate in contacting her for babysitting. There really is no better person to do it.
