Marg started with us when our daughter was just five weeks old. I was looking for someone nurturing and trustworthy to care for my baby while I caught up on sleep. My daughter had her days and nights reversed and I was exhausted. After the first phone call with Marg, I immediately felt that she would be a great fit and our experience with her these past five months has confirmed this to be true. Marg is kind and patient and daughter is very comfortable with her. 

Rain or shine, and even snow, Marg has taken my daughter for many walks in her stroller. After the first session with Marg, my daughter slept better that evening and things quickly improved. I credit much of this to Marg's assistance and guidance! She is very thoughtful, and often messages me with information on a variety of subjects or brings various resources with her. I have really appreciated this knowledge sharing as well as the care that Marg provided to my daughter and me these past few months!

Margaret has been an absolutely lovely addition to our parenting team. We have a 3 and 5 year old and she is thoughtful of their indivudal needs and interests and always goes above and beyond, from bringing bubbles to library books and french songs my kids have a blast, and are learning too! 

She’s incredibly easy to be around, and whether I’m working from home or taking a little personal time, it genuinely feels like we have another family member in the house. I cannot recommend her enough!
