Alyssa had done such a wonderful job with our 4 year old son! She was really thoughtful and took the time to meet us before the first time she watched him, making him so much more comfortable since he was already familiar with her before they were left alone. She has been incredibly engaged in playing with him while babysitting, from playing music, to drawing activities, reading books, and more. Our son is generally not very excited about having babysitters, but the next day he was asking when she could come back and asking us to do some of the same activities and games she did with him. I highly recommend Alyssa and would be happy to share more information with anyone interested in hiring Alyssa.
