Wow, I am completely speechless of how amazing Marika is! I have to say she completely blew us away! My husband and I were traveling in our RV to New Orleans for a few days and needed to find someone to watch Thumper and Charlie while we explored. She was very flexible with our arrival dates and she took both our babies in with open arms! It was the first time I was going to leave my babies for a couple of days in a strange place and I was really worried but once I met Marika and talked to her and realized how amazing she was I couldn't help but feel much better. She is full of positive energy! She's also great at communicating and responding in a timely manner. I was completely in awe because even though she had already told me she would send pictures and texts it gave me a sense of peacefulness seeing how well they were being taken care of each day! She definitely surpassed my expectations. Marika definitely treated my babies as if they were part of her own family and we now have a new friend in her and her mom. I could not say enough good things about her! I am forever grateful for Marika and the amazing person she is! Thank you!!!!
