“Lauren is THE BEST! This is my second time having her watch my baby girl. She arrives at great hours, and gives all the love, care, and attention to the baby girl. I am fully comfortable leaving on long vacations and entrusting her with the baby girl and being in my home with no surveillance. 1000/10 recommend!”

Although I got a talking to when I got home, Fish looks healthy and happy with no signs of stress. 10/10 would rebook again!”
