It’s my pleasure to recommend Rose as a babysitter. She watched my 3 children (aged 4, 6 and 8) twice a week during fall 2020 and winter 2021. Rose came to us after my kids finished school and was always on time. If Rose had to change timing, she always let me know in advance. Rose always arrived at our home with a smile on. Due to her background in arts, Rose had great ideas for working with the kids. She also had experience working with kids who had special needs and used a gentle approach. She read to them, played with them and handled their behaviour appropriately. Rose developed rapport with the kids quickly and they looked forward to seeing her each week. We took the kids on outings and she encouraged them to be active. I would definitely recommend Rose to babysit anytime. She is an engaging, intelligent and capable babysitter. Your kids will enjoy spending time with her. Elissa Benjamin
