About Lisa

Reviewed on 11/18/2014

Lisa has been taking care of our two sons, born in May 2011 and in July 2013, since June 2014. Our older son has Autism Spectrum Disorder and requires someone who is able to handle both his special needs and care for our younger son at the same time. Lisa is patient, loving, firm, and consistent, and has been great with both of our kids. Lisa's son has been a great playmate for my kids and we have loved having him in our home. She goes above and beyond to make sure that the kids are stimulated, engaged, and active. The TV is never on, she is always trying some kind of activity with them, like finger painting, coloring, going to the playground, or playing with play-doh. One of Lisa's greatest qualities is her calm and confident demeanor. My kids have really responded to that and it has made a huge difference in the feeling in our home. When I get home from work, my kids are calm and the house is in order, which means I can enjoy some quality time with my boys instead of cleaning up the house and calming them down. She has very successfully translated her professional experience as a classroom teacher to the way she interacts with our children, and we have loved having her in our home. When we hired Lisa in June 2014, we wanted to find someone we could see being with our family for a long time. Lisa absolutely fit the bill, and we had every intention of having her work with our family for at least a couple of years. However, our personal circumstances changed very unexpectedly. My husband s mother is coming to live with us, so we will not be able to have Lisa continue on with our family. I wholeheartedly recommend Lisa without reservation. She would be an incredible addition to any home, and any family would be lucky to have her. I would be more than happy to talk more about our experience with her.
