My provider was taking an extended vacation when the kids were out of school which was stressing me at work. I was refereed to Beth by a coworker who said that she was extremely dependable and wonderful with her kids. I called Beth who was extremely helpful and guided me through the paperwork process since I was on an assistance program. The month my girls were there was terrific they made great friends, went grocery shopping, visited Balboa Park, the beach and made crafts that will cherished forever. When my regular provider returned we switched back because it was closer to home, but if location wasn’t an issue she would be#1 for sure! Beth interacts with the kids and at the end of the day she looks happily exhausted which is comforting because it’s how I feel on the weekend evening’s hahaha. One last note about Beth, I liked that she stays firm regardless of the situation, when the kids are finished eating they have to take their plates to the sink, and my girls were no exception. It’s easier to do things yourself (I'm guilty of this) than to stay firm with a defiant child and Beth did just that even knowing they were there temporary. It's the little things that count :)
