Julia babysat our 2 young boys for months in the afternoons two days a week and occasionally on the weekends for a date night. Not only was Julia always reliable, communicative, and very attentive to the safety of our children, she was also so easy-going and my boys absolutely loved her! I still remember the first time we met Julia -- she rolled up her sleeves and just started playing with our sons right away, who were immediately drawn to her unlike any other babysitters. After she started sitting for us regularly, she and I would often chat as well when she arrived and the boys were still asleep and I genuinely looked forward to talking to her as she is so easy-going, has a good sense of humor, and doesn't get stressed out easily by watching my kids at all. My younger son even got fairly ill while I was on a business trip and Julia was helping to babysit and she cared for him incredibly well. I would give 10 stars if I could!
