Our daughter was kinda snotty and having difficulty going down for the night so Taylor rocked her and soothed her until we got home. She also left a “report card” which was nice for a summary for the night. 5 stars all the way!

Deleted P

My girls loved Abbie!

Melissa S
Birmingham Parent

Very sweet but she was asleep when we got home. And she left a whole pizza and garlic bread leftover from dinner sitting out for three hours instead of popping it in the fridge. We had to throw it all away.

Elizabeth R
Birmingham Parent

Our older kids told us that while we were gone, Abbie FaceTimed a boy while sitting on the couch with our older two kids. They said that both Abbie and the boy said curse words. “Damn” was mentioned when we pressed on what words were used with the kids saying Abbie said “Damn, you look good!” We will not ask Abbie to babysit again.

JoAn L
Birmingham Parent
