“Lynette is a wonderful nanny! She has watched our baby several times in the past 6 months. She is a professional - she arrives on time, she is prepared - always asking the important questions about our baby's care. Most importantly, she is calm, caring, and safety-minded. Lynette also sends a helpful, detailed summary of her time with our baby after each time she cares for our baby. I highly recommend her!!”

“Lynette watched our toddler for several days when we were vacationing in Telluride. Her demeanor is calm, self-assured, and confident. She came totally prepared for the job, and was very professional. We appreciated her care and will use her again when we visit.”

“Lynette is reliable, thorough, overly qualified, and a genuinely kind person. She asked the best questions ahead of time, reviewed my answers with me when we first met, and then kept detailed notes of her time with our 5 month old each visit. She would text us reports after each shift. We felt incredibly comfortable and safe with our daughter in her care, and I have shared her contact information with several friends in the area. Do not hesitate to reach out to her!”

“So friendly so welcoming, very professional! She had a whole childcare report that she filled out for us while we were gone documenting everything that took place while we were gone including how much they ate, how long it took for them to fall asleep, bathroom usage! Very very thorough! This was unexpected and made me very confident in the care they received while I was gone! My children were instantly drawn to her and had no problem with us leaving when it came time when normally my son (18 months old) usually loses it!”

“Lynette cared for my 17-month old for several days while I was at conference in Telluride. She was extremely organized, a great communicator, very professional, and always on time. Most importantly, she took great care of our son and put in extra effort to engage him in a variety of activities over the course of our stay. I would highly recommend Lynette!”

“Lynette has watched our son from when he was ~3 months old and continues to watch him (he is 2.5 currently). She is very safety conscious (we live on the river) and does an amazing job looking after him. Our son loves hanging out with Lynette and she even connected us with another family in town who has a son just about the same age as our son who is also one of Lynette's "regulars." Lynette gives us a "report card" every time that she watches our son and is very good with special dietary needs.”

“Lynette was so wonderful with my 16 month old! She watched him for a week during the mornings while we skied. My baby absolutely loved her. She was very calming for him and she always entertained him. She had wonderful communication with me - she sent pictures throughout the day and would give a “report card” at the end of the day with the things they did, his diapers, and his naps. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”

“Lynette is amazing! She arrives with a bag full of activities and does her research about what activities are developmentally appropriate for our daughter. She provides detailed notes of the day. Most importantly I know my daughter is well cared for by Lynette and her kind, calm demeanor.”

“We had an absolutely amazing experience working with Lynette during our holiday weekend trip to Telluride! Our four-month-old daughter loved her immediately, and never missed anything re: feeding, naps, and playtime. Lynette is a true childcare professional: she learned our baby's schedule and came prepared to provide the best experience possible. She goes above and beyond - I think our daughter came back more relaxed from vacation than we did! Can't recommend Lynette enough, she's the best!”

“Lynette watched our 10 month old for 3 days during a holiday weekend. I can not recommend Lynette enough for her time with our son. She had amazing communication, our son loved Lynette, and she made sure that he was in the best case scenario the entire time she watched him. She made sure to follow our requests and kept our son on his normal schedule, while also getting him out the house to be outside. Our son had a low grade fever on the first day Lynette watched him and she took incredible care of him and kept us in the loop. We would be lucky to have Lynette hang with our son in the future.”

“Lynette is one of the most caring and intelligent care giver I have ever had around my children. We trust her completely, she was the first person we ever left our daughter with and would do it again!”

“Lynette is awesome. Very thorough, detailed and prepared. We knew mom was in great hands. Reliability was never even a question. If you know anybody in town, they’ll give you a positive reference for Lynette, everybody knows her and they all love her. We feel fortunate to have had her help this summer.”

“Our family has gone through quite a number of caregivers since my father's TBI in 2007. Many have come and gone over the years, but none have even come close to Lynette. She was the most caring, proactive, and detailed-orientated caregiver we have ever had. My sister got married in Telluride last weekend, and my mom hired Lynette to help with my dad while we enjoyed the wedding festivities. Lynette went above and beyond the entire weekend. Ahead of our arrival, she scouted the locations for the bathrooms of the places we were going to be visiting, made sure his portable oxygen was ready if necessary, made a playlist that she knew my dad would like, and always looked for tripping hazards, as my father is visually impaired. Lynette was always present, but in a way where she was discreetly in the background so my father did not feel as if he had a "babysitter." My dad was so comfortable with Lynette. She was very much aware of his abilities, as well as his limitations. People who attended the wedding thought Lynette was my father's permanent caregiver from Arizona. She was truly a gift. It has been 16 years since my mom has been able to be mentally present with our family because she knew that my dad was in the best hands. Lynette's professionalism and proactivity allowed my mom to enjoy the entire wedding weekend, which is the greatest gift she could have given my sister as a wedding present. The weekend would not have been as care/stress-free without Lynette. I thank her through and through and through for the care she provided to my father.”
