Flossy is very sweet and gentle, always smiling. My daughter cry all the time when i have to leave but Flossy manage to calm her down very quickly! She always arrive on time and be patient with us as it is my first child and first time looking for a babysitter.
I definitely recommend flossy for babysitting as she has the very positive passionate energy with a responsible attitude! 🥰

Thanks for the lovely review Kristine, it’s been so lovely getting to know you and your daughter 🙂
We have had the pleasure of having Flossy as our babysitter, and she has truly been exceptional. From the onset, Flossy distinguished herself with her punctuality, always arriving on time for her appointments with us. Her dependability in this regard has been a significant comfort, knowing we can rely on her presence exactly when needed.
What truly sets Flossy apart, however, is her vibrant energy and remarkable adaptability. She possesses a rare blend of enthusiasm and patience, which resonates well with our children. We were very particular in our search for a babysitter who could understand and cater to the specific needs of our children, who come from a trauma background and have additional needs such as FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders) and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). Flossy has exceeded our expectations in this area.
Her approach is both gentle and effective, creating a safe and engaging environment for our children. It's evident that Flossy has a natural affinity for working with children who require that extra bit of care and attention, and her ability to connect with them on their level is truly admirable.
In summary, Flossy is not just a babysitter; she is a dedicated caregiver who brings out the best in our children. We cannot recommend her highly enough to any parent or guardian seeking a compassionate and skilled individual to care for their children, especially those with additional needs. Flossy is truly amazing.

Thank you for such a lovely review Josh! It has been such a pleasure getting to know your family.
Flossy babysat our two kids (ages 6 and 8) at least once a month when she was living up in York. The kids adored her, she was always smiley and friendly, and also coped with our two dogs around as well!
We would 100% recommend Flossy for babysitting and childcare.
