Hi All at Care for Kids,
We had a fantastic experience with Megan from your agency last year. So much so that it was a big part of our decision to return to Beaver Creek again this year. Megan made it so easy for us as our kids looked forward more to their afternoons with her than to the actual skiing! Which made it very easy for us to enjoy our afternoons….guilt free!

Hi Ryan,
Ashley was great, my daughter was so upset she had to leave when I got back home.
Thanks and hope to use you guys again soon.
Stacey Kaufman
Hi Ryan, Leah was great with Brett!
Leah is VERY good with children and an extremely nice person. We wish she lived in Miami. We look forward to seeing her tonight,
Thank you,
Michael Woods
Ryan - Thank you for providing continued excellent service to our family. We can't thank you enough for providing Amber to care for our kids over the past several weeks. Amber treated our kids as her own and was absolutely amazing entertaining and caring for them. I highly, highly recommend Amber and we will use her and your service many times in the future.
Thanks again.
Barbara Aparicio
Thanks Ryan everything was great. We will be back in march, so I will be contacting you to make arrangements.
Alexander Reath
Ryan: Just a quick note to thank you for connecting us with Kate this past week in Vail. Kate is a phenominal sitter, with whom we left our 6 month old boy with her without any second thoughts. She was remarkably attentive to our son. She is very creative as far as the time she spent with him which refreshing. It was such a relief to have the same sitter the entire time (it was especially nice not to go over our sons routine everyday with a new sitter). We can't thank you enough for this service and for connecting us with Kate.
Runa Lundqvist
Thank you so much Brittany, you really made our vacation! We were two couples traveling to Vail Jan 14-18th with our children, Nora 10 months and Alex 12 months. Personally I have never had a babysitter for Nora before and was quite nervous leaving her for 5 hours (while we went skiing) each day, but Brittany did an absolutely fantastic job! She came to our hotelroom at "The Lodge at Vail" and babysat for 3 days and our kids loved her, that was obvious :-) The second day I was so relaxed in the slopes after the amazing job she had done the first day, Brittany is a keeper!
Thank you!
Christi Cashman
I just wanted to let you know that Megan was fantastic last week. Allison (our 7 month old) is just starting to be a bit leery of strangers, but she warmed up to Megan right away and never fussed at all when we left. It was so much easier to enjoy our time on the mountain when we knew she was in such good hands!
Gunnel Greenhagen
Ryan, This was a great babysitting experience. The attention to detail was terriffic. I cant thank Brittany ans Carrie enough for their loving care of our children.
We will be in touch, Thank you,
Jennifer Carter
Megan came today and kept our little girl Bradley and she was absolutely wonderful!!! Bradley loved her and did not even care if we left (which is very unusual) We really felt at ease all day knowing that she took to Megan so well.
Thanks so much for sending us Megan.
We hope Megan is here next time we come.
Thanks,
Kate O'Keefe
Just sending a quick note to thank you for all your help arranging a sitter for us this week. Carrie was fantastic, prompt and polite, and even brought some of her daughters' toys from home for Teddy to play with. We had a worry free morning on the mountain knowing Teddy was in very capable hands.
We'll definitely call you again.Thanks,
Linda Westerberg
Dear Ryan~ THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for providing such ABOVE AND BEYOND services! Our sitter Andrea was OUTSTANDING~ responsible, reliable, friendly personality, brought her own FUN games to play with the children (they now want a set of dominos) and just simply made us feel 110% comfortable with having her in charge while we went out for dinner. I LOVE Care4Kids! This is the second year we've used your services and without fail, you ALWAYS call back FAST with confirmation and informative information on the sitter and it is CLEAR that the sitters you hire have been thoroughly screened, love kids, and represent the company as if it were there own.
THANK YOU!
Laura Richards
Hi Ryan Thank you so much for sending Megan to look after Sam last week at The Charter in Beaver Creek(Feb '10). The smile on our 11mth old's face when she arrived each morning said it all. Her professionalism delivered in a relaxed and cheery manner instilled confidence and allowed us a guilt-free and fabulous vacation! We will definitely use Care4Kids (and hopefully Megan) next time we are in the area.
Walker Herbold
Thank you for your services this past weekend. Linda was excellent - one of the babies had a terrible cold and she kept my baby from getting it - which takes true talent!! She made the weekend truly worry free.
Thank you again,
Ashleigh Aitken
Ryan- Thank you for Johanna on such short notice. She was really sweet, and the baby really liked her.
Janelle
Brittany is the perfect sitter for our 15 month old. Our daughter adored her and was sad to see her go home. We can't wait to have her back!
Sean McDermott
Everything was perfect, our sitter was great.
Thank you
Kerry
Hi Ryan,I just wanted to let you know that Kate is terrific!
Thank you,
Gina Strano-Mizhen
Thanks again for supplying us with such great sitters and being so accommodating.
Karen Stemmle & Julian Brandon
Hi Ryan - we're back home in Toronto now, but I wanted to thank you for setting up the babysitting for us while we were in Vail at the Marriott last week. Our 6 year old (Sydney) really enjoyed both Alex and Rebecca. They arrived on time and brought games and toys to play with which was great! We will be back for the same event next year and if we're bringing kids along we'll be in touch.
Thank you,
Kristina OHare
My daughter had Amy looking after her at the Ritz Carlton Bachelor Gulch in february and what a wonderful time they enjoyed together in the sun and snow and how lovely for me to go and enjoy a day on the slopes knowing she is in safe happy hands.
A big thank you and best wishes to you all.
Brynn Rail
Just wanted to say thanks again for setting me up with such an awesome babysitter and for dealing with our child care issues from Boston while your wife was in labor - You were unbelievably professional and cool under pressure :) And Brittany is really fabulous - my daughter had a great week with her!
Anyway, congrats on the birth of your daughter and THANKS AGAIN!!
S.M.
Hi Ryan.I really want to thank you. It worked out really well with Kate. I know she is new with you guys but you guys always send us great people. She was really wonderful and totally clicked with the baby. Our friends could not believe how we just walked out without the baby crying or running after us. He was so happy to see her every time. She was so lovely.
Thanks so much. We'll talk to you soon.
Leigh L.
Dear Amy and Ryan,
I just wanted to thank you all for providing a wonderful babysitter to watch our two boys while we stayed at the Ritz Carlton at Bachelor Gulch last December. She was very sweet and arrived with a bag of toys and games to entertain the boys. We are planning another visit this December and will bringing another couple and their two boys. We definitely plan to use your company while we are there.
Thank you again for providing this wonderful service.
Dr. Doug and Eleanor Snyder
Hi Ryan,
Thanks again for caring for our son Samuel last week, when we were in Vail. Sammy seemed to have a great time with you, and we loved having time alone together to go horseback riding. We commented on your excellent care in a feedback e-mail to the Vail Plaza Hotel and Club, and we suggested that they have a link to Care 4 Kids on their web-site.
We would definitely use Care 4 Kids again in the future.
Erika
Hi Ryan,
Just to thank you for yesterday's sitters, Vanessa and Valentina! They were wonderful and very nice and polite!!! We had a great dinner and were able to relax knowing that our kids were being taken care of!
Thanks!!
Molly and Pat Cronin
We used your service last year (Dec 2007) and Maggie came for a several hours over the course of a few days and she was wonderful! She was knowledgeable, kind and patient with our three young children and my husband and I really relished our time skiing together. Maggie was very helpful, the children enjoyed her and we appreciated every minute she was there. Care 4 Kids made it very easy for us - we will use the service again!
Thanks Care 4 Kids!
B. Hoeve
Hi Ryan
Linda was fantastic! She's a great lady and she was soo helpful. You are incredibly blessed to have such great employees. We are two for two with you and have been very impressed with your service! I will certainly give you glowing reviews and referrals.
Thanks again and thank Linda for us too!
Marianna Vaidman Stone
I just wanted to say thanks again for arranging Tina for us this past week. She was truly phenomenal. The kids loved her, she was totally willing to accommodate our requests, and she was very proactive in terms of offering to do stuff both with the kids and around the condo (ie, doing the dishes and the like). She really made the vacation much better than it would have been otherwise. We appreciate your help! Also, thank you for finding us Megan in the last minute on the busy Saturday night of Presidents Weekend. I didn't have much contact with her, but the little ones seemed happy, and it allowed the adults to have a nice, relaxed dinner with the family! And, btw, for a final compliment: I was impressed that you provided Tina with the workbooks and crayons. We didn't happen to need them, but it's a great idea.
Jori
I just wanted to let you know how fantastic Charlotte, Elise, & Katie were! All 7 kids had a blast! It was even better for my family because they all worked at the same day care facility that we were taking our kids to during the day. My son, Zach, has terrible separation anxiety, but it wasn't as bad when he recognized the faces from the night before. I did hear that Kate caught the nasty stomach bug from our family. We feel terrible and hope she is on the mend and not out of commission to long. Please feel free to use any or part of this as a testimonial.
Thanks again!
P. Marshall
Just a quick follow up. The boys had a good time with Glenn last week. He took them ice skating and he was very organized and responsible.... he even came prepared with games to play.
Thanks for your assistance.
Emily & Eric Jones
Thank you so much for sending Linda to us this weekend! Our son Keller enjoyed his time so much with her and his face lit up when he saw her come to the house for a second day! She was confident and comfortable around us all immediately and it really put our minds at ease. It was also GREAT that we got the same sitter for the two consecutive days because Keller was so comfortable with her and we didn't have to explain anything by the 2nd day! We will definitely be in touch on our vacation next year!!
Thanks again, and a big thanks to Linda too!
Danielle Griffin
We wanted to THANK YOU for sending us a FABULOUS babysitter for my nephew while we were staying out at The Ritz Carlton Club in Bachelors Gulch. Angelina was great with AJ and he so adored her. We had no worries and it was a great experience, I would highly recommend your services to anyone and we will be back again next year and plan to use you again- especially Angelina if she is still around!!!!
Carrie B. NYC
Thank you so much for all of your help in ensuring a very relaxing visit in Vail. You were so flexible in accommodating our needs. Although we were quite worried when our sitter ended up ill, we were amazed at how quickly you managed to fill the void. And with a great replacement. And despite a snow storm that immobilized most of the area, your sitter trudged through and showed up on time and ready to go. The kids enjoyed all of the sitters so much so, they were hanging on them begging them not to go when it was time to leave.
Thanks again and we will certainly recommend your service to everyone.
L. Brooks
Just wanted to let you know that we loved Megan this past week. The kids had a great time with her and she was wonderful to be around. I hope that she is still in Vail next year.
Thank you !!
L. Harris
Hi Ryan,
We had a great experience with Linda last weekend. Thank you for sending her our way. She was great with our daughter! We will be back in Beaver Creek on May 8 and 9 for my sister-in-law's wedding. I am hoping that Linda might be available to help us again.
I hope that Linda is available.
Thanks so much for all your help!
K. Hull
Our family visited Beaver Creek in late June. Your company provided child care services for our Edward Jones company function. Our four kids range in age from 3-9 years old and we were thrilled with your services from start to finish. The kids were happy, entertained, and safe.. I especially wanted to mention Linda. All of the providers were great but I took a business card and kept her name to let you know how kind and fun she was with the kids. It was great to be able to enjoy the function with my husband, knowing the kids were in good hands. I do hope Edward Jones will use your company in the future and I am passing this email to our Regional Leader so he has our feedback.
Dorie & Saras Agarwal
Care 4 Kids was an exceptionally professional, flexible and responsible babysitting service. We greatly appreciated the courteous, warm and caring babysitter (Jody) as well as working with the owner. This was a special weekend for us coming in from NYC for a wedding, and the experience of knowing that our 14 mo daughter was well taken care of made all the difference. With appreciation,
Dr. Doug and Eleanor Snyder
Thanks again for caring for our son Samuel last week, when we were in Vail. Sammy seemed to have a great time with you, and we loved having time alone together to go horseback riding. We commented on your excellent care in a feedback e-mail to the Vail Plaza Hotel and Club, and we suggested that they have a link to Care 4 Kids on their web-site. We would definitely use Care 4 Kids again in the future.
It was a great experience and one that I will happily repeat upon returning to Vail or recommend to friends who are vacationing there as well.
Thanks so very much!
Pam Johnston
I'm just checking to make sure that everything with my credit card went through. You guys were fabulous and I love all the necklaces and bracelets we received from the kids. I received many compliments from many of the parents about the babysitting!
If you haven't run my credit card yet, or if you could run it again, I would like to give you guys a tip for your services of $80 to be split evenly with all the sitters.
Thanks again and let me know if it is possible to run my card again!
Yasmin McCarthy
Just wanted to thank you for coordinating babysitting services for my son Aidan McCarthy in August 2007. We were very pleased with Denise's child care services. She was very friendly, responsible and caring to our family.I would highly recommend her to other parents. Hope we can access your services in the future.
Melody Higgins
Ashley was wonderful. The kids loved her and had a great time. In fact, didn't want her to leave! My boss asked me to see if she'd stay longer than planned so I could join the group for dinner and Ashley was very generous with her time by allowing me to do that and staying an extra 3 hours. Of course, the kids were thrilled to get to spend more time with her. I guess they did almost 6 hours of swimming - what a trooper she was to hang in there with that (I had mentioned my kids are fish and I guess they proved that – so sorry for her!) She took them into town a couple of times and they absolutely had a blast (and slept fabulously that night.)
Anyhow, everything went great. The experience was perfect and I'll absolutely utilize your company's service again if/when I come back to Vail.Thanks so much for your assistance and getting us such a great babysitter.And please pass on my thanks to Ashley again as well.
Take care!
Laura Myres
A belated thank you to you and our sitter Marian Christen. She watched our son over Memorial Day weekend when we went to a wedding and we could not be happier. Our son loved her, was talking about her for days, and she put us right as ease. It was our first time using any service and I would not hesitate to do it again. Thank you to Marian, what a great job!
Heather and Mitch
We just want to thank you again for your help during our ski vacation in Vail. We were there with another family and a total of five kids.
Our entire experience with your service was terrific. Your husband Ryan was responsive and organized when we inquired about childcare. Amy, you and your staff provided a great experience for all the kids when you cared for them in the evening.
We are especially grateful for the care you gave Max, our five year old, on several of the afternoons which gave my husband and me the chance to ski together. We would not have been able to do this if Max hadn't eagerly looked forward to his time with you. It is really incredible that someone with your teaching background is available to care for kids.
Now, our vacations in Vail will always include using your great service. It really makes it possible to get some time together when the kids are enthusiastic about the chance to spend some time with you.
Gratefully yours.
C. Luwisch
We used your babysitting service during our January 2008 ski trip to Vail. I just wanted to tell you how great the person that you sent was and how much our son loved her! I was hesitant to use someone we had never met before, but she couldn't have been more wonderful. Our son, 4 years old, who doesn't like having a babysitter on vacation was having so much fun with her that he told my husband and I that he wanted to stay with her while we went to dinner. (The original plan was for him to go to dinner with us). We would use your service again and highly recommend it to anyone considering it! Thanks!
Thanks!
Lynn and Kevin Smith - nWest Chester, Pennsylvania
Although we never met, I just wanted you to know a few things. Prior to coming to Vail, your service was recommended by our hotel when we inquired about babysitting. You don't know this but, my husband and I are always a bit reluctant to hire sitters we do not know--I think most parents are. It is also always shocking to swallow the fee...gulp...that you pay to the sitters/services. One of the 'things' that I wanted you to know is...your service and your sitters were worth every penny. It was not only a great experience for us, but for our children too.
I was impressed that both Bianca and Molly showed up to watch my children at separate times and brought things for them to do...books, games, etc. The sitters also took an instant interest in my children which was comforting. I was duly impressed that one of them even took my 20 month old daughter for a walk to the close by library for story time and interaction with other children. The other had to deal with my daughter's very difficult sleep schedule and illness and pulled it off like a pro. This same sitter befriended my 5 year old son in a flash - not the easiest task. Both sitters interacted with my children much the same way that I do on a daily basis. It was a perfect fit and I felt confident in them immediately. My husband and I were relaxed leaving our children in their care.
It was a great experience and one that I will happily repeat upon returning to Vail or recommend to friends who are vacationing there as well.
Thanks so very much!
P.S. I was also impressed at the work done on your part, to find someone to watch my daughter last minute. It was the only day that I skied and it was ever so appreciated. Look forward to talking with you again next season.
Judy Keiser - Pine Crest Father’s Club | Ski Trip Planning Committee
My husband and I were the volunteer child care coordinators for the Kid’s Night Out run by the Pine Crest Father’s Club during our recent ski trip in Beaver Creek, Colorado. We contracted with Care 4 Kids, owned by Ryan and Amy Mahoney, to handle the evening’s care for approximately 45 children from ages 4 through 12. The event was held in The Charter Resort, the hotel we were staying in. The hotel made a meeting room available, as well as dinner and movie facilities. Between 6 and 10 pm, kids could be signed in and out by parents, and eat dinner, play games, make crafts, and watch a movie with each other while their parents had a night out.
The staff of Care 4 Kids was a delight to work with, both before the event and during that evening. Ryan and Amy were available by phone to discuss plans, and they were very flexible as far as what they could offer for the price negotiated. They were responsive to my suggestions and requests, and always polite and pleasant.
At the event itself, the great service continued: the caregivers showed up early, with plenty of supplies and games, and name tags for the kids. There were plenty of adults, creating a good adult-kid ratio. There were male caregivers as well as females. And they handled the kids well, splitting them into small groups to do various activities, offering other activities, moving the evening along smoothly, and handling the small conflicts that arose. Ryan and Amy both helped set up, and Ryan stayed for the evening, assuring us of personal service.
Thanks so very much!
I would heartily recommend Care 4 Kids to any group needing child care in Beaver Creek, and I certainly recommend that when my school group returns to Beaver Creek, we request Care 4 Kids to handle our group child care needs again.
Caroline Huebner
In mid-March my family and I were in Vail on vacation when I was suddenly hospitalized for an extremely serious condition. I was later transferred to Denver where I was hospitalized for more than a week.
When I was first hospitalized in Vail I believe my brother, Dr. Matthew Torrington, called your service to arrange for a sitter to be with my children so that my husband could be with me. My understanding is that Nicole Frey was the angel that you sent to us!
From what I am able to piece together from accounts of various family members who came into Vail to help my husband, Nicole was a savior. She cared for our children and helped to keep life as simple and normal as possible given a very difficult situation. Honestly, I will never be able to thank you, and Nicole, enough for what she did to help care for my family during a time when I wasn't available.
Fortunately, my husband was able to get my children back home to Chicago at the end of our "vacation" and I am on the road to recovery after a very scary situation.
I certainly will be in touch next year when we are out in Vail and we need a sitter.
Many thanks.
Tomas
Thanks for arranging Courtney to help me out the week before last. She was great and Daniel really enjoyed playing with her.
Cheers!
Matthew A. Torrington MD
Your service came through for our family in a huge way. When my sister suddenly suffered a life threatening illness and was hospitalized, Care 4 Kids was there. From over a thousand miles away, I was able to set up professional child care coverage for my sister within an hour of learning the news. The Care 4 Kids sitter not only was great with my niece and nephew, but she stayed the night and provided incredible support as my brother-in-law struggled with the biggest crisis in our family history. Care 4 Kids exceeded my expectations and provided amazing service when we needed it most. I would recommend Care 4 Kids without hesitation to anyone seeking high quality, professional child care.
Thanks Care 4 Kids. You rock!
Temple
I just wanted to thank you for arranging the two sitters for us while we were in Vail – they were both lovely and a big help. Apologies for the change in our plans and thanks for being so flexible!
All the best.
Amy Leap
Thank you for providing such a great caregiver to our little ones! My husband and I don't seem to have much adult together time with a 4 month old and an 18 month old. It was wonderful getting to ski together and know that are kids were happy and safe. Janna was a Godsend! Please thank her for us. We will be back in Vail in May and we look forward to using your services again.
Thank you so much.
Anne and Darren - Chicago
Thank you so much for arranging for Courtney to baby-sit for our two boys at the Ritz in Bachelor Gulch this past week. Both Gavin(4) and Griffen(2) loved her. We felt very secure leaving the boys in her care.
Donna and Clark
I wanted to tell you how much my husband and I appreciated the babysitters your service provided for us during our stay at Beaver Creek. When our babysitter backed out of our trip at the last minute we thought that our time skiing would be very limited. Not only did you come to our rescue, but the babysitters you sent us were wonderful. Natalie and Jamie(I can't recall last names) were so good with the kids and I even enjoyed getting to know them. They both were so mature and responsible. ( I think back when I was their age and can't believe I was that mature…most likely not!) Anyway, my husband and I were so impressed and wanted you to know that they were a fantastic representation of your company. If we could have figured a way to bring them home with us....we would have. We miss them already.
Thank you again for hiring great quality sitters. It sure makes it easier on the parents when we have to kiss our little ones goodbye for the evening.
Alex - Boston
Thank you for providing us with sitters for our recent stay at Beaver Creek. One particular sitter stands out -- Ryan Donelson. He was great with our three girls; creative, kind and willing to help. He's a great asset to your team, and we look forward to using him next season. Thanks again!
Ermot
We had Laureen as the first babysitter from your service and I wanted to tell you she was so fabulous. I really, really, really, really liked her. She did such a good job. I thought it would be nice to call and let you know how good she was. She was above and beyond what I ever expected which I love and actually need. We are regulars here and will definitely be calling you back. I look forward to using your service in the future.
Madelaine
Hope all is going well with you and your new little one. We have returned to NY after having such a great time in Vail. I just wanted to drop you a short email to say how fantastic the sitters were. Linda was amazing and very professional, she made us feel very comfortable with her right from the start. It's very clear she loves children and they love her! My husband and I were able to completely enjoy our time there with absolutely no concerns about whether Jack was in good hands or not.
Thanks for everything! Hope you guys are getting some rest :)
Maryl
Thanks!!! I cannot believe you are so organized from Boston! Seriously, you guys are miracle workers. I want to know every detail of the experience - birth, joy, exhaustion, tears, politics, etc!!
I will definitely be here in the summer. Can't wait to catch up then.
Bramsem
Amy was GREAT and did an excellent job. She was paid directly. Thank you for once again very good service.
J
Got the vmail re: tomorrow starting at 9:30 am. Awesome! I didn't want to call back this late as I wasn't sure if the phone would ring somewhere and bother you…
Bu
we're delighted, as always, with your amazing service. Thanks so much! Happy New Year (almost)!
Suzanne
Thanks for the invoice, looks good.
We were very pleased with everything, the parents really liked Bridget and so if they're happy, so am I! Thanks so much for all your help, hopefully we can work with you again when we have another group in your area.
Lisa Vallier
I just wanted to send you a note letting you know how much I appreciate your flexibility and patience during our recent stay in Vail. Keegan was phenomenal. She arrived with a bag of toys and my kids were immediately taken with her. She was very professional and wonderfully playful with the kids. It truly made my vacation to have a sitter I felt I could trust. If you ever need a reference please don't hesitate to call or e-mail me.
Heather Huffman
I just wanted to say thanks for the great service on the 8th. Everyone LOVED the sitters. They were wonderful.
Kate
Thanks for hooking us up last weekend. Jamie was fabulous. Just when I think we've had the best sitter ever, in comes another excellent one! Thank you also for the discount.
Thank you again for your help in arranging such great people to take care of the babies.
Nanci Tucker
Just a quick note to thank you for providing Courtney for my kids last week. She obviously is talented and caring and did a fabulous job playing with my 2 children and making us feel comfortable about leaving them in her care. We also had a great time fly-fishing!
We also appreciated your prompt response and follow-through on all the details. When in Beaver Creek, we will definitely call you again and/or recommend your company. Thanks again!
Mary and Karl - Colorado
We love Care 4 Kids! They accommodate us even when we come up with last minute plans. All the sitters have been very professional, responsible and friendly. Most of all, our 6 month old has liked everyone. I am reluctant to write this testimonial because we feel Care 4 Kids is our best kept secret.
Deanne - Englewood, Colorado
Hope was fabulous. Both boys loved her. She came on time and prepared to swim. She was just wonderful. I think it is important that I let you know how you and the people you are hiring are doing. Thanks for the babysitter and we will call you again next time we come to Vail.
Joseph (Attorney at Law) - Colorado
Care 4 Kids truly made our stay a relaxing one. As parents, our number one concern is our children. We ski with them in the morning, but they are always too tired to ski in the afternoon, so we need to drop them with a sitter so we can get out. We quickly realized that after leaving our kids with Care 4 Kids in the afternoon, we didn't worry about their well being, having found them again and again safe and in good spirits when we returned from the slopes.
Ed and Lori - Pennsylvania
How can we thank you for such a wonderful job on our vacation. The ability to be away and then have your kids happy when you leave was unbelievable. Not only do you run a professional and accountable organization but you truly cared about our kids. How many times do we have babysitters who watch TV when we leave? You were the opposite, taking the kids skiing and snowshoeing and always creating avenues of fun activities. No doubt our next trip you are our first call! We look forward in seeing you when we return!!
Dale
When seeking a sitter, we often call the best hotel in town and ask the concierge who he would recommend. Through this means we learned about Care 4 Kids. They provided a wonderful sitter for our children. What a treat to be able to call Care 4 Kids and get a high quality sitter that the kids just loved. She even brought a small project for them to complete together. Thanks Ryan!
Tom and Kim, (Four children ages 2 to 9 years old)
Just a note to let everyone know, that Care 4 Kids babysitting service is absolutely TERRIFIC!!! Our kids had a wonderful time. We felt very comfortable leaving our children in their care. We will definitely be using Care 4 Kids on our future trips to Colorado.
Jennifer and Doug
Thank you both so much for all of your help last weekend. We are incredibly impressed with you and your agency. Lisa was amazing....our girls miss her and her fun games already. She was friendly, responsive, punctual, and completely in control. We hope to keep in touch and return to Vail in the near future! Thank you again.
Brooke - Illinois
Greetings from Chicago. Just wanted you to know how much we enjoyed working with you and Sandy. We had a wonderful visit to Vail (as usual), and you and Sandy were an important part of our enjoyment. When we return to Vail this summer, we will certainly phone you for babysitting assistance!
Kristy
I wanted to drop an email and commend you on a great service that you provide. Last week, we were at the Ritz Carlton at Bachelors Gulch. Amy and Lisa sat with both my children and were excellent!!! My children loved them and I felt so secure leaving them alone with both Amy and Lisa.
Maria
I just wanted to let you know that my boss was thrilled with Katie. The girls really liked her and Bob and Lisa were very pleased with the service. I will definitely recommend you guys in the future. Thanks for being so great to work with.
Susan
Thank you for making this week happen for the two families!!!! You saved me this weekend and I really appreciate it.
Megan Healey
I wanted to thank you (belatedly) for your flexibility in moving around schedules so that my family could have the same sitter for the 5 days we were in Beaver Creek, and to compliment you on choosing such excellent people.
Blake was a wonderful addition to our family, and made the week so much more fun for all of us. He was superhumanly patient with my 14-month old daughter's separation anxiety, and made the time she spent at home while we were skiing so much fun for her. He was very gentle, and exceedingly calm, and Becca quickly warmed up to him (high praise indeed!).
My four-year old son, naturally, LOVED him, and Blake endured what I know from experience to be endless rounds of hide and seek with good grace.He was very flexible and cheerfully responsive to our often-changing plans, and so frequently came up with great solutions to keep one or the other of our kids busy and happy when we had run out of ideas that I lost count. He was truly a delight to have with us for the week, and helped make the vacation more fun, and more relaxing, that we could have hoped.
You re fortunate to have such a great guy, and we look forward to using your service again next year.
Brandy Hoeve
Brittany was fantastic! Thank you so much for your help.
Bride
I am so happy to know that there is a company like yours that I can highly recommend to my guests so they can enjoy the wedding reception without worry!
Leigh Lowrance
I just wanted to thank you all for providing a wonderful babysitter to watch our two boys while we stayed at the Ritz Carlton at Bachelor Gulch last December. She was very sweet and arrived with a bag of toys and games to entertain the boys. We are planning another visit this December and will bringing another couple and their two boys. We definitely plan to use your company while we are there. Thank you again for providing this wonderful service.

I am writing to tell you how pleased we were with your services. I was very leary at first with having a complete stranger babysit our children. We were vacationing in Beaver Creek with some friends and their children. Our babysitter sat for us twice. She sat for a 4 yr old, 5 yr old, 6 yr old and a two year old. Needless to say she had her hands. The kids loved her. She was prompt and extremely courteous. She was very interactive with children.
We will definitely use Care 4 Kids on our next trip.

Mr. and Mrs. Mahoney, I truly enjoyed being employed by Care 4 Kids during this winter season (2010). You matched me with families based on my personality traits that made me compatible with the children, it made this job even more fun! I found myself actually missing families once their vacations were over and they left the Vail Valley. Thank you again for such a wonderful experience, if I could I would be employed with you for longer.

This past season I worked for Care 4 Kids and have never been happier. Being employed by Ryan and Amy was not only wonderful but fun. They allowed me to work with families that I respected and really enjoyed. By being a full time babysitter I had the opportunity to learn new things each day and look forward to waking up and going to work. Thanks for an incredible season!

Ryan, I must say that I like working these "big jobs" and hope you land a bunch more! I especially enjoy meeting & working with all the great sitters you have working for you. Man, it seems that you have the cream of the crop, and the kids are fun too! As a mom, I would give you very high marks in many areas - especially with fun AND safety.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Kasey
Thank you so much for everything. I truly enjoyed working with you. I wish you all the best with your business this winter and for years to come. Also, my best regards to your baby! Hope all is well with that cutie.
I have all the release forms for you. Once again, thank you so much for the oppertunity. I had a blast and would recomend you to everyone I know... not only for sitting but for employment as well. YOU WERE GREAT!

I worked for Care for Kids this summer and it was a great experience. Ryan and Amy are flexible, prepared and organized. This is a great company for whom to work especially if you just want to work part time.

Ryan, Amy, Alex... what can I say? You guys are the best! I am really going to miss you! Leaving CO is one of the hardest things I will ever do - but the cause is right. A degree in Child Psychology has always been a dream of mine and now I am going after it... hopefully I will make it back to visit soon! I have always admired how you operate your business and believe someday I will own a business with principles inspired by yours. Thank you for all the opportunities you have given me over the past couple of years! I know we will keep in touch! To the families that I will miss on their return vacations… Maybe our paths will cross again someday. If you are in the Minneapolis area and need a sitter or nanny – Ryan knows how to reach me!

Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed working with Brittany and Linda Sunday night on our group job up in Cordillera. They are both sweethearts and I would love to work with either of them again. It was also fun working with you, Amy and Whitney on the group job at Manor Vail Sat. & Sun. mornings.

Dear Ryan and Amy,
I’m just dropping you a quick note to thank you for the service you provide. My team and I always know we can rely on your professionalism and flexibility to meet the needs of our members in an accommodating, friendly manner. I love that we can count on you answering our calls any time of day.
I’m also glad I had the chance to help you as a sitter. Your thorough training and interviewing process helped me be well prepared for the dynamics each family brings. I know how important customer service is to you, which helps me know our members will all be thrilled with the sitters you send.
You’re the best! Thanks again!

Hi Ryan and Amy,
Just a little message to say thank you again for everything. You were a pleasure to work for and I really enjoyed my time spent in Vail. I hope you have a wonderful and successful 2009 and hope to meet again in the near future!

It is with a mixture of deep sadness and great joy that I write you this email to inform you that I will be moving to Denver.
It has been a pleasure to work with you over the last few months, and the way you run your business and your successes are inspiring. Should something change for me, and I find myself in this area again, I would love to work with you again. And with your permission, I might put you on my reference list. Please keep in touch.
Thank you again, and wishing you both best of luck, happiness and prosperity in the future.

Thank you so much for letting me work for Care 4 Kids this winter break! You both are wonderful and I've enjoyed working with you and with all the kids! I look forward to working with you again soon! We'll be in touch!

This note is long overdue! I would like you both to know how pleased I am working for you at Care4kids. You both have been so kind to me and to the families I babysit for. You are both very professional, you are respectful of me and my schedule, and you are always very pleasant when we make arrangements for our clients. These qualities you have will go a long way. I've done lots and lots of babysitting in my years, but never have I been treated so well. I thank you both for who you are.
Maureen McDonald
I have been working for Care 4 Kids for two years and have never had a better, nicer boss in my life. Ryan and Amy are so caring and kind.

As a sitter for Care 4 Kids I was always impressed with the professionalism and organization with which everything 'behind the scenes' was handled. It really helps a sitter be at their best.
Nicole Frey
I’ve worked for several babysitting agencies and really enjoy the warmth and professionalism of Care 4 Kids. Ryan and Amy have given me the tools and knowledge to be a fun, effective and safe babysitter. By requiring a vigorous interview and training process and supplementing toys and learning games to take on jobs, Care 4 Kids ensures they’re giving their clients topnotch babysitters.
Allison
Thank you sooo much getting Saturday night covered for me. I studied a ton and was exhausted so was asleep by like 10! I just wanted to say thank you for being so flexible and supportive of all of your sitters. I am friends with people who work for other sitting companies in the valley and they seem to get a headache from their boss where as I really enjoy working for you. So just wanted to say thanks and I think you guys do a great job! Now... For this week I am not going to be available all week (I will be cramming for my test). Next week I will be in Denver until Sunday but will be back Sunday night. If that changes for some reason I will let you know. Have a great week!!
