I am a mother of two (13 months and 2.5 years) from San Diego. A group of friends and I traveled to Big Bear for a long weekend and since we all have young children, but wanted to spend a day at the slopes, we started early weighing child care options. We started by googling pre schools in Big Bear and sending them an email asking them if they had any staff willing to come to our cabin and watch the kids so we could enjoy a day of skiing. We heard back from a few, but after exchanging emails Katie felt right. We were very pleased with our decision. She provided healthy meals and snacks. When we arrived at her house at 8am she was ready and waiting for us with a tidy house and warm welcome. She was tender with the kids and handled the nervous little ones like a professional. She texted updates and pictures throughout the day. And sent the big ones home with a bag of the crafts they had completed. And sent the little ones home with a report card saying their mood, their favorites thing of the day, their poos, meals and milk. I wish Katie would move to San Diego! We will definitely be calling her next year Or maybe once more this year (weather cooperating) read more
