She hates children don't bring your kids here. I've rented her apartment upstairs and I have gone down and spent time with the children numerous times she scares and threatens them in cruel ways that can cause them serious mental damage. She yells at them and god forbid if you don't pay her on time she'll talk about it to every other parent who leaves there children with her. All she cares about is money please don't leave your children here.
