Kelly was great! We were in the Palm Springs area for a wedding and needed a sitter to watch 5 kids from 1:30 to 12am. Kids are from the ages of 3 to 7. Kelly brought a suitcase of age appropriate activities for the kids and the little girls were really excited for Kelly to paint their nails! Kelly of course made sure that this was ok beforehand :). While we were out, Kelly texted me a few updates and photos to let me know when the kids fell asleep and were doing well. I really felt that our kids were in great hands. Would definitely recommend Kelly and hope to see her again if/when we need a sitter in Palm Springs/Indio area!

Kelly is the closest version of a Palm Springs Mary Poppins that you can get! She was a great babysitter to our daughter Sofia. She bring so many toys to play, she instantly connect with our daughter, she have a great fun personality, she send us pictures, she was super responsable and I’m very thankful to her because my daughter had the best time meanwhile we were attending our friends wedding. The best!

Kelly was awesome! She babysat for a group of 5 kids from 3 families while we were staying in a rental house. She even brought pizza, popcorn and movies! All 5 kids were asleep by 11pm when we got back. All the kids loved her and wanted to go visit her the next day. Thanks.

Kelly watched my two sons (ages 8 and 5) for two nights, and was an absolute delight. She offered to bring a pizza for dinner the first night, and arrived with a movie and popcorn the second (after first checking with me to see if it would be OK.) The boys really liked her and felt comfortable with her, and she was incredible professional about communicating with me and arriving on time. Highly recommend!

Kelly has been amazing with my 5 year old and my little 5 pound dog. She always arrive on time or a little early which I appreciate a lot. Responds to me very fast and was a day-saver when I've asked her to come in a very short notice, she really saved the day and was on her way 10 minutes after I contacted her. My son loves her and says she is funny. She really took a big weight off my shoulder by doing his homework, feeding him and playing with him with his toys. Kelly is more of a nanny than just a babysitter. I will continue requesting her services without hesitation

Kelly took care of our toddler one night while we were on vacation in Palm Springs. She was great. She was very efficient and organized about getting a time set up, and even arrived early. Our son warmed to her in about 5 minutes (despite the fact that he was a little cranky from travel on the day that she came) and she quickly engaged him in lovely games. She must have done a great job feeding him dinner and putting him to bed because our early riser slept in the next morning. As a bonus, we arrived home to find that Kelly had cleaned the house. Thanks, Kelly, for your great work!

Kelly has be an impeccable babysitter for our 18-month-old. She is always punctual and very reliable. She needs very little input from us and our baby is excited to see her. We will definitely be using her again in the future.

I had Kelly as a sitter for a long evening on the 31st. We are all very pleased, she was very well and generously prepared for the evening with my grand-daughter, who is 11. Kelly is friendly, organized, and I also liked the way she always responded very quickly to txt or e-mail and our grandchild also had a lot of fun with her. Very nice, well done job and Kelly has a sweet and pleasant personality! Thank you! I would always recommend her.
