Hi, My name is Yolanda Bates and I am college student. I enjoy children and as a college student I also need money. I have a lot of experience as a babysitter/caregiver. I worked at 2 daycares for 3 years and it was a wonderful experience. At the daycare I prepared meals, served meals, did paperwork, directed playtime and learning events with the children, cared for the babies, and I've also cleaned after hours.

We used Yolanda yesterday for the first time, and had a great experience with her. We look forward to using her again in a few weeks!!

From the bio Yolanda seemed to be a really good fit for our toddler. So we scheduled an interview with her and she rescheduled it twice. Then the 3rd time she did not show up at the time we had agreed upon. Our family waited for about an hour for her. We even tried calling and messaging her personal phone and till today she hasn’t replied back. One of the main characteristic of a baby sitter is to show up on time and unfortunately that did not happen with Yolanda. So we were very disappointed.

Yolanda helped me out and was able to babysit last minute after a different sitter cancelled on me. She is very friendly and easy to communicate with. She fed both boys lunch and dinner and had the house clean when we got home. Even my picky 5 year old who hates babysitters said she was “nice and fun”. I would definitely have Yolanda sit for us again.

Yolanda is very sweet, on time, and communicative. We came home to two sleeping kids and a cleaner house than when we left, no easy feat around here! We will definitely book Yolanda again.
