Myesha is great. She came by for a short sitting while my son was on his way to sleep. She asked specific questions and wanted to maintain the bedtime routine our son is used to. Friendly, professional and caring - I highly recommend her!

Myesha was awesome! She schlepped 20 miles on a rainy night and was wonderful with our 3.5 year old who's feeling a little cling lately. They had a dance party, read books, and when he got up and was teary because he missed me, she calmed him down and got him back to bed. 10/10 would book again. :)

Myesha was wonderful! Our nanny was out sick and I needed to find someone on short notice to care for my 15 month old and 3 month old. Not an easy task but Myesha handled it like a pro. My husband was working from home that day and said he could hear how much fun they were having. Myesha left a very detailed report at the end of the day, which I appreciated. She also left a ball and bubbles for my 15 month old which was so thoughtful. We will definitely be requesting Myesha in the future!

Myesha was great with my almost 2-year old, who typically has some separation anxiety whenever I leave. As soon as I booked Myesha, she reached out to introduce herself and ask if there was anything she should know before babysitting. She was punctual and positive, and my daughter was happily reading books with her when I arrived home. She left notes about what my daughter ate and the activities they did. I would happily book her again.

Myesha is a gem. I can not fathom anything that would overpower her shine. She thinks on her feet, creates things out of nothing, changes the trajectory of any "bad toddler day" with her infectious energy...I can not speak effusively enough about who she is as a person, let alone a caregiver.

We love Myesha! She’s always on time and very responsive. My son loves when she’s available to sit and they always have a great time.

Myesha did a great job with my daughter! She did a great job with slightly anxious child. I especially appreciated the written "report" she shared upon my return. After Myesha left, my daughter said, "Myesha was very fun and nice. I'd like her to babysit me again."

I could rave all day about Myesha. I already had booked her to take care of our two year-old, and then our seven year-old came down with the flu. If anything could have reversed his condition, it was Myesha, who came armed with various games and was a master at distracting him from how he felt. They played hangman, Uno, completed his homework...all her ideas. My two year-old, who is a big Myesha fan, was undoubtedly jealous that his brother was now in on the secret of how fun Myesha is. On top of all of this, she leaves detailed notes regarding how the sitting went. This is extremely helpful.

I was impressed! Myesha showed up with entertainment supplies for the girls...play-doh, stickers and bubbles. :) She did everything I asked her to take care of while I was out, and most importantly my girls felt comfortable with her and my oldest even asked her to come back. I will definitely reach out to Myesha again if she is available.

Although Myesha was on time and friendly I was very disappointed and sad about the care my 15mo received while I was away for a doctor’s appointment. I checked the nest cams in the house after 20 minutes to check on how my 15mo was doing. He recently he has experienced a bit of separation anxiety. Much to my surprise my son was sitting at the front door while Myesha was in the corner of the kitchen on her phone. I have no issue with phone usage let me be clear. My children do not need attention every minute of the day. However, I continued to check the nest cam afterwards about every 30 minutes thinking surely Myesha would be finished with her personal business. Every time I checked Myesha was not in engaged with my son whatsoever instead she was on the phone or eating. This is so upsetting as parent. I like to leave my children with a peace of mind that they are cared for and the sitter is engaged, but instead I was filled with anxiety and worry during my entire appointment. The last thing I’d wish or recommend for any other parents would to have a similar experience.

Myesha is a pro. Her laughter is infectious: I could hear my son giggling endlessly, even though I was upstairs in my office and they were playing outside. She has a magical way with kids.
