I would love to cook for/with your children, I'm comfortable driving your car, taking mine and know my way around on public transportation, I love to get out and explore when we can and am interested in building long lasting relationships with your family.

I have amazing references that would love to talk with you.

Jamie responded quickly to my first message, and based on what she said I was very excited to meet her. I messaged her back and she didn't respond. I sent her one more message letting her know I was setting up times for interviews this week, and she told me she would call me on Sunday, but I haven't heard from her since. If you say you're interested in a job, and then decide you're not, just please let us moms know. It's difficult to find someone to entrust to our children. When we connect with you and don't hear from you, it's frustrating. Communication and being upfront are two very important qualities in someone who cares for children.

Jamie is a fabulous sitter! She really engaged my children while she was here and I know that for sure because my kids always ask if Jamie can come and sit for us again. She is also very professional, asked all of the right questions and I felt very secure leaving my children in her capable and caring hands. I would recommend her to anyone needing a sitter; she would be an excellent choice for a longer, more regular sitting job.

Jamie was terrific with our son. He typically starts to cry when he sees the sitter coming but this was the first time he did not cry. He had so much fun with Jamie that he kept asking for her to come back and play. We highly recommend Jamie.

My kids are not normally happy the night we have a sitter BUT that has all changed thanks to Jamie!! My son (4) asks if she can come play everyday. And my daughter (2) who is shy of her own shadow warmed up to Jamie immediately. No more tears!! I only see her smile with Jamie. We love Jamie.

Jamie has watched our 18 month old daughter several times, and she is incredible! She's very comfortable around small children, and is very interactive. I would highly recommend Jamie.

Jamie watched my 13 month old daughter last week (and will again this week!) and was really terrific with her. She sat for almost 6 hours and found lots of fun things to do around the house since it is still freezing outside. I would highly recommend Jamie to any family looking for a trustworthy, kind, fun, caring sitter who loves to be around kids. I am thrilled to have found someone like Jamie to watch my daughter...and as an added bonus, she lives right around the corner!

Jamie was great. She watched our two kids and they had a great time. She was very comfortable with her and she just jumped right in. I hate to give such a great review, she may be too busy for us in the future! BRY

Jamie sat for my 2 girls ages 1 and 3 last night for the first time and she was amazing! She even got the girls out of the house and walked to a local restaurant for dinner - the restaurant scene with toddlers is not an easy task for a parent let alone a new babysitter! My 3 year old has been talking about Jamie all day. She was extremly kind, outgoing, on-time and the house was spotless when we got home. Hope to be able to use her again!
