Saudiah is the best! Very energetic and positive, reliable and on time or early--even despite Chicago traffic :) She would help us out for impromptu date nights and was very comfortable with our infant daughter. We'll miss you Saudiah! Our family just moved to the West Coast, thanks for your help with Kate!

Saudiah watched our almost two-year old daughter and she was great! We had never used a babysitter outside the family before and we were nervous. She came over early to meet our daughter and they hit it off right away. She responded to my texts while my husband and i were out, got my little one in bed on time, and even picked up the apartment. She did a wonderful job!

Saudiah watches our 1 year old daughter and another 6 month baby 4 days per week and is amazing with both kids! She handles watching two babies effortlessly. We look forward to seeing Saudiah every day and our daughters face lights up when she arrives. We are very lucky to have found such a fun, reliable and trustworthy nanny for our families.

She's warm and friendly and my daughter loves her! Knows exactly what to do, made all of us feel comfortable, and even cleaned up when I didn't ask her too! Wish she could sit for us all of the time. Thanks, Saudiah!

I would give Saudiah 10 stars if I could. She is the kind of person that I want my kids to be around, as well as an excellent sitter. She has a big, beautiful smile that lights up the room and genuinely enjoys being around children. She can distract a tantrum and steer bad behavior in the right direction. She works with my son (22 mos) with his colors, numbers, abcs and more in a way that is natural and not forced. She is the only person outside of close family that I would trust to take our energetic son out on a busy downtown day. Saudiah has watched Elijah since he was about 12 mos, and I look forward to her caring for our future children as well!

We've had Saudiah babysit our son (7 mos.) a couple of times so far and couldn't be more pleased. In addition to clearly being a natural with kids, she's very professional.

We've had Saudiah as our evening occasional babysitter for a few months now and I am extremely happy with her. She is clearly very comfortable and very knowledgable when it comes to taking care of children and I have a lot of confidence in her ability. Our daughter is 16 months old and Saudiah has done a great job taking care of her when we go out. I would recommend her highly for kids of all ages.

Saudiah has been watching our two young children a few times a week for the last month. She has been very flexible with last minute changes and offered to work additional days and hours when something came up for us. She is professional and fits in with our family perfectly. We would highly recommend her. Jenny M

Saudiah is an excellent sitter! She has been caring for my daughters(4,&7) for the past 3 months. She is always propmt. She is very caring and nurturing towards our girls. She is very patient and understanding. She is very good at providing redirection to children when they act out. She has picked up the girls from daycare and transported them to our house, and on occasion to an outing. The girls are always excited to learn that Saudiah is coming to babysit. She will provide excellent care for your children.

We are very happy to have found Saudiah! She does a great job taking care of our three small children (ages 1,2,3). She's very mature and great at multitasking (essential when you're caring for three small children very close in age). Moreover, she always carefully follows my instructions and respects my wishes. At the end of the day,the children are happy, fed, in their pjs, and the house is in order, which is quite a feat!
