Brianna is always early and has a great time with our almost 2 year old daughter.

Brianna is just terrific. She is responsible, reliable, prompt, and flexible. Most importantly, she is warm and loving, and our baby absolutely loves her. She started sitting for him when he was 2 mos. old, and she was from the very first wonderful with him, nurturing, great at calming fussiness, soothing, entertaining, reading to him, playing, everything. As first-time parents, we learned a lot from her about how to deal with a baby! Recommend her very highly.

Brianna watched our two children (3 yr old and 1 yr old) and was wonderful! She arrived early, followed all of our instructions, actively engaged both kids right away, and was able to put our two tired, cranky kids to bed without any problems! We look forward to having her sit for us again!

Brianna started watching our son when he was 1.5 yrs old. She was wonderful with him. She was always on time, very dependable and trust-worthy. She always did creative activities with him. SHe worked for us for about 2 yrs until her school schedule changed and she was no longer able to accommodate our schedule. Since then, we have used her as a back-up to our regular sitter. Still, our son is so excited, every time he hear she is coming. We now have a second child and Brianna is helping us out once a week while we find a permanent nanny. As always, Brianna, is great. We are so happy we can have her work with us and wish it could be more.

Brianna is a great sitter. We recently moved here from Texas and I was really scared to leave my 18 month old daughter with someone other than family, but after reading all Brianna's great reviews, and interviewing her my husband and I decided to use her. She was great! She was here on time and immediately started playing with our daughter to get her attention on her so we could finish getting ready. I really thought my daughter would cry when we left, because she normally does, but she did really good! Brianna played with her, and put her to bed. She was also able to stay later than I had originally asked her to which was great. I will definitely be using her again. I had a good time and new that my daughter was happy and safe! Thank you so much Brianna!

Brianna was hired to babysitt on July 15 from 9-4. We confirmed the evening before that she was planning to work for us. She never showed up and did not respond via telephone. While I understand if there is an emergency that comes up preventing someone from working, but just not showing up & no phone call is very unprofessional & immature. I missed a day of work & will not be calling her again.

Brianna was excellent with our baby girl! She was always on time and didn't mind staying later than expected a few days. She seemed genuinely interested in our daughter and wanted to play with her. We hope to have her babysit again some time soon!

Brianna stepped in to help out for a few days while our regular babysitter was home for the holidays. She was great - fit right in and seemed instantly comfortable with my 1 year old and 4 year old (and vice versa).

Brianna was great. She was on time and is obviously wonderful with children. We definitely look forward to her sitting for us and our 10 month old daugher again!

I enjoyed speaking on the phone with Brianna. We scheduled a face-to-face interview, and she never showed up. She didn't even call to cancel. I'm most disappointed because even if the nanny position wasn't the right fit, I thought she could be a potential sitter.

I really felt at ease leaving my two boys with Brianna. She jumped right in and was very engaging with them. They were so busy playing with her that they didn't have ANY separation anxiety! Will definitely use again soon!

Brianna is an absolute pleasure to work with. She's great with our 6 year old and our newborn. She's always prompt, professional and helps with all the things we need help with while she's taking care of the kids. And the kids love her too!

Brianna is a great babysitter. She is detail-oriented and was attentive to my 3 children. She found ways to make my life easier and was always very professional. Brianna treats kids very well and with respect. She is an asset to any family! - Melissa U.

Brianna was on time, energetic, and very comfortable with my nearly 2 year old son. I would recommend her and would ask her to sit for us again.

Brianna was great with our son, and she's completely reliable and dependable. I would use her again, as she is a natural with kids. She is a terrific babysitter!

We love Brianna. She comes every week to care for our 2 yr old son, and has so for over a year. She is very dependable, honest, and nurturing. Sage loves to be with her! We hope she stays with us for a long time! Katelyn
