Allan provided excellent care for our 7 month old daughter! He arrived on time and immediately engaged with her. He followed all instructions provided, and kept us updated when we called to check in. When my husband and I came home, it was clear our daughter was happy with Allan and had been well cared for. We look forward to having him babysit again.

We booked Allan for a one-off, half-day babysitting based largely on his outstanding reviews, and we were not disappointed! He's highly professional, but in a warm, easygoing way. Allan and our toddler had a terrific time together, playing indoors and exploring outdoors, and it was hard to separate them at the end! We won't hesitate to use his services again.

Allan’s genuine dedication to newborn care have been evident in every interaction. Our now 3 month old has always responded well to him, and he communicates proactively with us. We couldn't be happier.

Allan babysat our nine week old boy for about eight hours (late afternoon, in to the night). His pre & post babysitting communication was excellent, he was on time, showed good initiative and didn't seem too phased by a little screaming or throw ups. We would certainly use him again as the need arises.

We had Allan sit for our almost 3 year old son last week. He was punctual, friendly, and very engaging with our son. As I tried to kiss my son goodbye he told me I had to leave so he could play with Allan! We will be using Allan again and I recommend him highly.

Allan, was great with my 2 boys. They really liked having a male sitter. I would definitely recommend Allan as a sitter to anyone.

Allan is very professional and easy to get along with. He interacts very well with my sons aged 2 & 5. He was also very understanding when we ran late returning home =) We look forward to working with him again in the future.

Allan is a terrific babysitter! He has worked for us for over 6 months now on occasional weekends. Our boys, ages 3-1/2 yrs and 19 months (as of this writing) enjoy him very much. Allan is extremely reliable- a quality we REALLY appreciate.

Allan has sat for my energetic 3 year old boy and 1 year old girl a couple of times. He clicked w/ my son right away and interacted very well with both my kids! Allan is very responsive both in setting up a sitting date and letting you know afterwards how things went. I am definitely planning on engaging Allan's help in the future!
