We live out of town, but Nicole sat for us a few times while we were in town, and she was wonderful with our son. She is a real natural with children, and our son loved her. Will definitely be calling her if we find ourselves in the area again!

Maatah does a great job with my twin 23 month old toddlers. She is reliable, patient, kind and consistent. She is very interactive with them, follows the schedule that I leave for them and also does an awesome job keeping me informed of how they are doing during the day while I'm away. Twins can be a handful so I'm grateful to have found her!

Hello my name is Taya , I’m 24 years old and I’m interested in being your sitter. I have 9 years experience with babysitting and child care ,which I was an after school sitter for several different families, for children from pre-school through the 7th grade. I have about 4 years experience working with children who have autism and/or a special disability. I babysit ages anywhere from infant to 13 years old. i have exactly 5 years experience with newborns-3 year olds. I absolutely love being around children and they LOVE being around me. They just bring absolute joy to my heart. I absolutely LOVE the outdoors. I am CPR certified ,I know basic Sign language and basic Spanish, I also have my own car and a clean driving record. I am very caring ,loving, trustworthy, patient and outgoing and love doing different activities that children will find entertaining and enjoy doing. Babysitting/nannying is something I love doing because everyday is something different and it’s absolutely amazing to be apart of a child’s learning and seeing them grow as a person. Families would describe me as someone with a pure heart & genuine intentions. Someone who is trustworthy & reliable & someone is is always in a positive mood. I became a caregiver because I love love love children. I absolutely adore them , they fill a special place in my heart and I love it. The love I have for children is out of this world and I’m more than happy that I make a HUGE POSITIVE impact on these children's lives. It means a lot to me !

Rosanna is a dream. She was our nanny for our two little ones for the last 3 years. She started with us when our oldest was 3 months old and was there when we had our 2nd baby. Rosanna has all the qualities you could hope for in a caregiver: gentle, patient, firm when needed, and deeply understanding of the delicate balance it takes to raise children. What stood out the most was how easy she was to work with. As first-time parents, navigating the challenges of raising children can be overwhelming but Rosanna consistently provided us with unwavering support. She listened carefully and adapted to our parenting style, and gave us the space to figure things out on our own without judgement. Her presence was a comfort and relief and her guidance was always encouraging. When we moved, her commute increased by nearly an extra hour each way. Despite this added challenge, she graciously continued working with us for 3 additional months to help transition our youngest before daycare began. Her dedication and commitment to our family during this time speaks volume about her character and work ethic. We are so grateful for the love, care, and professionalism she brought to her role. She has made an indelible mark on our family and we will always cherish the time she spent with us. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a nanny who is not only skilled and reliable but also kind-hearted and understanding.

Ms. Sheri is a Godsend. I hired her for a sitting job for a family BBQ. Not only did she and her daughter sit for the two children in attendance but also were a tremendous help with prepping for the party and assisted in the kitchen and grill during the party. I will hire her again without hesitation.

We had a great experience with Tenayie as our babysitter for our daughter. She was always punctual, professional, and easy to communicate with. Our daughter warmed up to her quickly and seemed very comfortable in her care. She was patient, attentive, and kept her engaged with fun activities while maintaining her routine. We always felt at ease knowing our daughter was safe and well cared for. We also appreciated her reliability for occasional and last-minute help. She was calm, dependable, and consistently showed great responsibility. We would definitely recommend Tenayie to other families and would happily hire her again without hesitation.

It is my pleasure to recommend Eri Stein as a babysitter or nanny. She has cared for my children many times, and she doesn’t just “watch” them—she joins in their world. My kids adore her. Whether playing at the park, learning a new card game, reading new books or inventing their own silly games together. Eri has a natural gift for making children feel seen, valued, and engaged. She keeps up with their energy, gets them laughing, and brings her joyful, positive presence every time. Eri is also attentive and thoughtful—she checks in about dietary needs and always ensures snacks and treats are safe and approved. As a parent, that care means so much. I know that when my children are with her, they are not only safe, but also having the best time. She is dependable, playful, caring, and full of life—the kind of person who makes kids excited for her next visit. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any family seeking a wonderful babysitter or nanny. Sincerely, Jasmine A. Dickerson
