Shaniqua has been awesome with my one year old twin girls so far. I love the way she interacts and plays with them. She's very attentive to their needs and happily follows all instructions I leave regarding their schedule or things they like. It's a pleasure having her as a babysitter.

Shaniqua a.k.a Ms. Nene has been watching our girls since they were 3 months and 3 years old. They are now 14 months and 4 years and our family has fallen in love with her. Extremely reliable and always readily available and flexible. The best sitter we have ever had.

I was skeptical about leaving my child with a total stranger but after meeting with Shaniqua she quickly changed my mind. I was very impressed with her after I interviewed her. She was very warm, professional, intelligent, and trustworthy. Anytime we need a sitter we will be sure to call her. I highly recommend her, I am sure you will be pleased with her services just as we were.

I cannot say enough good things about shaniqua! She is the first person we ever had watch our 3mo son, which is saying a lot about how much we trusted her from word go. She had 3 great references, who gave glowing recommendations. She is mature, responsible, professional and very very nice! We would continue to use her as our regular sitter if she weren't moving away..sniffle! You will be very very happy if you are lucky enough to have shaniqua watch your kids.

We are extremely pleased with the experience of having Shaniqua care for our toddler son! It was an absolute gift to be able to entrust her with babysitting him while his parents enjoyed some well-deserved couple time (to go to the movies or a concert). Found Shaniqua to be very responsible, and committed to doing her very best caring for our son. We wish her the best as she continues on her journey to finish up her last semester of college and we welcome her back ANYTIME.
