Alicia was wonderful with my two young children. She was very professional and I felt totally comfortable leaving my kids in her care. She even sent me a courtesy text during the evening letting me know that everyone was happy and that everything was going great. I will definitely call again next time. Thank you!

Alicia was our babysitter for a week night event that ran until after midnight. She was great at listening to what we needed and I was pleased to see she carried around the notes and phone numbers we had given her as she and my son went upstairs to play after dinner. She gave us constant updates in regards to her arrival time as well as letting us know when our son had gone to bed. She has a warm personality that works well with kids and when my son asked me the next day if Alicia could come and play again with him I knew I had found a winner. We will definitely be calling her again.

Alicia watched our children for us to go to a neighborhood party and she was great. She texted to let me know she was on the way, showed up on time, immediately provided her certifications and was very polite and sweet. Our children got along great with her and gave her glowing reviews the next day. We will definitely reach out to her again!

My job was pretty easy because both kids were asleep the whole time but I felt very secure leaving them in Alicia's hands. She was very professional and friendly. Her communication was strong; she asked for information before the visit, texted me to let me know that she was on the way, and sent a text update while we were out.

Alicia was our babysitter for a date night so my wife and I could go out and celebrate her birthday! Alicia was very good, listened to the things we wanted in a babysitter, was very safe and loved the kids! She was very good when our 2 littlest ones woke up in the middle of the night quickly and easily getting them back to sleep and figuring out and correcting what was waking them up! She's an awesome person and an incredible babysitter! We will definitely be in contact with her for future babysitting!

We recently hired Alicia to watch our three kids. She was wonderful!! She has great communication skills, is friendly, and our kids love her. We will definitely use her again when we are in the Durham area. Highly Recommended!

Despite my kids fighting bedtime, they were in bed when I got back a little later than anticipated. Alicia was great.

We hired Alicia to watch our teething, separation-anxiety, sleepy 18 month old girl. Despite what was probably a very long night, our girl ate and was happily sleeping when we got back. She kept us updated and did an incredible job. We will definitely hire her again when we are back in town! Thank you for taking good care of our girl!
