Patria is now my go-to sitter. She has a very clean house and had such a fun day planned out for my daughter. I have had nothing but negative experiences using Sittercity until I met Patria. My daughter loved her and I feel like she is honest and genuine and doing it because she truly enjoys kids. She even bought toys like cars and ball/net set and had play dough and legos on hand and took her out for ice cream. I couldn't have had a better experience.
