Shelby E.

Shelby was wonderful. My girls (2 & 4) loved her. She ran to the store for me before arriving last minute because I needed something picked up and was still on time. She was an excellent communicator and followed all of my instructions for the kids, even took them swimming! I would definitely recommend her to others.

Shelby has all the qualities that you would seek in any employee. Responsive, easily reachable, punctual, alert, attentive, and energetic. We joined the site to find a list of short notice babysitters near our location. I sent out a batch of about 20 messages to nearby sitters who met our initial qualifications. Shelby responded first by a wide margin (about 14 hours). Since then she has answered every phone call and replied to every text within a minute. When she watched our kids, she was given a few hours notice and showed up 15 minutes early (perfect in my opinion). Her appearance and demeanor were exactly what you want from someone whom you are about to trust with your life (better be). Once we gave her the tour, we were as comfortable as we could have been leaving our babies with a stranger. (By the way, we have 2 boys, 18 months and 3 years old). She watched our kids for a few hours to include one meal. When we returned home there was no evidence to change our overwhelmingly positive opinion of her. At this point, Shelby will be our #1 sitter when she is available. In the case that she screws something up in the future that is unforgivable, I will update this review. Until then, spotless record. P.S. - If you have read this far, please don't call her- I want her available when I need her.
