Alba was kind, communicative, and reliable. She took great care of our toddler during an overnight sit while he slept, and we felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. Would happily work with her again!

Alba is incredibly kind and patient with the kids! We had a tough toddler who was initially very grumpy and cold, and after a while Alba was able to get him to come out of his shell and play with her. She is prompt and really responsive in communicating. She jumped right in to help and be with the kids. Highly recommend!

We had a great experience with Alba! She was kind and followed all our directions with care. She was also very patient and understanding when we ran a bit behind, which we really appreciated. Would definitely recommend her!

Working with Alba was great. She communicated promptly leading up to our appointment, arrived a few minutes early, and was quick to establish rapport with our kids. She communicated via text throughout the evening and handled the kids' bedtime routine with ease. I would definitely work with her again and hope to do so in the future.

Alba was wonderful, kind and caring. She did a great job watching our two kids (3.5 year old and 20 months). My son loved playing with her and didn’t want her to leave. Would recommend

Alba did an excellent job. She was punctual, polite, and very responsive to our instructions, and seamlessly integrated into our boys' (28 months and 8 months) routine. She played with our toddler, who loved her, in English and Spanish. She didn't go anywhere near her phone, and we will gladly ask her to babysit again.

Our two kids immediately responded well to Alba, which was great to see. They all had a good time playing together and an orderly meal time. Happy to have found Alba as we needed overnight babysitting.

Alba was a great sitter for our two kids! She is also a very good communicator so we were all on the same page about when she should show up and how long she would be watching our kids for. My wife and I really appreciated that she took the time to do a video call with us prior to sitting for us so that we could get to know her a little bit. The kids really loved her. In fact, they got sad when it was time for her to leave. We will definitely be contacting Alba the next time that we need a sitter!

Alba was great with my two daughters (4 and 18 months) - they both warmed up to her right away! (which doesn't always happen!)
