Roger worked out great for childcare. When the sitter we found initially canceled last minute, he replied immediately and was easy to communicate with. He was great with our two boys ages 7 and 10. He took them swimming, fed them dinner, read them a story, and did bedtime. We highly recommend Roger. Thanks so much!

Aarin was fantastic! She had a really calming presence with my daughter and seemed caring but professional. When I got home the house was tidier than I left it and my daughter was all smiles. Aarin was really prompt and clear in all our scheduling communications, which I appreciated. Definitely recommend!

Anna B.

Hi everyone! I'm Anna, I've always loved caring for and educating children. I have my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. I grew up in a big family with 11 siblings and over 20 nieces and nephews!! So caring for children has been a natural part of my life. I've worked with kids of all ages, but most of my professional experience is with 12months to 5 years old. I student taught at Hill and Plain elementary for the preschool. I led activities ranging from story times, music, and movement, to various art and sensory projects. My focus was always pushing curiosity and of course giving them a safe space to do so! Some activities I really enjoy doing with children are getting outside and going to the playground and parks, the library, sensory play, teaching shapes/colors, arts and crafts, and how to navigate their big emotions. Outside of work I'm big into health/fitness, visiting friends and family, reading and trying new things like restaurants or hobbies!

We've had the pleasure of having Tricia as our babysitter for several months now and could not be happier with the level of care and dedication she brings to her role. She is an exceptional babysitter who checks all the boxes for what parents would look for when entrusting their children to someone else's care. Punctuality One of Tricia's standout qualities is her punctuality. She's consistently on time, often arriving a few minutes early to get a sense of any special instructions or needs for the day. Her timely arrivals and departures assure us that we can maintain our own schedules without any added stress. Politeness and Communication Tricia is incredibly polite and easy to communicate with. Her kind demeanor makes her approachable, and it's evident that she listens attentively when we discuss our children's needs or any particular instructions for the day. Moreover, she engages in meaningful conversations with our kids, helping them feel comfortable and heard. Kindness and Care Tricia's kindness shines through in every interaction. She not only looks after our children but genuinely cares for their well-being. Whether it's helping with homework, facilitating creative play, or even dealing with the occasional scraped knee or tantrum, Tricia handles every situation with compassion and a calming presence. Safety Conscious We are particularly impressed with Tricia's commitment to safety. She always ensures that our kids are safe, whether they're in the home, at the park, or participating in any other activities. It's a significant relief knowing our children are in such responsible hands. Final Thoughts Tricia is not just a babysitter; she has become an integral part of our family routine. Her politeness, punctuality, kindness, and commitment to our children's safety make her a standout choice for anyone looking for top-notch childcare. We couldn't be more grateful for her services and highly recommend her to any parent in need of reliable and compassionate childcare. We look forward to many more months (or even years!) of Tricia being a part of our family's life.

Miss Pauline has been caring for our two children, now ages 2 1/2 and 1, for about the last six months. She spends one or two mornings a week with them and her calm and loving demeanor with the kids has made it easy for me to get some much needed time on my own. Our 2 1/2 year old son is very high energy and loves to be active and outside and she does a great job of letting him run off energy in a safe way. Pauline also always brings an activity like coloring or a craft to keep him occupied and engaged. She's also very sweet with our daughter and does a great job of keeping her entertained with songs and books and, now that she's a little older, time to explore outside. Pauline has been a wonderful sitter for both of our kids, plus, she does a great job of picking up toys and tidying up the kitchen along the way (something I never asked that she do). Finally, the thing that makes me most comfortable with leaving our kids in her care is that our son, a very expressive little guy, is always very positive and excited about the mornings she comes over.
