We had Jenna nanny for our 1 and 2.5 year old full time for a week before they started daycare and have used her as a sitter since then. She's fantastic; she's reliable, the kids love her, she comes up with fun things to do with them such as walks to the park, filling up the kiddie pool, play-doh, reading books etc. She prepared their snacks and lunch, kept up with the potty training schedule, put them down for naps. We highly recommend her as a nanny and sitter!

Robin is amazing. She's on time and always prepared. I wish we could keep her forever. Her word really is her bond. She cooked dinner every night for the family (evening babysitting), and she always brought crafts and activities to do with the children. I would hire her again in a second.

Reese has been babysitting my two children for the past five years, and I can’t recommend her enough. She is incredibly responsible, reliable, and great with kids. She’s taken my daughter and son to places like the pool, the art museum, and the park, always making sure they’re safe while keeping them engaged and having fun. My kids absolutely love spending time with her, and I always feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. Any family would be lucky to have her.
