Laylah S. Care Companion in New York, NY 10069

We had an incredible experience with Laylah. She watched our two year old son while we were visiting for the week. It was our first time hiring a sitter so I was nervous but she made me feel at ease and the night couldn't have gone any smoother. I was amazed how quickly he warmed up to her and he didn't even mind when we had to say goodbye to leave. She took him out for dinner and a little adventuring nearby, sending updates and photos throughout the night. I could tell he was having a blast and we were able to enjoy our night out without worry. By the time we returned to the hotel room he was sleeping peacefully. When he woke up the next morning he kept talking about how much fun he had playing with Laylah! I am so grateful we connected with her and hope to connect with her again the next time our family is back for a visit.

Laylah cared for our 11 month-old daughter for one day when our regular nanny was unexpectedly unavailable. Laylah was easy to communicate with when trying to coordinate the scheduling. Throughout the day, Laylah was attentive and engaged in age-appropriate activities with our daughter. She followed instructions, made helpful suggestions and asked questions as appropriate. I would gladly hire her again!

Laylah watched our 8.5-month-old son last night, for the first time, and we could not be happier. She was on time, related well with our boy, had great instincts on how to handle our household. Highly recommend her! We will be using her again, absolutely.

We called Laylah in pinch to sit for our 7 month old. She was very attentive to our instructions, was punctual and reliable, and best of all our son loved her! Highly recommend, we will call her again for sure.

Laylah has watched our 21-month son numerous times over the past six months, and from the get-go, we felt completely secure and confident in her sitting. She engages our son fully, whether in the apartment playing or reading, or out and about, taking him to the park, for long walks, to feed the ducks, and on picnics. She is gentle, warm, loving, and patient, and I genuinely feel that she enjoys her time with him and has his best interest and development in mind. She sends photos and updates throughout the day and goes out of her way to keep our place tidy. She's also a fabulous cook and makes him healthful, tasty meals. I would unequivocally recommend Laylah for any job -- her competence, energy and caring temperament make her a real find in the world of childcare.

Laylah was a wonderful help to us when our nanny took a couple of days off. She was able to fluidly step in and adapt to the new situation with ease. Both of my daughters and my dog enjoyed spending time with her.

Laylah sat for my 9 year old boy. She was willing to come on short notice, was prompt, and my son had a great time. Laylah took my son to play soccer in a nearby park. When the ball rolled into the river, she actually arranged for a couple in a boat to bring it back! My son was duly impressed. Laylah kept communicating throughout the day regarding their whereabouts and what they were doing. Very responsible and highly recommended.

Similar to the other review, Layla babysat for my 10 month old daughter for 2 days while she was sick and couldn't go to her usual child care. Layla did a great job of comforting her and caring for her while she was feverish and obviously feeling quite ill on the first day. It was not an easy task, and Layla handled it well and with a great attitude. On the second day, when the baby was feeling better, Layla played with her and she seemed to have a great day. Very responsible and fun. I highly recommend her!

Laylah babysat for my sick ten-month-old daughter for three days. She was just the gentle touch that my baby needed, although I could tell that she also has a fun, playful side that would have come out more if my daughter had been up for it. She's also a mom's dream - responsive to texts and emails, sent me cute pictures of the baby, and picked up as she went along. Highly recommended.
