Julia is super sweet and great with the kids. She jumped right in to help them out with their routines and both the preschooler (3) and the baby (8 mos) loved her. We'll definitely use her for future date nights!

Julia is wonderful with our toddler and is very friendly. She shows up on time and sends updates throughout the time she’s watching our son. She gets on the floor right away to play with him and you can tell she genuinely likes kids and cares for them. We are so happy we found Julia and she has been able to care for our son!

We love working with Julia. She is dependable, communicative, and, most importantly, so great with our kids (aged 20 mo.). Julia is a natural with small kids, and ours warmed up to her super fast. She goes above and beyond, and is exceptionally kind.

Julia was awesome! Our normally hesitant 11 month old took to her right away on first meeting. This allowed for my wife and I to enjoy our evening without worry. Highly recommend Julia with young children!

We had the pleasure of having Julia as our babysitter for the first time, and we couldn't be happier with her exceptional care. Leaving our kids with a babysitter for the first time made us anxious, but Julia quickly put our minds at ease. Our 4-month-old needed help going to sleep, and our very shy 2-year-old woke up shortly after we left for our date night. Julia handled everything with grace and professionalism. Our kiddo doesn’t warm up to everyone but Julia was magical and quickly soothed him and got him back to sleep! Julia's ability to comfort our children and ensure their well-being exceeded our expectations. What truly impressed us was her thoughtfulness in straightening up our family room and kitchen, going above and beyond her babysitting duties. We are immensely grateful to have found Julia, as she made our first babysitting experience a smooth and reassuring one. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any parents seeking a reliable and caring babysitter. Thank you, Julia, for your outstanding care and support!

Julia is super sweet and patient. My daughter absolutely loved her. She's also great with communication and is very diligent with snack times and considerate when it comes to making sure that your child's allergies are accounted for. Highly highly recommend her!

Julia is amazing with our 15 month old. She has a very caring and relaxed attitude. She's also very creative and great with playing with our baby. She kept him entertained for hours and not a tantrum in sight! She's very punctual and capable and I feel very fortunate to have found her. Don't hesitate to hire her!

Julia is super sweet and caring. She genuinely loves the kids and families she cares for. I am so fortunate she replied to my post and is providing her nannying services to my family. My girls love her and had a amazing time when she babysat for our official first date night. My 4 year old can’t stop talking about Julia and how much she wants Julia to come back. I found Julia to be very safe, gentle and organized and I will definitely continue to hire her for our date night needs and more :)
