Kelly V.

Kelly has been and is currently our sitter of choice for the past 9 years! She started with us when my younger son was an infant and my oldest was a toddler. My kids loved her from the start. She was very engaging with them and kept them occupied by playing games or reading stories etc. She always made them feel safe and cared for. As a parent what I loved most, was at the end of the evening, we would get a full report of the nights event from Kelly. We could tell she really knew our kids. Kelly is hands down the most reliable, responsible and hard working babysitter I know! She never hesitated to reach out if there was a question or concern, but also was mature enough to handle situations on her own and totally appropriately. My husband and I trust her completely with our two sons and our dog which she pets sits for while we are away. We never worry when Kelly is with our kids or taking care of our dog and home. We feel truly blessed to have met Kelly many years ago and welcomed her into our lives. We really can't rave enough about the quality individual she is!

Kelly babysat for our 15 month old daughter about a month ago. We gave her instructions on how we care for, entertain and feed our daughter. We also went over basic instructions for bed time, but we were not specific on one item – that we do not let our child cry in her crib to fall asleep. When we got home, we were horrified to hear Kelly tell us that our daughter cried for close to an hour, until she fell asleep. We would have preferred that Kelly would have either called us for our advice or stayed with our daughter until she fell asleep. We made it very clear that she should call us if needed and left our phone numbers in clear sight. We don’t know how other parents raise their children, but we feel if a baby cries for an extended period of time, very simply, you should check on that child and not just sit leave her alone and ignore the noise.
