Robin was wonderful to work with. She is great with kids and very flexible with her schedule. Our kids fell in love with her right away. She keeps a great routine for them and helps them with their learning. She is dependable and responsible and very communicative. She's an amazing asset to any family. Thanks Robin!!

Cory, it seems that you contacted me for back-up/on-call babysitting for 2 days, as I asked Sittercity Support to send me our communication, but the last I see is that I gave you my phone number, but don't believe I actually ever worked for you. As you gave no comments, would you be so kind as to remove your rating, please? This was 3 years ago.

We loved working with Robin! We needed a sitter last minute and she was happy to help us on short notice. She fit in to our family like a charm. She understood what our baby needed (probably better than we did), and was able to keep him happy, on schedule, and well cared for. We are very grateful for her help, and happy to recommend her.
Robin V.'s reply
Thank you for your kind words, Mike & Anna. Hope you're doing well. I am currently seeking a nanny/family assistant role (PT/FT), and I still do on-call care. Let me know if you need any help in the future. Hope 2026 is good for y'all!

Very friendly and kind. She clearly loves babies and was gentle with ours, and she was also willing to help out around the house when we needed it! We'll definitely be thinking of Robin the next time we need someone to help with, or babysit, our daughter!
Robin V.'s reply
Happy 2026, Monica. As I am currently looking for a PT/FT nanny/family assisting position, I was reviewing reviews and I wanted to thank you for your rating & recommendations. I still do on-call babysitting, so if you are ever in need, please don't hesitate to reach out. Would love to reintroduce myself to your daughter...now a preschooler!

Robin was great with our 1-year old! We had just moved from New York to California, and she was able to quickly help us get settled in while she took care of him. She cooked/prepared all his meals for him (introduced him to some new things!), took him to the park everyday and generally kept him entertained throughout the day, while my wife and I worked from home. She made up fun games for them to play with whatever toys/objects were available. She also took care of our 4-year old before/after daycare. Robin also has early childhood education training that allows her to engage proactively in age appropriate activities and games for your children. Strongly recommend her.
Robin V.'s reply
Hi Vignesh! - I hope you and your family are doing well. As I'm currently seeking a position as a nanny/family assistant, I now see your review and am appreciative of your kind words. If you are in need of on-call childcare (for date nights) or after school care, let me know. Blessings!

Robin was amazing. She watched my girls three afternoons while I was out of town, picking them up from school and helping with homework and keeping them safe and entertained until my husband came home. She was punctual, reliable, and truly resourceful during her time with them! I'd hire her again in a heartbeat and have started recommending her to friends for her organization services! Thanks Robin!
