My wife and I have employed Kayla twice and honestly could not be happier. When we first interviewed her, she came by and immediately sat down with our 4 year old. They chatted for quite a while about what he liked and how he liked to play. When our now 6 month old got a little fussy, she picked him up. Keeping in mind, this was just an interview. We were so impressed with her that we called her back immediately after our second interview. She was the sitter for us. Each time she came to babysit, she brought something fun for her to do with our 4 year old. On both occasions throughout the day, she'd text us, letting us know how everything was going and let us know of any concerns if there were any. Kayla really goes above and beyond and earns every penny she charges. We couldn't be happier with our choice to hire her and she is always the first one we contact when my wife and I need a night out or have to go somewhere important.

Kayla was FANTASTIC! Very friendly and accommodating. We were traveling from California and she agreed to babysit for us for two nights. She came to our hotel and was on time each night. My kids absolutely adored her and have asked if they can have her babysit again the next time we visit the area. My kids were safe and sound with Kayla! I would highly recommend Kayla for any sitting service that you would need.
