WHY PARENTS PRAISE SITLY

How has a great sitter changed the lives of these families?

Olivia: “When Amber came over for an interview, she almost immediately started to play with Zoé and Noah.”
Rachel: “Anne always sends me photos so I know how things are going. I really like that.”
Sarah: ”Because Eliza babysits one evening a week, we have time for each other again.”
Ellen: “It’s nice that Hannah does the things with the kids that I can’t find the time to do.”
Heather: “Because Michaela picks up Jason from school, he no longer has to go to after-school care.”
