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.”

Nikes was amazing with my 3 months old! Very caring, attentive, and reliable. My baby was happy and well-looked-after the whole time. Highly recommend!

Léa est une SUPER baby-sitter. Elle a gardé nos deux enfants de nombreuses fois. Elle gère les activités et les tâches de la vie quotidienne 🧼🍴📚🛌🧹(sans parfois qu’on lui demande ahah). Nous (les enfants aussi) sommes tristes de son départ au Canada ! Je recommande à 100%

Sabin is a very responsible babysitter my daughter loves her. She plays with her, and educates her with her abc’s and 123’s. When it comes to nap times Sabin follows routine and also makes healthy meals when needed.

Cherry is amazing. Super gentle, super kind, so responsive. She has become part of our family and we can’t wait to have her help us out again in the future!
