Parent Reviews

Yvonne was very helpful in finding the perfect sitter for us. Our son has epilepsy, and she was very reassuring that she could find the right person, with medical training even, to ensure our son got his medications and to ensure we felt comfortable leaving him with a stranger. We typically only leave our two boys with relatives, so this was a leap for us. But our sitter, Sharon, warmed up to our children and our friend's children instantly and all 4 kids really liked her.

Kristy was wonderful! Both our girls were happy and had a good time.

Courtney is very mature, confident, friendly, and prepared. Wish she lived in our hometown so we could use her all the time.

I wanted to reach out with a quick note to let you know how great our sitter, Megan was. We had the pleasure of having her sit for us two nights while we were on a getaway from the Scottsdale heat in Hermosa/Manhattan Beach last weekend. This was the first time we had used your service. As a new mom (our son Ty is 5-months-old), it's a little unnerving leaving your child with a stranger--especially while away from home. Megan couldn't have made us more comfortable. She endured my million questions (I'm a lawyer, so I ask a lot), communicated with us regularly while we were out, and was just a sweet person. In short, everything that we could have hoped for. After a successful first night, we had her back again to sit for us and another couple traveling with us after I assured the other mom (who is a physician and also getting used to leaving her 10-month old with sitters), of our positive experience. Megan handled all with ease. I couldn't have been more impressed--or relieved! I know Megan has other aspirations in Hollywood, and we wish her all the best, but in the meantime, you've certainly found a gem in her and as a representative of your service.

Peace of mind. You do not feel like you are bringing a 'complete stranger' into a hotel room to sit with your children. Knowing that applicants are screened in advance is a great asset. The entire transaction was very thorough and professional. Very much appreciated the contract from the follow-up phone call with confirmation of sitter and name. The email confirmation prior to her arriving. In addition, the sitter had a written contract to sign. Lastly, the follow up receipt and this survey. Some may think this is 'overkill' but there have been times when you book through a hotel or resort you just are not sure the sitter will show up. This was completely the opposite! Highly recommend this service!

Love the ease of making the reservation. Simple, straight-forward price where it is only an hourly fee. No extra or "hidden" additional costs. Greatly appreciate Yvonne making the reservation with the same sitter (Lauren) for the day where Lauren came in the morning for 4 hours then return to the hotel in the evening for another 4 hours. This really helped my 2year old adjust easily with Lauren. Just wanted to add that Lauren Crites is fantastic! My 2-year old can have stranger anxiety where if I'm not there, she would not want to stay with a sitter. Let me just say, my daughter immediately adjusted with Lauren. There were no tears. I was able to easily leave her in the hands of Lauren without any worry. Lauren is very calm, flexible, easy-going, extremely attentive to my 2 year-old and would even interact/play with my 5year old (he didn't feel left out) while at Camp Pelican. Thank you for making our visit enjoyable. Now I have a reason to return to the area again!
