“Kaylee is a wonderful babysitter. I needed to find a last minute sitter for my 10 and 6 year old daughters. She offered to speak with me on the phone before hand. She played games with my kids and they had a great time. Kaylee was on time and I eager to get to know my kiddos. Kaylee followed all my instructions and kept me updated I look forward to having her back.”

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
