“Stephanie has babysat my 22months old daughter twice so far and we plan to continue hiring her. She was the first person besides family ever babysat my daughter and we were very impressed how she quickly was able to earn her trust over. She played with her, sent us photo updates while my husband and I were out on our date, fed her and cleaned up. My daughter had a great time and gave her two big hugs before she left. Besides being a great and responsible babysitter, her personal story is also an inspiration. Highly recommended Stephanie!”

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"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."
