“We're so happy that we connected with Dawnn to care for our 16mo old daughter while we were at a wedding. She did a fabulous job with a challenging caregiving situation: it was the first time our daughter had done bedtime without us other than one dinner out when she was 5wks old, she was in an entirely new state, was in a hotel room without a separate bedroom, and our daughter usually contact naps and nurses to sleep at bedtime. We appreciated the cute video of dinnertime, heard great things back from the lobby staff about how much fun it looked like they were having together and came home to a soundly sleeping baby. When our daughter had woken up a little after initially falling asleep and was worried that we weren't there Dawnn did a great job comforting her, figuring out what she thought might help and reaching out to us for a quick call to reassure our daughter that she could go back to bed and we'd be home soon. Thanks Dawnn! You made this evening fun and easy for us :)”

"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."
