“Lili watched our two year old for just under four months and helped with our newborn occasionally while I was on maternity leave. She was great with our two year old and he loved the time he spent with her. She was caring, patient, and great at handling the big emotions that can come with being two years old. It was very evident that she has experience in childcare and she was good at keeping our son entertained with activities and following his schedule. We would recommend her without reservation to any family considering hiring her and would hire her again ourselves. ”

"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."
