“I have had an amazing time working with Smart Sitting as a Nanny. They helped me find my job quickly and have set me up with an incredible family. They've continued to give me communication and support throughout my employment, and the staff is incredibly kind and thorough! I feel so much more at ease as a Nanny having them on my team. Having their help with the intricacies of the job (tax help, wages, communication with the family, etc.) makes a huge difference. I love Smart Sitting!”
“Smart Sitting has been an absolute pleasure to work with. We recently moved and are expecting a new baby, and Smart Sitting helped us find an extraordinary local nanny who is able to meet our evolving needs. The Smart Sitting Team strikes a perfect balance of being both incredibly professional and also highly in-tune to the personal needs of their families. Very importantly, they are committed to COVID safety and matching families with wonderful sitters who are able to take similar precautions. We look forward to continuing our relationship with the Smart Sitting Team!”
“We had been through our share of nannies, and then we heard about Smart Sitting. Our current nanny of about 6+ months is through Smart Sitting and I cannot say enough about how incredible she is, and how our children love her tremendously. The peace of mind she gives our household is unlike anything we've experienced. She is hands on, has a million ideas of what to do with the kids, is 100% reliable and is overall a wonderful person. Such a great influence on our children and we enjoy her presence everyday. I am so grateful we found Smart Sitting, and only wish he had found it sooner. Thank you for the amazing and vital work that you do!”
