It’s easier to get into Princeton than to become a Smart Sitting nanny.
“Working as a sitter with Smart Sitting has only been a joy. The agency is incredibly responsive and communicative. Not only do they take the time to make sure you’re paired with the perfect family for you, but they also ensure that the match continues to be successful through check ups. Smart Sitting provides the safest and most caring work environment!”
“All of our babysitters through Smart Sitting have been amazing. They are wonderful with our kids, incredibly responsible and all around great people. I was nervous about finding a babysitter prior to using Smart Sitting. However the engagement has been well worth the money, given the service provided, time saved, and access to sitters I wouldn’t have had without them.”
“We had been through our share of babysitters, 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!”
