  "Our daughter had a great time with Leah, and didn’t want her to leave. Leah was enthusiastic, full of imagination, and our daughter enjoyed playing with her. We’re happy she is coming back tomorrow, and I’m sure our daughter would like to have her as a sitter in the future. "

  "Opal is great. We love how interactive she is with our son. She gets down and plays with him and engages him rather than sitting back and "watching" him. "

  Lindsay L.

  "We had a great first experience with Anneline. She sang lots of songs with my son, which he LOVED, and sent me a very detailed recap of the evening when he went to sleep. Also, the house was neat and tidy when I returned home which I appreciated. "

  "Jazell is terrific! Communicative, reliable, professional. My 3.5-year-old said, spontaneously at bedtime, that she'd had a "great day with Jazell!" "

  "Malia is a wonderful woman and babysitter. She's kind, punctual, present, even-keeled, rolls with the punches (I have 2 energetic young kids, ages 5 and 8), and she is genuinely a nice person. She paid immediate attention to our schedule and stayed on point with it. She is empathetic, reads to the kids, and is very fun. Pro tip: she knows an awful lot about Harry Potter's world and it's a beautiful thing! "

  "Lila always goes above and beyond what is asked of her. She is able to get my daughter engaged in all of the developmentally appropriate games and toys without me having to tell her....she is absolutely fantastic! "

  "Carmen was friendly and warm and my 13- and 6-year-old girls enjoyed having her babysit on our first night in New York. They talked and did some drawing and she helped them unpack. My 12-month-old is not used to being left with others, but I was reassured when I met Carmen that she would be ok. The apartment was very tidy when I arrived back, too. I would love to have Carmen baby sit again. "

  "This was my first time using a sitting service and I was a little apprehensive not having met Jazzy before and not having her meet the kids prior to sitting them. Jazzy was a super sitter for my 8-year-old twins. She kindly finished up their dinner time for me, oversaw their evening homework, and played and sang with them until bedtime. I know both children had a really fun time with her. The apartment was nice and tidy when we got home, Jazzy was still as bubbly as when she'd arrived, and we'd definitely use her and SmartSitting again. "

  "Brynn was great beyond all our expectations! She came on very short notice (less than 24 hours), and traveled all the way from Harlem to arrive at 7:30 AM, so that we could go to an appointment. She engaged with all 3 children for 7 full hours, keeping them so happy and entertained the whole time, they barely noticed we were gone. That was the longest we’ve had to be away from all our kids at once, and she really put us at ease and did what we thought was unthinkable! Thank you, Brynn! "

  "I was bit worried about booking a babysitter from a service because we’re an foreign family, and it was the first time for us to have a sitter. Since my 6-year-old boy asked me to have a male babysitter, l feel we were lucky that we could have Kevin for my son. From the very first contact, Kevin gave us the immediate and professional response. He was very attentive, too. The best thing for me was he really understood all our concerns and shared his experiences to soothe the mood. It gave me the confidence that I was dealing with a really professional organization. I believe Kevin, our sitter, is a very kind young man who genuinely enjoys a time with kids. My son had a great time with him as well. Thank you for SmartSitting!"

  "We've worked with Kayt a few times now and we love working with her! First, and most importantly, the children love when she comes and she provides a safe and fun environment for them. She's up for exploring the neighborhood and she always has the kids complete their chores- and the house is always tidy when we come back. Kayt is great! "

  "Emma and LaRon recently worked together with the kids on a Halloween project one evening. Emma kept me updated with photos! I have been feeling so out of the loop being out of the house and I loved how she kept me updated with their special project. The kids seem to really love them both!"

  "We are absolutely thrilled to have Raegan continue with us into the next school year. She has been so wonderful -- dependable, thoughtful, kind, fun, responsive, and punctual. She has a lovely relationship with our daughter and it will be so great for them to get to spend more time together. Thank you so much for finding her for us!"

  "We didn't think it was possible to find as a good of a fit as we had with our son's previous SmartSitter, but every time Sydney cares for him we realize we did. She is wonderful with him and truly cares about his development and feelings. She also does little extra things to help us out that I keep discovering like refolding one of his dresser drawers or organizing his toys better. She never leaves his dishes in the sink and helps us out when we are rushed in the morning and can't get to all of ours. She takes him on thoughtful outings and never rushes out the door when I get home. She always sends pictures and takes time to tell me about their day. She is quickly becoming part of our family and I could tell our son really missed her when she went out of town. She is so warm, professional, smart, and caring. She is never on her phone and so careful about our son's safety. She's the best!"

  "She arrived on time and was wonderful with our daughter. She asked us throughout the day if there were other things she could do and even volunteered to take her to a local class."

  Carolyn S.

  "Emily was wonderful! She was prompt, kind & understood what I needed quickly. She engaged my 8 month old daughter constantly, reading to her, having her play with toys, reaching and giving her ample tummy time. It was smooth sailing. I would hire her again in a heartbeat."

  "Maggie is wonderful: kind, smart, funny, and always a pleasure to have in our home. She has such an easy way of engaging with our girls. Our 3 and 5 year old rarely agree on anything but both love her so. We love Maggie!"

  "Katie was awesome! She quickly bonded with our son and he was all giggles and smiles when we left. We had a great experience with Katie. We were very appreciative to have a sitter on NYE, which can be tough. Thank you, all!"

  Jocelyn D.

  "Sarah is amazing. My kids adore her! My daughter asked me to leave as soon as Sarah came because she was so excited to play with her. On top of that, she always does the kids laundry and folds all of it. Amazing!"

  "Shayla was absolutely wonderful! We had flown into NYC for a client dinner and needed someone to watch the kids for the night. Having no close contacts, friends or relatives in the city, we were quite nervous about leaving our toddler and 8-year-old son with a stranger. All of those nerves went away when Shayla arrived smiling, and on time, at our hotel. She immediately engaged with the kids on their level and put us at ease. She was gracious enough to stay back due our dinner running late. When we returned, our demanding toddler was fed and fast asleep, in a fresh diaper. Our son had a wonderful time. "
