“I cannot say enough good things about Smart Sitting! As a working actor, I appreciate their flexibility and support to help me find reliable work, both short-term and long-term. My industry has shut down due to the pandemic, and I’m grateful to have safe, consistent work through Smart Sitting during this time. They match nannies with families in a caring, thoughtful manner, truly taking the time to make sure both parties are satisfied. I know I can also come to the fantastic team with any concerns.”
