This was our first experience with a sitter and we were so impressed with the level of care Kayla provided. She was thoughtful in her interactions with the children. I would recommend her services to anyone. My children woke up asking for her to return again. We are thankful for Kayla and the chance to get away from home and relax. - Joshua

Olivia P.

Olivia was very responsible, had great time management, and very flexible. She always kept the kids entertained by coloring, playing outside, completing puzzles, and taking them to activities. My kids were always so excited for the days when Olivia would come and watch them. I would highly recommend Olivia if anyone is in need of a sitter! - Madison

Larrita B.

Larrita is the most hard-working person I have ever worked alongside. She is trustworthy and reliable, and she loves children. - Marvera
