What families are saying about our match

“Thephanie was fantastic with Viv, kept us updated throughout the night, and was just lovely all around!”

— Natalie G.

“Very kind & helpful! She (Deanna) was open to suggestions which is comforting as a parent!”

— Benjamin B.

“This was my first time working with a sitter and Jonalee eased all my worries as soon as she walked through the door. She was professional, kind and knew exactly what to do to care for my one year old baby girl. I can tell she has a lot of experience caring for young babies as she expertly prepared meals, changed diapers and kept my daughter entertained. I highly recommend Jonalee and can’t wait to work with her again!”
