"I have used this babysitters agency for over 8 years. In fact, I never have to vet or look for other sitters. Whenever I need a sitter, I call Laurie. Over the years she has sent me many of her sitters. They are always on time, professional, and often bring activities or games to play with my kids. I have given her number to countless friends, she is truly a lifesaver."

"Laurie baby sat for all three of my kids for years as well as for other friends.

She's known my kids from diapers to dorms and they always knew how much she cared for them. They loved her and I loved being confident in her care for them even when we went away they were in her care for an entire weekend."

"Excellent sitters! Fun, kind and reliable; my kids had a ball. You pay for what you get. Prices are very reasonable and I use these guys all the time. They have all kinds of sitters tailored to your needs. I have no particular favorite, they're all FANTASTIC!"
