Nanette is the best sitter we've ever had!! She is the only person outside of my family that I have felt 100% comfortable leaving my daughter with. She always knows what to do and you can tell that she's a great mom, which is very important in my opinion! Nanette also looks after our dog when we're out of town, and every time she comes to pick her up, our dog gets overly excited. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nanette to anyone!

We asked to watch our 11 week old baby for 4 days and it was a first time to leave our baby for somebody. Of course, we really worry about our baby but Nanette was just wonderful and amazing. When I saw her holding our baby, I totally felt her great energy and love in the baby. Our baby felt same way. We are so appreciative for all her kindness and feel very lucky to have found her. We absolutely recommend Nanette. Such a wonderful lady!

I met Nanette based on her excellent reviews. She MORE than lives up to them. She is accommodating, responsible, warm, and fun. After I met her, I told my husband, "I wish she were my mom." Ha ha! Nanette's two kids are super sweet, too - always a good sign. She has been watching my 2-y-o Henry for 3 months now, and he adores her. We feel very lucky to have her in our life.

Nanette did an outstanding job babysitting our daughter! Her professionalism and planning for our daughter's care were very impressive. I would not hesitate to call Nanette again if we needed a sitter for our child. With two children of her own, it was clear to us that Nanette would be well prepared to care for our toddler, and anticipate any potential needs our daughter would have under her supervision.

Nanette helped us for several weeks while we were visiting Southern California - she is an outstanding sitter and person! She was on-time, able to sit for us at a moment's notice, patient, kind, personable and went out of her way to make our daughter happy. She even loaned us a crawl and cruise musical jungle toy that her daughter Trinity outgrew, but was perfect for my little one who is one year younger. Her daughter Trinity is an absolute doll! She was such a wonderful friend for my daughter to play with (the most unselfish child I've ever known!) and a good influence as well. I highly recommend Nanette and would love for her to sit for us again if and when we return to California.

It's been a few weeks since Nanette was kind enough to watch my 5 year old son, Logan, so I could have a night out with my mom for her birthday. I wanted to stop by and give her a much deserved great review, because Logan absolutely loved her! He asked when he'll "get to be babysat" again because he liked her so much! :-) I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you, thank you!!!

Nanette is a wonderful person and an excellent babysitter! She has been watching my 2 children, ages 7 and 5, on a regular basis for 6 months. She is very responsible, great with the kids, very flexible and really just the perfect babysitter in every way. My kids love her and Trinity, who is wonderful company for them. Nanette puts a lot of effort and thought into making sure that the kids are safe and happy. I highly recommend her, she is truly wonderful!! Jill M.

HIRE THIS BABYSITTER! Nanette is fabulous. We flew to LA for a wedding and had to bring our baby with us since he was still nursing. You can imagine how we felt as parents needing to leave our baby with a 'stranger' while we attended the wedding and reception. Well, Nanette was amazing. She watched our baby in the hotel while we attended the rehearsal dinner and the wedding, then she accompanied us to the reception so I could nurse if needed. So we needed her for Friday night and most of the day Saturday, and she was on time for both. We communicated via e-mail for a few weeks before the event, and coming all the way from Maine I was really hoping she would show up, etc, and of course she did. Not only that, she brought her own personal bouncy chair and swing for our baby to use in the hotel! Amazing. Nanette goes above and beyond, and is extremely sweet, and most importantly is reliable and trustworthy. If we ever have to make the trek to LA again I would hire Nanette again without hesitation. Your children are in wonderful hands with Nanette!

Nanette was a wonderful sitter for my newborn. I had her sit for him at her house and a few times at my home while I was in and out. Her little girl is so well behaved she didn't have trouble at all managing the two of them, even though my baby is fussy and needs a fair amount of attention. I will definitely go to her again and recommend her to others.

Not only did my kids love her, she was on time, and she was available to me on extremely short notice, super with the kids, and a sweet woman in general. I highly recommend Nannette!
