As this was our first time using Sitter City I appreciate that she sent a text the day before just confirming the booking/arrival time. She arrived the next day right on time and was very quick to start playing with our 3 year old. We enjoyed getting updates and photos throughout the evening. She even brought some of her own toys and games for him to play with. Our son said he "had fun playing with Andrea and would like her to come again."

Andrea was wonderful to work with. She took great care of my kids and literally got down on the floor and played with them. She sent picture updates while with them and communicated promptly. She even helped me take the trash out and cleaned a few dishes in the sink without asking. My kids had so much fun with her!

My son had a great time with Andrea! She arrived on time and kept my son busy for hours. She also provided me with updates throughout the day. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her over again in the future.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Andrea B. take care of our children! From the moment she arrived, it was evident that she was not just a babysitter but a nurturing and responsible caregiver. Our 18-month-old son and 5-year-old daughter immediately warmed up to her. Andrea B. displayed a remarkable level of patience, which is essential when dealing with energetic little ones. She engaged our daughter in fun and educational activities, and our daughter couldn't stop talking about how much fun she had. For our son, who can be a bit shy, she created a comfortable and safe environment that allowed him to explore and play freely. One of the things we appreciated most was Andrea B.'s attention to detail. She ensured that our children had healthy snacks and followed our instructions regarding their routines and bedtime. We were pleasantly surprised to find the house even tidier than when we left! Communication with Andrea B. was seamless. She provided us with updates throughout the evening, which put our minds at ease and allowed us to enjoy our time out without worry. We wholeheartedly recommend Andrea B. to any parents seeking a caring and responsible babysitter. We genuinely believe that she has a natural gift for working with children, and our kids can't wait for her to come back. Thank you, Andrea B., for making our evening worry-free and fun-filled!

I was amazed on how my son was comfortable with her. As soon as she enter our home he ran straight to her, very unlikely for an autistic child. I was nervous because it was my first time leaving him with a sitter. But, Andrea kept me at ease by sending me videos and pictures of their interactions. I am grateful I got to meet her, I loved her personality and the way she cared for my son. Highly recommend her.

Andrea watched my 9 year old son and did a great job. She was accommodating and professional. My son had a blast and he himself told me to give her 5 stars :) Thank you Andrea!

Andrea is amazing! She plays with our energetic almost 4 year old non stop and he looks forward to her coming and is sad to see her leave. They play outside and she keeps him as active as he wants to be. You can tell she really genuinely enjoys what she does and really knows how to connect with kids. She’s very easy going, easy to work with and has been a tremendous help to us.

Andrea was wonderful with my 3 children. She really engages with them and does more than the average sitter. My daughter didn’t want her to leave. 10/10 would hire again

Andrea is very patient and caring with my children, always on time and highly flexible. She is one of the most reliable and flexible childcare providers I have had a pleasure to work with. Knowing that I can count on her in times of need gives me a piece of mind, and I really appreciate her dedication and commitment to meeting my childcare needs, even with a last-minute or short advance notice. I highly recommend her services!

Ms Andrea was great with my 12 year old daughter. They played board games and watched tv while I was out. She was relatable and professional.

On time, very polite. My kids ages are 6, 9, and 12 and each of them said she was great. She played with them, told jokes and they really enjoyed her babysitting them.

Andrea is a very proactive babysitter. She messaged ahead to find out about the kids then brought toys and activities along for them to enjoy. She arrived early and was quick to engage the kids and treat them like people. While we were on our date, she sent videos and pictures of the kids. When we got back, Andrea was out front keeping the baby calm and had gotten our oldest ready and put her to bed - she was sound asleep.

Andrea has watched my son twice now and does. A great job. She is on the floor playing with him, takes him outside with toys and on walks.

All three of my kids like Andrea. I was nervous at first because my 2 year old had never been left with a non family member, but it wasn't necessary because she had a great time. My son was especially happy because she helped him dig up some awesome worms!

Danielle M.

Andrea was great! Her genuine joy shows. Oscar had a great time with her: she engaged him and interacted with him the entire time. I felt safe leaving him with her, and she sent us pictures while we were away. We will definitely call her again. Thanks Andrea!

My boys just love ms. Andrea. She is great about getting to their level and playing while building skills like vocab, fine motor and even potty training. Don't know what we would have done with out her. All I have to tell my 3 year old is ms. Andrea is coming and he lights up. Great about asking how you want things done and very on top of any task. If she baby sits for you, you will be in luck, for she is the best.

Andrea is a great babysitter. I could tell right away that she was there for the kids. She would rather they be engaged in activities and board games instead of being glued to the TV all night. Would recommend her to anyone.

Adriane H.

Andrea was very easy to work with and open to my many interview questions. Our 19-month old was in great spirits when we arrived home. We will be working with her again and recommend her to anyone.

Andrea was a great babysitter! She was very good with our children and she was very fun and my kids loved her! She even did arts and crafts and taught them how to spell. We're definitely hiring her again.

Our son Marshal had lots of fun with Andrea! She brought board games and the like with her, which shows her dedication to taking care of children. He liked her a lot, and would love to have her be his babysitter again! I absolutely recommend her.

Andrea did a great job with my two high energy kids. She played games, read books, and had them clean up afterwards. She even came prepared with her own toys so the kids would be engaged for the night. My kids had a lot of fun and I will hire her next time for sure!

Andrea is not the type of babysitter who just watches your child. She interacts and even brings activities. My son was excited for her to come the second time she watched him.
