Heidi is a great sitter. She brings fun activities to do with the kids. She has been easy to contact and punctual. Highly recommend!

She never showed up. We agreed on the sit a day before the sit, she was communicative and it all looked good, but then she didn’t show up. We lost expensive tickets because of her.
Heidi K.'s reply
I asked this family for their number multiple times for confirmation and to do a telephone interview first. They gave me an address, but refused to give me their number. This was a very last minute booking they requested & nanny safety protocol is to always phone interview/voice verify before just showing up to an address. Please see 5-star ratings

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Heidi for two years as we employed her to help care for our two children, who were aged 2 and 6 at the time. Heidi worked with us on a full time during the week, and helped us tremendously as my husband and I gradually reintegrated back into the workforce out of the home after Covid. Heidi demonstrated creativity, intelligence, attention to detail, positivity, and love, and took excellent care of our children during the time she was employed by us. Heidi is a very caring person and has a natural gift with children. She especially worked one on one with my older child in developing her art skills. Heidi's dance and foreign language background is an additional asset that she has and what initially attracted my husband and I to her. Not many nannies have the additional artistic and educational background that she has. It was truly a joy to work with Heidi. Any family would be lucky to have her.
