Vanessa is amazing and we could not be happier with the care she gives our daughter! Vanessa helps us with morning care and having her help each day has made the mornings so much easier. From the first conversation we had with Vanessa, she has been an excellent communicator, she is always on time and is so kind and loving with our daughter - it’s easy to tell she truly cares. She brings a positive attitude every day and is fun and playful with our daughter who gets so excited to see her. Vanessa is the first person outside our family who we trusted to watch our daughter, which was a little daunting at first, but she has been so incredible, it’s been such a relief. I would recommend Vanessa to anyone!!

Vanessa babysat for our daughter from when she was around 3.5 months old until we left New York City. Vanessa was an absolute joy and is incredible with infants. She has experience dealing with virtually ever issue that can come up (witching hour, bottle reluctance), and we felt absolutely confident leaving our daughter with Vanessa. Vanessa also readily learned the schedule and instructions we had for our daughter's care and followed everything precisely. Moreover, Vanessa is a true partner with any family she supports, and, when we asked, brought ideas to child care that we wouldn't have thought of. Vanessa brings a calm, soothing, but also playful, attitude to child care, and any family will be incredibly lucky to work with her - we miss her and wished that we still lived in New York City!

Vanessa was the first and best babysitter my daughter had. She followed all the instructions and also helped me introduce age-appropriate play. My daughter was always excited to see her. I highly recommend Vanessa!

Vanessa was a fantastic caregiver for our daughter from K through 6th grade. She was extremely professional and reliable. Vanessa was also very caring and interactive and provided excellent homework help. The only reason that we ceased working with Vanessa is because my daughter outgrew the need for a sitter after school. We miss Vanessa and highly recommend her.

Vanessa has been watching my oldest who is now 3 since 3 months old and my youngest who is now 2 since birth. She has been the greatest blessing in my life and theirs! Finding a sitter can be so stressful and even uncomfortable but from the moment we met Vanessa, she instantly became family. She spent time with both of my girls teaching them how to talk, walk, and explore. I trust her with my kids over anyone else. The bond she has with my girls is one of a kind. If you are looking for someone who will provide the most love AND safety to your babies, call Vanessa!
