Victoria has been an amazing sitter for us. She connects really well with our child and he loves having her around.

Victoria did a great job with my 3 year old son and 7 week old daughter. I was initially nervous leaving 2 kids and such a small baby for the first time with a babysitter but once I spoke with Victoria on the phone and then met her in person, I felt very comfortable and confident she would do a good job, and she did. I could tell by the questions she asked me about the kids in order to be fully prepared for babysitting both kids that she had a ton of experience. My son had a great time with her! Highly recommend.

Victoria is incredibly professional. She came on time, followed our instruction, and provided a full debrief at the end of the night. Thank you for being great.

Victoria sat for my 5 month old daughter for about a week while I was in DC for a job, and she was just wonderful. She is incredibly calm, kind, patient and gentle. She has a beautiful energy about her - someone you are happy to have around, who puts you at ease very quickly. She was amazing with my daughter under some rather difficult circumstances - my daughter (who had been very easy about eating and napping at home) decided when I got to DC that she would no longer take a bottle - she only wanted to breastfeed. My work required me to be away from her for 10 hours at a time, sometimes more, and that made her one very hungry baby! I was so grateful for Victoria, who stayed calm and patient with my daughter during her hunger strike. Even though my daughter flat out refused, she calmly tried various methods to get food into her. Victoria even offered to bring her to me at work to nurse, so she could at least get one or two decent feedings per day which helped us immensely to get through the difficult days. (Just to be clear, my daughter refused to take a bottle from ANYONE while I was in DC. Not from me, or even my husband who visited for 2 days. So Victoria wasn't doing anything wrong!) Even though the feeding was an issue, I could tell my daughter felt happy and safe with Victoria. She would smile every morning when she saw her, and went quite happily into her arms when I left. So I knew Victoria was doing wonderfully. I was so grateful to have her level head and positive attitude during a very difficult time. If we lived in the same city I would hire her all the time!!! (PS - Victoria, guess what? The day after we got home, Carolina went back on the bottle, and hasn't had an issue with it since. I guess we will hold off on traveling for a while now! Thank you again for taking such good care of her!)

We hired Victoria to help us out while we were attending a wedding and my daughter needed to be watched up in the hotel room. Victoria was fantastic - she showed up early and was very professional. Even though we just met her that night for the job, we felt completely relieved to know she was upstairs with our daughter and it allowed us to enjoy my cousin's wedding. Thank you so much!

My husband and I went to a wedding on Aug 1 and needed a caregiver for about 9 hours. Victoria and I spoke and I was impressed with the other reviews given. She arrived and put me at ease as she is very professional and asks all the right questions. She immediately talked to my 4 month old and made her smile. During our time away, she updated us on the baby and let us know when she was put to bed. We felt good knowing Victoria was watching and caring for our little one at our home.

Victoria and our 6 yr old son had a great time together! He said she was very nice and he'd like to have her again as his sitter. That is the BEST review a parent can give, directly from the kid's mouth! Thank you, Victoria. Whitby family

Victoria watched our 11 month old son for date night. She is bubbly and friendly, and he took to her right away. She fed him dinner and a bottle and put him to bed no problem. We would definitely have her watch him again.

Victoria responded to a last minute overnight care! She did an amazing job, and my boys were extra happy! And my boys are not easy!

I have two boys ages 2 1/2 and 6 months. They are a handful, but Victoria made it look easy. She totally gave me peace of mind. And when I got home, everyone was happy and healthy. I would definitely recommend Victoria to anyone looking for an overnight sitter.

Victoria watched our two young boys ages 3 and 9 months during our Holiday Party. The party was in a hotel in Old Town and we stayed in the hotel, so she met us there. She was right on time as always and ready to hang out and have fun with the little guys. You can tell that Victoria truly loves children and has fun when she is babysitting. I could tell our boys did too! They loved her! Not only can you tell that she loves kids, but you can also tell how consciences she is which made my wife and I feel at ease. She is a very responsible, reliable and fun which is exactly what you want in trusting someone to watch your children. I would recommend her for any babysitting job and encourage anyone to pick her to watch your children.

We found Victoria on this site and she's a gems. She entertained our two children ages 4 and 9 so we could enjoy a holiday party. During her stay with the girls she sent us text message updates. This was a comfort to use as this was the first time that anyone other than family has cared for our children. Victoria is wonderful and we plan to use her again. Brandon

Victoria did an awesome job with my two boys. She arrived promptly, picked them up from the bus and daycare, made dinner and put them to bed... and somehow got them to stay in bed! She followed my instructions to a tee and cleaned up... the list goes on... and the kids loved her and want her back soon. Thanks Victoria!

If I had to choose one word for Victoria it would be (extremely) PROFESSIONAL. She is polished, well-spoken, mature, responsible, put together and impressive. When I needed coverage last minute, she worked with me on my schedule while making sure to meet her prior to commitments to others. And she is a natural with children. My kids took to her immediately. I highly recommend her!

Victoria was in a word - FABULOUS! My kids loved her right away. She was very attentive to the special instructions for getting the kids to bed. She sent me texts through the evening to let me know how things were going, something no other sitter has ever even offered to do. We came home to a quiet house with everyone asleep. The next morning one of my twins asked me where Victoria was; when I told her that she had gone home she was very distraught and when reassuring her that mommy & daddy were there, her response was: "I want my friend to come back and mommy & daddy to go away!" That's proof enough for me of what a wonderful sitter she is. We will definitely call her again.

Victoria sat for us for the first time a couple weeks ago. We couldn't have been more pleased with her. When she arrived we were still getting ready. She was very comfortable and jumped right in and began playing with our 2 y/o daughter and making her a plate for dinner with some food we'd just ordered. We felt very comfortable when we left. She texted us a couple updates throughout the evening - which we appreciated greatly. We are using her again this weekend.

I was impressed as all heck! She was kind and creative and provided my son with a variety of activities so he was never bored. He bonded to her right away. She kept me up to date through the day letting me know how things were going or to ask if something was permitted. Next time I'm in town, I'm calling Victoria! (I wish she lived here!)

Victoria baby-sat for us in a last-minute situation. She was on-time, and called to verify that her directions were correct. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable about infants and children. She has a daughter and I felt very safe leaving our 5-month old boy with her! She kept me up to date throughout the evening via text-message about how he was doing. I would highly recommend her!

Our kids adored spending time with Victoria. She was very thorough and professional, and made sure to spend time with each child as an individual. She was exceptionally well-versed in the needs of our son, who has ADHD and high functioning autism. We highly recommend her and the kids can't wait to see her again. Thanks Victoria!

Victoria was wonderful with our son, Roman. He liked her right away which put our minds as ease. She kept us updated on the evening via text which was greatly appreciated. Overall, she was very good and we were very pleased with her. We would definitely recommend her services and hope to have her watch our son again in the future.

Victoria has babysat my children several times now and has been excellent. She is reliable and shows up on time or early and the kids love her. She also helped me find a replacement one night when she came down with the flu. Thanks Victoria
