HEAR FROM OUR HAPPY FAMILIES

  • This was the first time leaving my newborn with a sitter and I was so nervous about it, but Marva was SO KIND and did an incredible job caring for him. She has such a calming demeanor and it was clear she was very experienced and reliable. She kept us updated while we were out and magically got my son to nap for 3+ hours. We were able to enjoy ourselves while we were out and not worry. Highly recommend!

    - Portia B.

  • We used babysitting services while on vacation in NYC in our hotel. Our babysitter, Ciara, was really excellent. She was kind and flexible with my son who was off his normal routine due to traveling. She brought some toys to help entertain him. I did not doubt that he was safe or well cared for while they were together.

    - Meghan C.

  • We had an excellent experience using The Babys Sitters’ Guild. They came prepared with games, activities, and crafts to keep the kids entertained for a full day. I would highly recommend their services.

    - Kirsten C.

  • Kristine and Tarah were so professional the entire wedding weekend and really helped with keeping the little ones entertained. They were a big help to have on hand during photos and other ceremony events. Would love to work with them again!

    -Alexis R.

  • “The hotel arranged for a babysitter via the Baby Sitters’ Guild. We were nervous about having someone we hadn’t personally pre-vetted stay with our daughter, but Layla rolled in like Mary Poppins from Queens, touting 15 years of full-time caretaker experience and a soothing touch that calmed our cranky baby within minutes.”
