If business or other obligations preclude you from spending the day with your children, we can help by providing your child with a mini tour or excursion throughout New York City and the boroughs, that is both educational and fun.

Indeed, our sitters are requested from as far as Australia and all over the world by parents planning trips to New York, and individual members of our staff have traveled with our clients on family vacations and other journeys to provide parents with reliable and caring assistance for their children.

Furthermore, many parents return to New York again and again with their children and request the same sitter (in order to provide continuity for parents and children) and are pleasantly surprised to find that we are able to accommodate them.

We carefully select, screen, and interview every member of our child care staff. Among the several references that we require, our candidates must provide character references and letters of recommendation from past employers. The majority of our staff are infant/child CPR certified (a requirement for our infant specialists). In addition, among our staff are caregivers with teaching, day care, or nursing backgrounds, and many have been with the agency for a period of 10 to 15 years or more. Each sitter is selected for qualities which will ensure the safety, health, comfort, and happiness of the infants and children under her care.

"Hillary is a lovely young woman and a very competent baby sitter. My daughter had never had a sitter whom she didn't know, and Hillary put her at ease immediately. She even saw to it that the homework got done! Thank you for providing such a lovely, competent young woman."
--Mrs. C. Thomas H.
