What parents say about our babysitters

Kristel is a real find. Enthusiastic, creative, very knowledgeable about early childhood development, reliable, on time, and loving. I am very grateful to you for putting us in touch with such a terrific young woman, especially given that our son is autistic. Kristel stepped right in like she had known our family forever and made our son feel well cared for and loved.

I was a skeptic about Parents in a Pinch. In fact, I had taken many days off from work rather than use services provided by Parents in a Pinch -- I didn't want to leave my child with a stranger. Now, I wish I had used the service much, much sooner. Courtney was terrific and the staff that helped arrange Courtney also terrific. Very professional and helpful. I will be using Parents in a Pinch again and would recommend to my friends and colleagues.

Jeanne was a dream. She definitely did provide me with peace of mind, and I am not an easy one in that respect! I asked her to come a second day, and would ask her to come again, definitely. The kids totally enjoyed their time with her and she was lovely to me, so reassuring. I can't thank you enough for your service. I have to say it just makes me nervous to call someone unknown "in a pinch" but everyone you have sent over (in particular Jeanne and Anne) has been so terrific.

Carrie arrived the first day with games to introduce to the kids. She sat with each of them to learn about their interests, etc. She was very engaging and the kids enjoyed her company a great deal. She had a keen sense of where the kids were and took her cues from them to keep them engaged. She interacted and played extremely well with the children, and they were sad to see her leave, and thrilled to see her return the next morning.

Meghan was wonderful with my children! My 4 year old wants her back again. Meghan was prompt, even with my early am request of 6:30am. She asked appropriate questions, washed her hands before holding the baby with out prompting, had my 14 month old sound asleep for a nap when I came home both days when she was here -- amazing! We'd LOVE to have her again!
Mother of three, nurse

My mom observed Lynne, and if Lynne impressed my 75 year old mom (who has 5 kids and 10 grandkids) then she is a great provider. Hooray Lynne!

What parents say about our nannies

We just wanted you to know how happy we are with Valerie. Our family could not ask for a better nanny. She is extremely patient, kind, fun, creative and reliable. She has taken the time for making our son home-made Puerto Rican rice, creating a daily log book of activities, and ensuring that he gets his bath. He is always wearing a smile with Valerie and lets us know in his own way that he is happy with her care. Thanks for recommending her to us. Father of one, regional sales representative

Ruth is so involved with our children and they love playing with her and spending time with her. She is warm, caring, and so much fun and our children certainly pick up on that. Ruth is responsible, trustworthy, loving, and kind. She always goes the extra mile with our children and her enthusiasm is present in everything that she does. We feel so fortunate and blessed to have Ruth in our lives!
Mother of two, resource specialist

I believe it is fair to say that we are delighted with Christine. The girls are always happy at the end of the day. All three, Christine, and the two girls are all smiling when I go to pick-up my daughter at the end of the day. A father couldn't ask for more in order to feel he is doing right for his child.

Everything has been wonderful with Bryna. The kids love her; she's becoming part of the family. Bryna spends a lot of time baking and creating artwork with my kids. She is extremely easy-going and comfortable to have in the home. We feel very fortunate to have her.
