WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING:
On Sittercity.com, we found an intelligent, trustworthy, engaging young woman (an Early Childhood Education major) who taught our two year-old son to write the letters in his name, to look both ways when crossing the street, to say the Spanish equivalents of words he commonly uses in English and most importantly, she provided him with an example of gentleness, understanding, compassion and love of learning. Amy D.
We relocated to Massachusetts from Maryland and did not know anybody who could watch our two daughters. Thanks to Sittercity.com, we found excellent sitters whom we absolutely love and trust with our kids. I will recommend Sittercity.com to anyone! Maureen S.
I have used Sittercity.com to hire two different tutors and sitters for my son, who has autism. I could not be happier with both of them! Since my son has special needs, he needed more than just a nanny. Through Sittercity.com, I was able to post very specific requirements so the potential tutors would know exactly what would be expected of them. Now my son has wonderful tutors and sitters that he loves and I trust; and I also get a much-needed break. I recommend Sittercity.com to any parent who has a special needs child. Debi L.
Sittercity.com has been a saving grace many times for me as a single parent. I now have two longtime regular sitters who are like family to my daughter. I also use

Sittercity on occasions when I need to find new sitters in a pinch. Lisa M.
I am a working mom of three children. I have had numerous kinds of help (nanny, sitters, pre-preschool) and have found Sittercity.com to be the best source of referrals. I have to say that the people I have hired through Sittercity.com have been the best and most reliable. Thank you Sittercity.com, I tell all my friends about you. Sophia D.
I posted a job on sittercity on Friday morning so I could attend a business meeting Monday night. By Friday night, I had contacted half a dozen babysitters and found some really good, quality, flexible and affordable sitters! They all had good references, came to the house to meet my daughter and were available to sit! As a bonus, it looks like I will be able to find a nanny in Colorado when we go on a ski vacation. I would recommend
Sittercity to anyone. Save the worry and just join! Juli B.
I posted my ad for a summer nanny on Sittercity.com and received well over 30 applicants. We interviewed six nannies and found the perfect nanny. She is a great fit and I know she is going to do a wonderful job. I am so thankful for your service. I have no idea how I would have found someone without it. thank you Sittercity .. Carrie R.
