Service: Babysit to a 3-year-old during a full day
I was initially unsure about hiring someone for a full day, but Gal exceeded my expectations. She was creative with activities and knew exactly what my daughter needed. Even after the day ended, she checked in, showing how deeply she cared.

Service: Provided babysitting services for a sensitive child, read and selected books
For the past year and a half, Maria João has been our go-to babysitter, and her presence has been invaluable. My son, who is a little more sensitive, feels completely at ease with her, which speaks volumes about her character and care. She exudes warmth and kindness, making her feel like a part of our family.

Service: Babysitting service with proactive and engaging activities for children
Mia has consistently impressed us as one of the best babysitters, thanks to her proactive approach and genuine enthusiasm. She always brings her own set of activities and ideas, which keeps our kids engaged and excited. Although her rates are a bit higher, the quality of care and professionalism she provides make it completely worth it.

Service: Babysitting services including multilingual communication and activity planning
Finding a babysitter I could trust was so important to me. From the moment my kids met Nelly, they liked her and felt completely at ease. She's our first call whenever we need someone, and she always keeps the house tidy and the kids happy and busy with appropriate activities.

Service: Blanca babysat my kids for half a year
Initially, I wasn't sure about choosing Blanca, but my experience turned out to be very positive. I was with her for half a year, and I felt comfortable, especially with my kids at home. The service was worth it, and I was very happy overall.
