Service: Babysitting my 4 year-old daughter, my 2 year-old son and my newborn for some night support and even summer vacation
Word travels fast when you find someone truly reliable. I've relied on this service for years, starting when my daughter was 4, my son was 2, and my newborn had just arrived. Margarida and her team's expertise have been invaluable for nights and even summer vacations, and I've happily shared my great experience with all my friends.

Service: Provided nanny services and assistance for a single mother
Carlota is amazing and her service is the best I’ve experienced. I’m a single mom and I feel totally confident leaving my 2-year-old with her babysitters - they’re trained, have the right qualifications, very precautious, and super reliable. They adapt to my home routine, cook, make snacks, tidy the kitchen, and even help with the baby’s clothes if I ask. Booking has been easy, even same day when I was sick with a morning-afternoon split, and the price feels affordable.

Service: Daily nanny service including school pickup and afternoon care
I’ve used this service for the last 20 months, pretty much every work day. The nanny picks up my kid from school and spends the afternoon with them, sometimes stays for lunch depending on the school schedule, makes food every now and then, and the house is very much tidy after. I trust them quite literally with my toddler every day and I would have no way of making my life work without them, always easy. Price feels reasonable, basically what the market rate should be.
