Testimonials

See what our Find-A-Sitter families say!

We moved to St. Louis recently and were worried about finding a reliable babysitter. Carmen and Find-A-Sitter was referred to us by a friend and I'm so glad they did. We have used Find-A-Sitter several times and have had the best experience. All the sitters have always been on time, reliable, and my daughter loves them! I fully trust Carmen and her sitters, we wouldn't use any other service for babysitting!

Find-A-Sitter Mom

Claire was amazing with our son. He was very anxious about having a sitter as he hadn't had someone other than family for a few months. She patiently waited him out 🙂 When he woke up the next morning the first thing he said was “Claire was really nice!” Due to Claire’s awesomeness when we had another Find-A-Sitter sitter a few weeks later he had no anxiety and opened up right away. Thank you so much Claire!

Find-A-Sitter Mom

One of the nicest and most fabulous families I have babysat for! The mom is super understanding and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure the babysitter feels welcome!

Find-A-Sitter Sitter

I've loved using Find-A-Sitter because it's so easy! It takes the guesswork and trouble out of finding a sitter. Carmen has been so easy to work with and quick to respond anytime I need a sitter. My kids have loved every sitter we've had. They have all been so personal and engaging with my kids. It's so nice to be able to leave my kids for a night and know they are being completely cared for.

Find-A-Sitter Mom

When Katy arrived at our house for the first time she was punctual, and she got right at our son's level and started playing with him immediately! If she had a question, she texted me (which I SUPER appreciate) and she continued to text me updates throughout our night away. It was our first time using Find-A-Sitter and it's always nerve-racking to leave the house with a new face for the first time. I didn't have a single worry the entire time we were gone! Thank you Katy!

Find-A-Sitter Mom

Such an amazing family! The mom and kids are beyond respectful and super welcoming!

Find-A-Sitter Sitter

As a first-time mom with newborn twins, I had no idea where to start or who to trust for babysitting. Find-A-Sitter has been an amazing resource for my family, and is always my "go-to" for my childcare needs. Every sitter has been incredibly kind, caring, and professional. The twins have loved them too!

Find-A-Sitter Mom

Maria was a dream. I was in a last-minute bind and needed help with my nine-week-old daughter. It was her first time with anyone outside of her parents or grandparents so to say I was nervous was an understatement. Maria was communicative days ahead, arrived to our home early, and was so sweet and attentive to our daughter from the moment she walked in the door. She must have sensed my apprehensions she sent text updates and photos throughout the night (7 hours!) which put me at ease. She's wonderful and we will be requesting her again.

Find-A-Sitter Mom

Thanks Maggie for watching our daughter! Maggie easily followed directions we gave and was kind enough to take her on a walk right away when she got there/when she asked which was helpful so we didn't have a tantrum before we left for the evening! Thanks again!

Find-A-Sitter Mom

Emily was super friendly and attentive to directions when she arrived even though I did not have anything written down or ready when she arrived, so I appreciate her going with the flow and trying to remember everything I was saying. I kept changing her arrival time because I was running late, and I appreciate her willingness to adapt. Additionally, we came home later than scheduled, and she was very kind and flexible.
