OMG! Brenda was such a life saver! Needed a last minute sitter and Brenda was able to accommodate what my family and I needed. She not only took great care of my children, but she also helped out around the house. Will definitely book again and highly recommended her.

Alexandria parents love their sitters.
Real five-star reviews of Alexandria babysitters, written by the families they sat for.
Amy was very sweet and attentive to our one year old. She played with her and was good at interacting with her even when the baby was fussy.
Marina is wonderful! She’s prompt, easy to communicate with, excellent with detailed instructions. And my kiddos loved her. My son came home from the school run and said, “That was SO FUN!”
Mikayla is wonder with our baby! She’s warm and friendly and has a lot of baby experience! She comes in and starts helping immediately, and she’s always on time.
Prompt, great at communicating, took great care of baby even with a bad diaper rash and a little fussy. Would use again!
Mary Blake was one of the best Wyndy’s we’ve had! She made an immediate attempt to get to know our kids and their interests. She was very engaging. She was also very appreciative of dinner we had.
