Emily is SO amazing. I have never seen my kids so quickly be comfortable with a sitter before. Emily put them right at ease. She is wonderful and I feel like she kept them safe and they were engaged and learning while she was here. Highly recommended. I wish I could hire her every single time! Thanks Emily!
Emily literally was magical! Mary Poppins has NOTHING on Emily! She was the sweetest, most caring, kindest person we have ever met. Our daughter LOVED her and so did we!
Emily was wonderful! I felt totally confident leaving my little one with her and she was such pleasure to talk with! Such a great first experience using Wyndy.
Emily was on time and so sweet! She has a very calm and fun attitude and demeanor and was wonderful with my kids - I would definitely love her to help us again!
She is exactly what we want in a sitter... who is attentive -plays with our kids -gives updates -leaves our house just as clean or cleaner than we left it
Our little guy was quite difficult to handle tonight, very upset that I was leaving, and fighting a cold & teething. Emani was professional and kind, checking on him a lot while he slept and when he coughed, and comforting him while he was fussy. Even with all of that, she agreed to stay 40 minutes late as our show was running long. She’s a dream. Thank you Emani!!
Emani was the most personable and professional sitter we’ve had yet! Our baby was fussy tonight and she still got him down for bed before 8:30. She made me feel very confident I was leaving him in great hands! She even tolerated our crazy dog from the first moment she entered our home!
Emani is so sweet, professional, and kind. She is also a trooper. Our baby spit up all over her tonight and had a hard time getting to bed, and she handled it so wonderfully. We love her!!
Emani is a dream!! Always so warm and kind, and trustworthy - but after we had an especially tough day with a fussy baby, she made their evening together easy and breezy.
Emani was awesome with the kiddos and very responsive via text when checking in the kids. I left the house knowing my kids were in safe hands! Highly recommend!
Incredible sitter. Our son warmed up to her with no hesitation. Karalyn was flexible and accommodating. Here lot resume is a direct reflection on the care she provides and we will 100% hire her again. Karalyn is a gem and you are lucky to hire her!
Karalyn was fantastic! She was prompt and asked engaging questions to make the experience as smooth as possible. She was patient and kind with our almost 2 year old-who has lots of new opinions. Grateful for the help! Highly recommend!
Karalyn was awesome! So interactive with my twins! I hope to use her again soon.
Great communicator, great with kids!
Karalyn is our favorite!
She was on time, kind, pleasant, sent a picture update, and was comfortable with pets,
Mariam is the best, so kind, always on time, and reliable. Thank you Mariam!

Kaitlin is always so dependable and personable. She has such a positive attitude and a great smile. We are so proud of her hard work, both in school and when she comes to our house!
Kaitlin was kind, timely, caring and so great with the kids! They even walked to the near by library and took great notes for how the baby did!
Above and beyond! Would book again without question. Very professional!. Total peace of mind leaving our children with her.
She was able to easily work with our booking time change and our daughter loved having her babysit
What a delight! Loved chatting with Kaitlin. Thank you for taking such great care of Rhett!
Hannah was great! She jumped right in and immediately connected with my kids. She brought books for the kids to read. She left our playroom cleaner than it was when she arrived. She communicated well throughout the night.
Best Sitter we have had yet! She came with games for the kids, played with them the entire time and organized our pantry without even being asked!
Hannah brought games that my kids found super engaging. They loved her and asked if she can come back soon!
My child had a great time with her! In town for the weekend and she was available last minute!
Brought games and played with the kids. Very communicative and friendly!
Sarah is great! She took on a lot with my energetic baby and 4 year old, she took them to the park, she played with them, she kept them super entertained and was able to get the baby down for a mega nap! She’s professional and trustworthy.
Took great care of kids and house was tidy when we came home. Punctual and flexible too.
Right on time, engaged quickly with kids, cleaned up after supper.
My son didn’t want Sarah to leave. She rocks.
My daughter had fun playing with Sarah!
So nice when someone shows up on time, is ready to engage with your kids, and makes everyone feel comfortable immediately. Keira was A+. Highly recommend.
Keira was amazing! We gave her a tall order and she did it all with such a positive attitude. Super kind, kids loved her, can't wait to have her back:)
Keira was awesome. My toddler loved her and she was so kind and sweet in our house. We will definitely want her back again soon!
Keira is truly amazing. She handled six kids with so much knowledge and care. My kids are dying for her to come back!
Thank you for being reliable, communicative and so amazing with the kids! We can’t wait to have you back!
Wonderful! Paige was on time, so kind, and easy to talk to. Would certainly book her again.
Very confident and engaging with the children. I appreciate that as a parent.
Really great at talking, playing, and engaging with my 9-year-old. Thanks!
Paige was such a lovely and thoughtful sitter. Our kids loved her!
On time and super sweet!
Ashley arrived on time and was super sweet. She immediately started playing with our girls and they had a great time.
We loved Ashley! She even swept the floor after putting the boys to bed. We'd love to have her again.
Ashley did great, especially considering our power had been knocked out during a big wind storm!
we love this sitter and would love it if we could use her exclusively because she’s great!
we would definitely want to work with ashley again!
My son is super picky and really liked Lena, which is rare for my 15 year old boy to say about a sitter :)
Lena was great! Arrived on time, great communication throughout the evening!
Lena stepped up to a big job with 3 wild little boys! She was awesome!
Lena was the best! Would absolutely use her again!!! Sweetheart.
So kind, flexible, and good with kiddos.
Great babysitter. She kept everything under control. I came home and didn’t have to spend an hour cleaning and picking up all the toys. Definitely hiring her again.

Appreciated her coming out and did a great job!
Sophie was responsible and great with our kids. Made both us and the kids comfortable immediately. Our kids said she was so much fun and immediately asked us when Sophie could come again!

Amazing! Our son had a great time!
On time and even picked up the house after kids went to bed. Jen was great!
Jennifer was awesome!
My kids loved her!
She was early to the job which was great but she sat on her computer for 1 hour and 45 minutes and did her homework until my husband asked her to take our child outside to play, like I had originally asked before I left.
Olivia was great. She was very flexible with a mix up and made our plans work. We will be using her again!
Olivia was great! I felt very comfortable leaving her with my 3 month old.
My daughter loved her so much!!
Olivia is the best!
Tess was a great communicator. She reached out immediately upon booking. She texted me during the job with helpful updates. She arrived on time and took great care of my infant. She is responsible and great with kids!
She’s great. My kids love her!
Tess was great and professional!
Great job!
Aliya was awesome. She played with the kids and put all 3 to bed (including the baby!) Loved having her.
Aliya was great! She seemed very experienced and I came home to find a happy baby. Highly recommend!
Doesn’t clean up dishes (multiple nights). Let my kid make a mess and didn’t have her clean it up. Very quiet and introverted...not really enthusiastic or talkative.
Theresa was amazing! Jumped right into our crazy family and did a fantastic job. Highly recommend her!
Flexible, attentive, focused and phenomenal with my wonderful terror of a two-year-old
Loved her!
Kadie was very down to earth and reliable! Definitely made me feel comfortable with this being the first time we used this app. Will definitely have her sit again!
Kadie is an absolute pleasure to work with, loves the kids and appreciates you the parents enjoying alone time.
Prompt, in control, did great with the boys
Sydney was prompt and my kids were in a great mood/said they had fun with her!
Sydney was available at the last second and so sweet and wonderful.
