The Educated Baby Sitter is phenomenal! I had two last minute events come up and needed someone to watch my son. I reached out and they quickly found a sitter for each night. The sitters were punctual, professional and friendly and my son really enjoyed his time with them. Highly recommended!

We've now used them a ton over the last several years. And I reviewed them a while back, and what was said then remains true. It's still super easy to contact them, they're still very quick to respond, and because there's a good amount of sitters in their pool, we still haven't had problems with getting a sitter…

I was in town and found them online. It was a rush order and the entire team worked with my family. My children loved Katherine. The entire experience was amazing.
My husband and I are beyond grateful that we connected with The Educated Babysitter for our trip to northern Virginia for a friend’s wedding. We live in Texas and were not quite ready to leave our 9 month old behind to travel so far. Upon my initial inquiry, Tracy was so prompt and transparent with explaining the process. We were then matched with an amazing sitter, LaToya, who cared for our daughter as her own. Before sitting our daughter, LaToya was very strategic and intentional about learning more and also made time to meet us all on a video call. My husband and I felt so comfortable and had no reservations when it came time to head off to our events for the two evenings we requested services. During our time away, we received photos and updates about our daughter’s activities, which was truly appreciated. Our baby was smiling in every single one of those photos, which told me that she was truly comfortable and having a great time! I highly recommend The Educated Babysitter to parents looking for exceptional care for your children and peace of mind for yourself.
Price assessment: Reasonable price

We've now used them a ton over the last several years. And I reviewed them a while back, and what was said then remains true. It's still super easy to contact them, they're still very quick to respond, and because there's a good amount of sitters in their pool, we still haven't had problems with getting a sitter when we need one, giving them at least a couple days of lead time ahead of when we are requesting them.
The sitters are prompt, courteous, very attentive, and thorough. A couple days in advance, they ask for information regarding the care of your child. They come prepared to provide individualized care.
Definitely recommend sitters provided by The Educated Babysitter. These sitters are quality, they jump right in and are still the real deal!

I can always depend on them to send me a quality babysitter . My son is on the spectrum and it takes someone patient kind and understanding to work with him. All of the sitters from this agency have been amazing to him and my family. I would definitely recommend them.
