She wore my kids out! It was lovely to come home and everyone was napping!
Super sweet young lady & on time.
Really unfriendly, was sitting on her phone with her back to me while I was talking to her. Before I left I asked my 11 year told to clean the kitchen and read for 30 minutes, she didn’t remind him to do either and just let the kids watch tv the entire time. The kids said she played on her phone and didn’t speak to them at all. When my husband came home she said “ok thanks” and left without saying goodbye to the kids. Worst experience I’ve ever had with Wyndy or any sitter I’ve had over the last 10 years.
Shelby did a fantastic job watching 4 kiddos! She was very attentive and interactive. Added to my favorite list!
Shelby is amazing!
Friendly and engaging
Our family loves Ragan! She's so sweet and is an excellent communicator with me.
We love Ragan!! She's a total rockstar.
She arrived on time and was very friendly. My kids were already getting in bed when she arrived, which is the only reason I can’t rate her higher.
Mackenzie is one of the best sitters our family has ever had and we have had so many! She is so good with my kids and I don’t have to worry for a second when my children are in her care.
She is fantastic and my kids love her!
returned back early from the park and said our 3 year old had an "accident".. I asked if that meant he pooped his diaper - she didn't say.. then asked if she could leave 10 min early - we said no problem. 5 min after she left, we saw that he had poop leaking out of pants and up his shirt - she had a backpack with diapers and wipes with her, she could've changed him on the playground.. she could've changed him when she got home.. unexpected poor ending to an an otherwise decent wyndy experience.
My girls loved her! And she was extremely understanding when work ran late!
Loved her, took great care of the two girls. Thank you!
Adorable!
Alyssa was great - came right in and started playing with the kids, they had a great time with her.
Absolutely terrific! Couldn't have asked for a better babysitter!
She was amazing! The kids loved her!
Allison was wonderful! She was warm and immediately connected with my kids as well as with my brother (who has Down Syndrome) for whom we needed a caregiver for the evening.
Allison is amazing. So kind and careful with kids. She played with my son and treated him so sweetly. Definitely booking her again!
Allison was great!
Taylor is incredible! I feel so comfortable leaving my children with her and know that she will care for them as her own. She is so kind, polite, always on time, trustworthy and most importantly she is fantastic with kids! She’s patient and stern when needed.
Taylor was on time and so nice to let us extend our time. The kids loved her!
Taylor did a great job taking care of our son! Thank you!
5 stars! Daria was great!
Daria is awesome!
Great!
Jackie was excellent. She adjusted her schedule when the kids didn’t stay in quiet time and she had them to bed early! House and kitchen were cleaned up. She was great!
She was wonderful! So personable and great with kids. Our son went to her immediately!
Outstanding!
Mei Lin was wonderful! My kids had so much fun with her and they woke up asking if she could babysit again
She did an amazing job! Kids loved her!!!!
The best to my little one!
Isabella was communicative, prompt, and wonderful!
Isabella was so great and sweet with our kids!
Isabella is fabulous!
Olivia was amazing! She was a great communicator and played with my son the entire time. He loved her!
Olivia was great! My kids loved her and asked when she could come back again:)
Excellent!
Precious! Loved her. Wonderful attitude!
My kids LOVED Tori! She is amazing!
Tori is Awesome!
Kind, attentive, punctual and engaged with my kids. Thank you so much Hannah!
She was super sweet and very interactive with our girls!
Love Hannah!!!!
She was SO great!!! She interacted and actually played with the girls. They had the BEST time with Maddie!
Great job!
Maddie was very sweet & kids enjoyed her. She was also very early— while I appreciate early rather than late, 20 minutes early is too early.
Emma was timely, sweet and give me the full rundown on what my rowdy boys were up to while we were gone. Definitely recommend and I’ll be reaching out to her again!
She was wonderful! Our girls loved her!
Adorable!
Caroline was so sweet and attentive to our active little girl. We enjoyed having her in our home!
Exceptionally sweet and so patient with my kids.
We loveee Ms. Caroline!
She was awesome today and a joy to have. Our boys loved her and we’d love to have her back sometime!
Excellent!!
Had her phone in her hand the whole time and didn’t really give my son much attention.
Best wyndy I’ve ever had
Above and beyond great!!
Great attitude!
Eden was so cool even when we were later than expected. Boys had a good time! Thanks, Eden!
So sweet with my baby and great all around!
Eden was unfortunately over 15 min late and was barely a help with my 2 year old and 5 month old. She said she had experience with babies but clearly did not (she tried to give our daughter a bottle with it upright) and my husband who was working from home ended up having to do pretty much everything for both girls. This is the only bad Wyndy experience we’ve had so far.
Wonderful and excited to be here with my kiddos! would definitely recommend
Loved her!!!
Great!
Katherine was so friendly and easy to work with. We had a last minute change on our arrival time and she was great about it.
Kids immediately asked for Katherine to come back soon!
Very calm and patient. Good listener and will definitely have her back!
Great sitter! Highly recommend!
So so friendly and knowledgeable. It was great to have someone we trusted watch our daughter.
My toddler announced: “I like Emma!”
