Stephanie F.

Stephanie has been watching my 2 boys pretty consistently for the past year or so. My boys love her! I love her! She is always doing activities with them (Pacific Science Cente, Odyssey, Aquatic Ctr on Bainbridge) and goes out of her way to find activities that will entertain both my boys even though they are 6 years apart! She even brings along someone on outings to help her so that my older child has someone with him while she focuses on the younger child. Her son has formed a great relationship with my 2 year old also. I will truly miss her and know that she will be a VERY had act to follow!

Stephanie is our 1st babysitter and initially I had some reservations about her bringing her son. Now that's she's been with us for a few months I think it was the best scenario possible. My daughter and her son have become fast friends and she asks about him on the days they aren't here. My daughter sees these days as fun filled days with a buddy rather then mommy leaving her with the babysitter. Stephanie is soft spoken, kind but also firm when interacting with my daughter and her son. She leaves a "report card" about their day and even messages me when we're running out of something so I have the opportunity to pick it up before heading home. Like all the other reviews below she goes above and beyond being a babysitter. I'll come home and she's done the dishes or wiped down the counters, just because. She's always on time and has given me a month in advance for days she can't work. She flexible with scheduling and has even offered to take my daughter to a show when I couldn't find a replacement. I couldn't be happier with Stephanie!

Stephanie has been watching my three kids for several months now, with my wacky schedule, she has always been here when needed. While also having her son with her, she has managed long hours and still have my three ready for, or in bed by the time I get home from my 12 hour shift. She has done the dishes and laundry (which wasn't expected). Due to necessary changes, we will no longer need Stephanie on a full time basis. However, we plan on keeping her for any available weekends I may need to work, as well as in our hearts. She is now a part of this family, my kids love her!!! If your looking for a good reliable, trustworthy sitter, Miss Stephanie is it!!!

It had been about four years since my wife and I had gotten out of the house, and we'd already found a baby sitter when we interviewed Stephanie. However, since my daughter who generally has stranger anxiety went right to her and fell asleep in her arms, we decided to spend an extra night out. Her son and my rambunctious kids did fine together, which is something I always worry about with my son's high spirits. And the kids were happy when we got home. And, surprise, people actually took naps. My kids don't nap. I think that they are allergic... Anyway, we thanked them, and moved on to the weekend. The first day went as planned, but then I got a phone call at 6:43 a.m. informing me that my babysitter was cancelling. I called Stephanie and she was at our house in a few hours, and we got a large part of what would have been a total loss of a date back in short order. Thanks again!
