About Mercedes

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi! I am a babysitter with more of 10 years of experience. I am CPR and First Aid Certified. I babysit kids of all ages and groups too. I play with them, help with the homework, cook for them, go to their activities. Reading, exploring and doing things or sports inside and outside is the way that I love to caring them. I like to be the right hand of the mommy. That defines me.

We absolutely recommend Mercedes! She was an amazing sitter to our two boys and our puppy Scratch (a lab that unexpectedly grew to 95lbs at 8 months…a testament to her patience 😅!) We had just moved to the area and I had just returned to work when we hired Mercedes. Our youngest was having a tough transition but Mercedes navigated his frustrations with poise and grace. She provided a consistent nurturing environment that helped him turn the corner and really settle into his new routine! Our oldest son had an easier transition with the move, but she was able to make him also feel supported while still addressing our youngest’s more immediate needs. Again, we highly recommend Merceds and are available to discuss further if needed!
