Our 16 month old son loved Yissel and we do, too. Her communication and child interaction skills are excellent and instill confidence. We look forward to hiring Yissell again in the future!

Yissell was great. she was on time and made sure she was ready to play with our 4 year old. Incredibly responsive and easy to work with. Will call her again when we are in the area.

Yissell is great with our 2 kids (3 & 5). She is on time and communicates well throughout the time we are gone. Our kids really like her. She is also very punctual.

Yissell was so great with our baby! She came in as a last minute sitter after our previous sitter canceled. She sent pics to update us throughout the time and was so good with him. Will definitely use again!

We were in need of a sitter last minute. Yissell was responsive with our request replying within minutes of my post. We were able to work out times and days. I am very particular about who takes care of our baby, what parent is not. Our child is on a schedule, vegan, and we are a bilingual family. Yissell met all our criteria. She was dependable, punctual, great communicator. She is assertive, confident and has a lot of experience. She was a life saver. She not only responded quickly to our last minute request, but we hired her several times afterward.

Yissell was great! She kept my 4-yr-old twins happy and entertained! She was so quick to learn everything. We did not have to explain anything in great detail because she knows kids and taking care of a household. She was great and patient with my the kiddos, and they asked for her to come back the very next day. You will not go wrong with Yissell!

Yissell was the first person I’ve ever hired to watch my 3 year old and 8 month old and she did not disappoint. She was very responsive and helped with a last minute job. My kids took to her very quickly and had a lot of fun with her. I was working in the other room and could hear how playful and interactive she was. I had a very positive experience overall and would not hesitate to have her watch my children again.

I would definitely use Yissell again. She was very polite and attentive to my daughter. She was very flexible with her hours considering the fact that I needed immediate care and had posted a last minute posting. She was very quick to respond to my post which I greatly appreciated. My daughter took to her immediately and always looks like she is having a wonderful time when she is with Yissell. I definitely plan on using her again in the future and I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone who will provide the same attention and care to your child that you would. If I could rate higher than 5 stars I would.

I'm a stay at home mom with a 13 month old son who -- due to the pandemic -- hasn't been with a babysitter since he was about 3 months old. He's spent every day of his ice with his mom and dad! Needless to say my husband and I were very very nervous about leaving our son with a sitter full time for a week while I trained for a new job. I'm so glad I found Yissell!!! She is amazing!!! She went out of her way to learn about and get to know my son. When she walked in each morning his face lit up. He simply adores her. She was always on time, respectful, clean, and very communicative. I will absolutely be calling Yissell again and I highly recommend her.

We asked Yissell to baby sit for a couple of hours and she was really sweet. My kids seemed to have enjoyed her because they asked if she could watch them again lol.

We needed a sitter the same day for a sick kid and Yissell was very responsive and punctual. It was only about a 3 hour window from when we posted the job until we needed someone at the house. It is always unnerving to have someone new come to look after your kid before you have met them. I felt very comfortable with Yissell and she did a great job. We wound up using her two days in a row and really appreciated all the help and support she gave.

We have hired Yissell many times now to watch our 3 year old son. She is always on time (usually early!) and does an excellent job of engaging him in fun, outdoor activities. She also speaks to him 100% in Spanish (as we requested) and is able to get him down for naps...which is no small feat! She has a calm, yet assertive, nature. Our son looks forward to seeing "Miss Yissell" each time she is here. We like her so much that we referred her to our friends. Great person to be in charge of your little ones. We highly recommend.

My kids loved Yissell! She is very nice, on time, reasonable price, and was very flexible with the times. She took very good care of my children, a 2yr old boy and 6yr old girl. Would definitely recommend her :)

We have used Yisell several times. She is great, and our boys really enjoy having her. She is super flexible in that we have even called her last minute a few times. We hope to continue using Yisell for a long time.

Yissell is an awesome baby sitter. Trust worthy, reliable and interacts with my son while she takes care of him. She is flexible and understanding for us as a working couple. I highly recommend Yissell, she also speaks Spanish which is what we were after for our son.
