Placement Testimonials

The SitterCentral team was essential to helping me find my nanny for my 3 boys. Sitter Central background checks and pre interviews the applicants so that they can narrow down the pool of candidates that will match your family and the applicant’s needs the best. Our nanny has truly become a part of our family. I could not imagine not having her in our lives and I am so grateful to Sitter Central for connecting us.

My husband and I had a fantastic experience with the SitterCentral team and are head over heels for our nanny. The team had two scoping calls with us to determine our needs, and offered us three different options in skill level and personality. They also sent a representative to help facilitate each interview and translate for any Spanish speaking candidates and we had the opportunity to trial a couple of candidates before making our final decision. We ended up surprising ourselves and selecting the nanny that we would not have expected to choose on paper but because the SitterCentral team read between the lines of what we were asking for, we now have a nanny who meshes so well with the family and we are thrilled to have in our home. As first time parents without any idea of where to start with childcare, SitterCentral took out all of the guesswork and gave us dependable and professional options allowing us to focus on our baby rather than weeding out candidates ourselves. I would without hesitation recommend SitterCentral for anyone with childcare needs.

Our family has used SitterCentral Dallas for both short term babysitting support and for the procurement of a full time Nanny. Being new to the city of Dallas we required immediate assistance to help us with our three boys. The staffs' knowledge of the marketplace and attention to detail is second to none. All the proposed babysitting and Nanny candidates were vetted and more than qualified to help us in both the short and long term. As a result, we were able to make confident and informed decisions giving the best results possible for our family. We are extremely happy with our full time Nanny. The SitterCentral team made a potentially difficult process easy and enjoyable. We highly recommend SitterCentral and will use them again in the future!

I can’t recommend SitterCentral enough! After months of searching on our own, only to end up one disappointment after another, a friend told us about SitterCentral. I cannot recommend them enough! From beginning to end, our placement advisor was amazing to work with. She took the stress out of the equation for us and was able to find, prescreen, background check and interview possible candidates on our behalf. She worked endlessly to find the perfect match who fit our family’s needs and found us an absolute dream of a nanny! We absolutely adore our new nanny and are forever grateful to SitterCentral for helping us find her!

Our nanny of four years moved out of state and we needed a replacement as soon as possible! SitterCentral Dallas was able to find a new nanny for us before our old nanny even left. This helped make the transition seamless. My kids love our new nanny! She always has a smile on her face and is ready to jump right in when she walks through the front door. She does craft projects with my five year old daughter and helps her with her reading homework. She plays dinosaurs, race cars, airplanes, and hide and seek with my three year old son. She's also been amazing with my newborn. SitterCentral Dallas made it so easy. I had no worries about screening, reference checks, background checks, etc. I would highly recommend SitterCentral Dallas to anyone looking for a nanny for their family.
