Qualifications and experience
References
I've known Yolanda for ten years and I'd definitely recommend her. She is calm, intelligent, trustworthy, certainly dedicated to looking after our children. She doesn't flap - she deals with things in a capable way and uses her initiative. She's also capable of asking how we want to handle certain situations. She's also very good at organising the children. We had three children who were very close together, so it was like herding cats. She was very good at organising activities for them and taking them to places and bringing them safely home. I can't fault her at all!
She is very friendly and very good with the kids - obviously she has kids of her own. I would definitely recommend her. She looked after my little one from the age of 3 and his sister from the age of about 7. She would take them to play and read to them, looking after them at my place and sometimes at her place. She goes the extra mile if need be.
Reviews
5.0“Yolanda is wonderful! She was punctual and had no problem jumping right in with three kids (age 10, 7 and 4). She got them to bed and sound asleep and has a very sweet and gentle demeanor. She texted me when they were all asleep which I very much appreciated to put my mind at ease. I would definitely have her sit for us again!”

4.0“My little boy (almost 3) was not easy to get off my leg, but Yolanda was good. She kept calm, talked to him and tried to distract him despite him screaming at the top of his lungs. She wasn't phased by it. Within 5 minutes he was happy. By the time Yolanda had to leave, my boy was happy and gave her a kiss goodbye. It was hard leaving him with someone he had never met before, but knowing how KidSitter vets everyone made me feel safe. I would definitely recommend you and Yolanda.”
