My daughter has been attending Kiddie Academy of Sparta for over a year, and my entire family…read morecannot express how happy we have been with the experience. It is the perfect combination of structure and fun for our young daughter. The facility is very safe and always clean. Parents are encouraged to speak with the staff daily, so between conversations and the daily reports I always know what is going on with my daughter and in the classroom. The teachers and aids are all so warm with the kids and take exceptional care of each of them. At first, I had a really hard time leaving my daughter at daycare, but my daughter loves going there and has blossomed during her time at Kiddie Academy of Sparta. Now, I go to work without any nagging thoughts about whether my daughter is okay or happy or not feeling well. I know she's getting optimal care and having a blast. :-)

Maybe this works for some families, but be aware of the fee structure!

This felt deceitful and borderline unethical to us. Bill and Sharon are nice people and do aim to make quality matches between families and caregivers. This service is likely best suited for people looking for one off or last minute sitters, not long-term sustainable nannies.

Our sitter, Alessandra H., endangered our baby, lacked basic training and was completed…read moreuninterested in the job. We were disappointed given the good reviews of the agency and the sitter's profile, which claimed that she has "15+ years of experience with newborns," "focuses on children having a good time" and "gives children devoted attention." - Our sitter left our baby unattended for 20 seconds on a 3-feet high changing table (recorded on cameras that we disclosed), walking away to look for a change of clothes. This is a huge safety concern for a 4.5 month infant who is able to independently roll and could have resulted in serious injuries. There is a safety strap that she could have buckled if she needed to walk away. - Sitter pulled a dirty onesie over his head after a blowout. The best practice would be to pull the onesie down past the shoulders/legs to avoid smearing poop over his head. This further demonstrated her lack of experience in caring for infants. - According to the agency, sitters are prohibited to be on their phones when children are awake unless responding to parents or in case of emergency. Our sitter was on her phone the entire time he was awake and ignored him when he was distressed and crying loudly for food. - Our sitter left the apartment twice to pick up lunch/dinner and asked me to babysit. This defeated the point of paying for a sitter so I could catch up on sleep. We assumed she would bring her own meals or order delivery since we are paying for her to be available. - Sitter left all the dirty baby bottles in the sink. Our understanding is that she would clean up after the baby's meals. We understand that the first day may not run perfectly, however we cannot overlook that our child was put in a dangerous position. We have serious doubts about the sitter screening and training process. To throw salt in our wound, we had to pay a $50 cancellation fee so she didn't come back for the second day of our booking. We raised our concerns to Lisa, who acknowledged some of our concerns but ignored the point about leaving a baby unattended on a changing table. She told us that she would continue to employ this sitter, but that she would not be assigned to us anymore. We will not be using Pinch Sitters again.

My children had never been with anyone but family but we were in town for a family trip and my husband and I had tickets to a Broadway show.

It was an amazing experience and we now can't wait until our next trip to the city to use this agency again!!

We were pretty happy at Twinkling Stars but as it turns out Bright Beginnings has a way nicer facility and we were able to get a third day for the same price as 2 days at the other place. Staff is terrific. Administrators are flexible and easy to work with and teachers are so amazing with the kids. You really can't go wrong with Bright Beginnings. So glad we found them!
