    Stay away. I don't write any reviews but we really had a terrible experience with this agency. We…read moreused them to find a new full time live-out nanny for our toddler and baby. They are really just interested in sending you resumes and trying to convince you to hire someone so they can get paid and move on. They pushed us to choose between the only two candidates they sent us and when we had to let her go after 2 months they refused to replace her without another fee. They also were completely uninterested in learning why it didn't work out and offered to replace her with someone they hadn't even interviewed yet (for a fee). This is not a premium service but they charge like they are. This is a resume factory. Also, when we pushed them, it turned out they hadn't been forthcoming about the candidates experience. When we were considering her, they told us that she had taken their newborn class but it turns out that was actually over 10 years ago and she hadn't had any actual experience with newborns for over 20 years. Just avoid. There are plenty of other agencies out there.

    I used this agency to help me find a full time nanny. They were fantastic! We immediately had…read moremultiple interviews scheduled. And I must say three of the nannies they initially sent me were a lot better than all of the others we were meeting on our own. The staff was easy to work, very patient and I felt really listened and understood what we needed. Being a first time mom with a baby I felt a bit overwhelmed at finding a nanny that I would feel comfortable with but I learned so much and Absolute helped me understand the process and was great at giving really clear details on each specific nanny. Meeting nannies knowing that they have already been screened and met by this agency took a lot of the stress away and I didn't have to worry about who was coming over to my home. They were above my expectations and I highly recommend using them.

    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.

    Finding a sitter, who is caring and trustworthy is a tough feat. I thought finding a sitter in NYC…read morewould be almost impossible since we're not locals. I was recommended this agency by a friend. Lisa and her agency were really amazing! 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. I was nervous but since reaching out to Lisa, I felt like we were in good hands. We felt very comfortable after meeting our sitter and my kids loved her. It was an amazing experience and we now can't wait until our next trip to the city to use this agency again!!
