I am a working mom who splits time between Wilmington & Raleigh, so finding Amanda has been a total game-changer for me. Although I have family in the Raleigh area, if they are not available to help with my daughter, I am out of options when I have to be in my office while I am in town. That is exactly what happened last spring when my mother got sick and I had 2 very important meetings the next day. I contacted Amanda the evening before and she personally came to my home less than 12 hours later. Not only was she efficient with her service, she personally made my daughter's day! When I got home from work, my daughter was full of joy and excitement to tell me all about what she & Amanda had played together, new books they read and silly games they shared. When we left the next day to return to Wilmington, my daughter was sad that her new "friend", Amanda, would not be around to play with her. However, it wasn't long before we called Stellar Sitters again and Ms. Sam was on the way for an overnight stay. Once again, our daughter was delighted with the fun and companionship she enjoyed while my husband & I were away. We were lucky to have Ms. Amanda accompany us to a large family event later in the summer and she made things smooth and comfortable for us, fitting right in with our guests. Ms. Dakota brought the same amount of energy & put a smile on my daughter's face immediately. All of the women we have had the pleasure to work with through Stellar Sitters were prompt, professional and completely engaged with our daughter. I trust anyone Amanda recommends implicitly, which gives me true peace of mind that no matter which home we are in, if we need care for our child, we can depend on Amanda. Without reservation, I recommend Stellar Sitters to all families for your child care needs. read more

I have been working with Amanda for Sitter Connection for almost three years and it has been the PERFECT job for a busy college student! Each summer she has been able to place me with a wonderful family who's needs fit my schedule. It has been such a positive experience for me and I love every family that I work with. The emails and texts make it so easy to pick and choose jobs that are nearby and within a time frame that is convenient for me. Amanda is extremely organized and works really hard to place every family with a sitter that is right for them. I would recommend this job to anyone! It has been a great experience and I have formed fantastic relationships with so many children and their parents! read more

I have been one of Amanda's Stellar Sitters since 2013 I think! I started in college hoping to pick up jobs here and there and make connections with families in the Raleigh area! To my pleasant surprise, I was placed with an amazing family that I nannied for every day after school! When I graduated, I continued sitting through Amanda, mostly at churches on Sunday mornings! My experience has always been positive, friendly and I always feel safe walking into a new home because of her background check and interview processes! I would recommend this business to any young adult looking to put their love for children to good use! The flexibility is amazing and the other sitters you meet are always a treat! read more

Sitter Connection is an wonderful resource for area parents! Amanda provides excellent customer service, and is generally able to secure a sitter within a few hours, if not a few minutes! The sitters have all been interviewed, references have been contacted, and have had background checks run. Sitter Connection is ideal for any family, but especially for new parents, families who have recently moved to the area, visitors, or anyone looking for childcare for events such as a wedding. As the business owner, Amanda strives to make each of her customer's experience as good as possible, so it's no surprise that some of her customers have been with her for so long! read more

Sitter Connection is the ideal babysitting company for all parents. Weather you are a new mom (or dad), new to the area, or on vacation, Sitter Connection is for you! Amanda personally and thoroughly interviews all sitters and gathers a lot of information about families to find the best sitter for each family. Amanda (and the sitters) are great about finding last minute help and out-of-town sitters. When using Sitter Connection on multiple occasions, Amanda does her best to keep a family with the same sitter they are already pleased with. Sitter Connection has personalized memberships to accommodate all the needs of families. read more

We began using Sitter Connection when our son was 6 months. He's 5 now. Since we don't have family in the area we were reluctant to begin having someone else care for our son. A friend told us about Sitter Connection. We were impressed that Amanda had screened, personally interviewed and done background checks on all of her sitters. We've had sitters for many different types of care such as date night, family vacations and last minute business travel overnights. The sitters are energetic, professional, mature and are very trustworthy. Amanda is wonderful to work with as well. They are all like family to us now. read more

Sitter Connection was recommended to me by a friend who knew I was looking for some babysitting jobs. Amanda was very prompt and professional in her response to my email. When I met her for the interview, it was clear that she had a passion for what she does and truly cares about the sitters and families that she connects. All of my experiences with the families she has set me up with and the other sitters I have met through group experiences have been positive. I would not hesitate at all to recommend this service to friends and family members that need to hire a babysitter. read more

I have been a nanny/sitter for several years now...and have lived in Raleigh since 2004. This service is amazing and works very well in matching up sitters and families with specific needs and dates for babysitting. It could be one night, several different dates, overnights, or even regular jobs partime for someone. Amanda does a wonderful job in communicating and getting back to both her sitters and her clients needs in a timely manner. This service for me has been great and I would HIGHLY recommend it to any sitter looking for jobs/placement!! read more

This service is great! It allows families to get connected with qualified, experienced sitters (many of them college students at NCSU or Meredith), and use them for random sitting jobs or even regular jobs. The sitters (like me) definitely love it because it allows us to meet families and get to know the kids! It's great for us college girls who can't babysit regularly, but can do different jobs when we have a break in classwork. Many sitters do have regular times off and can help families on a regular basis, though, so that's good too. read more

Sitter Connection always surprises me with who well it fits my needs! I am a teacher so the occasional babysitting jobs sent to my email always gives me a chance to babysit when I am available without having a set schedule. Then of course before summer, Amanda, sends out the placements which again works perfect for me. I have never met for a family that uses the Sitter Connection service that wasn't welcoming. SUCH a smart business Amanda has started! read more

Sitter Connection came highly recommended from several friends. We contacted Amanda to help with sitter placement, and she found someone very quickly for us. Our sitter was prompt, pleasant, and most importantly, the kids had a great time with her! (We have an 8.5-year-old son and 16-month-old daughter.) I would definitely recommend joining Sitter Connection for all your sitter needs. read more

The Sitter Connection is wonderful. Amanda is professional and fun and strives to offer quality service to not only the families she places sitters with, but the sitters as well. I have been able to nanny for two different families through her and have had several one-time placements. I am thankful to be a sitter under Amanda and represent her to people. Use her service! read more

Sitter connection is a fabulous way to find wonderful babysitters. We have used Sitter connection for several years now and have loved each of the sitters that we have had in our home.
