It great my wife and I are actually dating again! Thank-you for providing us with Jennifer and Annette our children love them.”

“I have found THE BEST sitters in all my years as a parent through CanadianSitter!”
-Kaz, Vancouver, BC

“This is an awesome site, and I have recommended it to tons of moms. So hopefully they have registered too. We have had successful sitters, with a couple of sitters that I would not recommend to anyone. But overall I would have to rate this site as 95%. Thank you, and keep up the good work.”
- Carmen, Calgary, Ab

“Have you considered advertising in travel magazine? I travel with my job and I have found sitters in three different cities through your service. Before your service I was not able to travel with my 2 year old son-now I can. Just an idea!”
- Cindy, Edmonton, AB

“Thanks for the offer to extend my account with you. At this point I''m going to let my account expire as I''ve been able to find an excellent baby sitter with your help. I was very happy with your site and will recommend it to anyone looking for a sitter or a nanny.”
- Laureen, Winnipeg, MB

“We have found two great sitters and have had calls from many more! Great experience... even for short notice!”
- Tina, Calgary, AB

“We were looking for a back-up care provider for our permanent partial-week nanny (who we found through Canadian Nanny). We used to rely on friends as a back-up, but with one returning to work and another having a baby, we no longer have that option. However, we hadn’t been successful finding a back-up care provider through the classifieds. When our regular nanny called on Sunday to say she was sick and couldn’t come to work Tuesday, I went on the Canadian Sitter website, registered, and contacted two candidates. I was able to meet them both on the Monday, choose one and have her come Tuesday for a trail day while I worked from home most of the day. Thanks for helping to provide an immediate solution.”
- Susan, Oakville, ON

“I have had much success with many replies from lots of great candidates for babysitting. I have 4 kids and one of them is a newborn, so finding a babysitter with lots of experience has been important. It has also been great being able to communicate with the babysitters through email. Thank-you and keep up the great work.”
-Sandra, Montreal, QC

“The sitter that we found through your site is studying to be a chef at college. Now when she comes over she does a fun cooking activity with our 5 year old daughter Sara. Sara is our only child. Ashley has become like a big sister to her.”
- Anna, Calgary, AB

“The site is a godsend. We are like a lot of people that don’t have extended family living nearby. We found a wonderful Langara College student who has been coming to our home three times a week for the past three months. Thank-you.”
-Tony, Burnaby, BC

“I think this is a great site, and have recommended it to several friends. The site is well organized and easy to use. And it provides an important service for busy parents. My experience with the site and the sitters I''ve contacted has been entirely positive.”
- Lauren, Ottawa, ON

“Our son Steven is 4 years old and has Down Syndrome. We have placed ads in the paper and posted ads at our church, with little response. Through your service we were able to find Susan who is a resource teacher. She actually answered our ad because she wanted to gain experience with a child with DS. They have developed a very strong relationship.”
- Katherine W., Mississauga, ON

“I think you''re providing a valuable service. We found Kelly through your website and she is absolutely fabulous. As we prepare for our move to Markham in December, we are assured that your database is at our disposal should we need to search for another sitter.”
- Ann, Toronto, ON

“This is a wonderful service, and has taken a huge burden off my shoulders (finding a babysitter with our odd hrs of work)”
- Jill, Victoria, BC

“We had some doubts when we joined. We had never used an on line service before. But now I am happy to say that we have a great babysitter that has a nursing background and a back up babysitter that is her friend. Due to our son’s special needs we have not been able to leave him with anyone (not even family). We have referred your service to many of our friends.”
-Shelley, Vancouver, BC

“I did end up posting a job. I''ve used Canadian Sitter before and it has been really terrific. I hired a wonderful sitter named Melissa. She was part of our lives for 2 years and my daughter just loves her. She has finished University now and moved back to her hometown, but still visits at Christmas. Melissa was dependable, a great tutor, responsible and a really nice person. She taught my daughter how to sew (I can''t thread a needle) and they had great times together. I''m looking for another sitter short-term now and seem to have a few really good possibilities. Your service is terrific and really works well in a University town. Everyone I''ve ever seen on the service has been from Trent University - so if you are advertising there it is working.”
- Darlene, Peterborough, ON

“Two trials, two French speaking babysitters, each time a great success!”
- Tiphaine, Toronto, ON

“YES! I have found the perfect sitter for our family, we are very happy! Thanks CanadianSitter for all your help!”
- Julie, Calgary, AB

“I will not be extending my CanadianSitter account, but, rest assured, it is not because I am a dissatisfied customer. I was on your site for a few weeks and I accomplished my goal...found a fabulous part-time sitter. I think the service you offer is a brilliant alternative to extortionate nanny agencies. I get access to all the information and I have control over how applicants are screened. I will definitely use the service again, and I have already recommended it to several people.”
- Vivian, Victoria, BC

“Great customer service! Thank you so much for being so warm and kind on the telephone. It was so nice to receive an understanding ear about the nanny/sitter issues. Your company took a very proactive approach to the problems at hand.”
- Marcia, Oakville, ON

“Great site! I found a sitter that my children love. I totally trust her, and my son and daughter look forward to her coming to look after them. She is away for the summer so I am looking for a back up. I recommend this site to my friends!”
- Brandi, Victoria, BC

“You guys should brag about your customer service – it’s a rarity to find good personal service like this in an online world!”
- Tracy, Edmonton, AB
