Families local to you love Sitters Families local to you love Sitters First time I was using sitters. Colleen arrived early and presented her ID on arrival. She was friendly to the kids (aged 7 and 3). She spoke about her experience providing childcare services and I could see she loved this job and takes it very seriously. She enquired about any medications, allergies or any information she needed to know. I found her quite pleasant and so did my kids. All in all, it was a good experience and I definitely recommend Colleen as a babysitter.
