P&E Babysitting

We hired P&E Babysitting for a pop-​up babysitting center for our wedding for our out of town guests. They were the perfect solution. Both babysitters were extremely professional and a blessing, taking on 5 infants so that we and our guests could rest assured that the little ones were well taken care of during the celebrations. Highly recommend!

P&E was an amazing find! The sitters are friendly, professional, and our clingy at times daughter warms right up to them. It is such a comfort knowing that if something comes up during the day or night that we need a babysitter for, that P&E will be there. We used to use them as our back-​up sitters, but due to the ease, professionalism, and how much our daughter likes them, they are now our go to choice.

We started using P&E when our son was about 2 weeks old. First, a few weeks for overnight care so that we could get sleep. Second, once our son was on more of a schedule, about 15 hours a week of daytime. We mostly had the same sitter, Natalia, though Portia filled in a few times and Kim sat twice on the weekend. All three ladies are absolutely wonderful!
One I went back to work, we put my son in daycare. However, we quickly realized it wasn’t our ideal situation. I hated seeing him at four months old being juggled around by several different caretakers each week, suffering from a nasty cold the entire first month, etc. I understand daycare has its benefits as well, but I decided to call Portia to see whether anyone could fit the hours we needed. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that she did have someone in mind – herself! – and that the hours worked perfectly with her schedule. The best thing is that I work from home, so I can see my son in between appointments and know that he is being cared for very well.
I also appreciate that Portia will make suggestions involving sleep-​training, scheduling, feeding, etc. As a first-​time mom, I’m always trying to sort through the conflicting information out there. It’s nice to have someone else with experience (but not the nosiness/​pushiness of a family member!) to offer opinions and observations.
In general, Portia is professional, responsive, and reliable and my son is very happy to see her every day.

We struck gold when we discovered P and E Babysitting comprised of Portia and her team of sitters close to 3 years ago. We feel confident that our boys are in great hands even when on a rare occurrence we get a new sitter. Our boys particularly like Chastity and Lawren. Whether I need coverage for a workday, night-​time or weekend, I know my best shot is with P and E Babysitting as for reliability as well as quality responsible service.

I’ve relied heavily on P&E for back-​up child care over the past 3 years — often needed that same day. Portia has been a pleasure to work with and very helpful. The sitters have all been fantastic, responsible, and my children loved playing with them.

We have been using P&E Babysitting for over two years now, and have been very happy with the experience. We’ve used many of Portia’s babysitters, and they have all been very responsible and experienced child care providers. Portia is always very responsive to requests for sitters and other questions, and we’ve always been able to get a sitter when we need one.
