I love Baby Sitters' Guild!

by ryannkelley at Citysearch

I travel to NYC at least once a year with my child. I am very picky about the quality of his care and I was hesitant to leave him with a stranger in a strange city. Baby Sitter's Guild has put me totally at ease and I can't think of using anyone else when I'm in town. The sitter's are always punctual, professional and capable. In fact, I just returned from a trip and had a sitter keep my son for a large amount of time over two days. Instead of sitting around my hotel room, the sitter took him to a children's museum and Central Park. He had a blast. And, just as important, I didn't worry about him one bit while he was out.

Great Babby Sitter In NYC During my meetings

by gbaksi at Citysearch

Took daugther on recent trip to NYC while I was on business. Sitter was young, smart, and capable. Needed no diretion and managed changes in plans. Allowed me to focus on pitch. Daughter was in great mood and happy when we reunited. Will use them again for sure.

Not Happy

by travelswithkids at Citysearch

Was surprised that sitter did not have the qualifications/certificates I was expecting. She did not play with the kids. She was not licensed or bonded--I believe that there is no license except the city business license, so I feel that I was misled by the agency claiming to be "licensed!"

  • Pros: none
  • Cons: completely misled by the agency

Exellent! I use them every time I come to New York!

by Bridgetann at Citysearch

The baby sitter Guild is amazing!! My husband and I travel a lot for work and I use the Baby sitters Guild every time I travel to New York. I was introduced to them by a friend and I have used them ever since. All of the sitters are trust worthy, friendly, and always on time. The really know how to handle children. It is such a relieve to know that my children are in good hands while working in a foreign city. And speaking of foreign they have many baby sitters on staff that speaks several different languages!

Sitter yelled at my kids!

by jessica1963 at Citysearch

We stayed at a 5 stars hotel on our vacation to NYC and we expected the sitter to be top notch too! Not the case!

She arrived late and gave us the reason that she had a previous job where the family came back later than supposed. I don't see why that should be my problem , paying the rate that I did.

The next day my older daughter told us she hoped to never get a babysitter again because the lady was mean, yelled at her little sister and left her alone in the bedroom to cry.

We will never use this agency again.
