I would give this company NO stars if that was an option. IF you care about your children, you will NEVER use this company. This is going to be lengthy, and for good reason, so I completely encourage you to READ EVERYTHING as it's imperative to the SAFETY of your children!
1. Arranging the babysitting appointment. That went well. She contacted me twice to set up the appointment and to make sure that we were all set up with our appointment. Which would be for over 9 hours while we attended a wedding. The babysitter, JACKIE R, would be in charge of my daughter: 13 months, and my friends son, 2.5 years old.
2. Jackie showed up at our hotel. All seemed fine. We went to the wedding ceremony, and an hour and a half later, I sent my husband up, as Jackie was not responding to my texts. My husband walked in and Jackie said, "oh your daughter bit him (pointing at the 2.5 year old), and I gave them a bath because she was swimming in the toilet." Needless to say, she could completely die if she was to fall in the toilet. Also, she has NEVER bit anyone. But okay, he gave her the benefit of the doubt; there's a first for everything. He left. Came back to the wedding and told us that things seemed "weird". My friends husband then went up 10 minutes later as he was uneasy. He found Jackie in bed watching Tv, and she said "this is great, I don't have TV at home...I am just catching up on Bravo." The 2.5 year old was on his iPad and my daughter was staring at the TV. He immediately came down to the wedding and said, "she's high. Something is up." My friend and I literally ran upstairs.
3. We immediately sent her home as she was co-sleeping with my daughter, under the covers, and almost asleep with her (there was a crib set up for her.) She was in and out of it, and seemed to be high, possibly on pills. After she left we inspected the 2.5 year old and he said he fell not that my daughter had bit him!!!!! Now, he could have made that up. However, none of the stories added up. I then went to wake up my daughter as she ODDLY didn't wake up with all the commotion. SHE WOULD NOT WAKE UP. She was extremely lethargic. I have transported my daughter several times from crib to home, etc and this is NOT her behavior. We had to throw water on her to wake her up after 2 minutes. We called Jackie at that point to ask her if anything strange happened. She denied anything strange. We called our pediatrician and she, of course without seeing our daughter, said it sounded like she had been given something. I then called Kirsten and told her to call me immediately. I received an email at 2am with her defending Jackie (Jackie had obviously called her and had heard NONE of the story from us.)
4. It has been 4 days and after several emails and phone calls with acute details of the incident, she has yet to get back to us. Both moms missed the wedding as we were monitoring our children.
5. We feel lucky that nothing worse happened to our precious children. This business should not be operational. And the COMPLETE lack of caring as to what actually happened to our children is UNFORGIVABLE.
6. CPS and BBB will be formally involved!

Basically all the reviews are either 1 star or 5 stars.
Seems very suspicious.
