Testimonials

"The kids loved Molly and I think Molly loved the kids! Great match! They did incredibly fun projects together like creating a Leprechaun Trap. Molly is so creative and playful with the kids and we'd love to have her back soon!"

"This is a dream gig. Parents are super nice, had snacks for me, and got me an Uber home. Really cute, talkative, silly kids. They also rocked the bedtime routine. Their dog is also a literal angel!!"

"I walked into everyone wishing me a Happy Birthday! The kids drew me an adorable birthday picture, they bought cupcakes & cookies, AND had me order food that they treated me to! This family rules."

"Daisy was very communicative- she let us know when she was on our way and texted us a few updates throughout the night. She was very friendly and comfortable with our kids, which put us at ease. The next morning I asked my toddler how it went and he said “I miss Daisy. I wanna go to Daisy’s house.” So she was a hit with our kids too!"

"Meredith was on time, very friendly and helpful as soon as she arrived, and brought a great energy with her. My son had a great time and even when he would get a little upset realizing we weren't there, Meredith was able to keep him engaged and happy. He even went down to sleep without any tears!"

"Such sweet kids who are wonderful listeners! Mom and dad allowed a little bit of tv after dinner and the kids had no problem when I said it was time to turn it off or get ready for bed. Mom walked me to my car at the end of the night so make sure I got in safely which was so kind!"

"Nay really made my daughter feel special. Such loving energy. We knew the baby was in good hands with them too. And then my poor baby threw up and they handled it like a total champ. We would love to be matched with Nay as often as possible!"

"The day after Marie babysat, my oldest asked if she could come on vacation with us. That says it all. She's a great communicator and I trust her with our family and in our home."

"Kaitlin came right in and matched my son's energy, following him around and listening to all the everything he wanted to share with her! She was direct with him at bedtime and made sure he didn't cross boundaries. He loved his time with her, too!"

"As soon as I arrived, mom gave me a full tour of the house which was very much appreciated. I told mom that I was planning to bring some games with me in case the kids would be interested, and she offered to reimburse me for anything I would need to buy. Not necessary but I really appreciated her offering! I would love to work with this family again!"

"These girls were sweethearts. They have an amazing bedtime routine in place. This family is exxxxtra amazing. So kind and informative!"

"Our daughter is a very social kid and instantly susses people out. Alexa was warm and kind from the start so our daughter instantly warmed up to her and didn’t have any anxiety when we left. Alexa engaged with her and they played all kinds of make believe games. Our daughter was fed, well cared for and had a blast!"

"These kids are as sweet as can be, and the parents treated me like a VIP! I'd be honored to come back here. They ordered me an uber and made me dinner - 10/10!"

"Very sweet family and kiddo! Little man is adorable and pretty independent, parents are VERY clear on everything and have so many ideas for what to do if he gets fussy at all (he didn’t at all though!). LOVED them. Definitely new favorite (and can't wait to meet the new baby!)."

"Ellen sat for us after our son had had a very long and tiring day. We appreciated that she was fine with just allowing him to set the pace and be chill. He was probably overly tired and emotional and she comforted him which we all appreciated! We would love for Ellen to sit for us again!"

"Our daughter had such a fun time hanging out with Zoë! Zoë engaged with her right after initial intros and got right into playing. Great with communications while we were out. Amazing experience all around!"

"Sydney is defintely a top pick for us. I appreciate when sitters reach out beforehand and she was extremely proactive in doing so. She was also flexible and totally understanding that our house was a bit messier than usual due to construction. She is confident, punctual, patient, and so loving with our son. I had zero concerns about leaving the house."

"Teddy is a dream! He is very used to having Sitters and he is so much fun to play with. Mom warned me that he doesn't like having to wake up from his nap, and boy oh boy was that true (so glad she told me!). Offering to paint helped him come out of it. Also, Mom sent money for us to get Starbucks, and their nanny has a fantastic routine written out for sitters. AMAZING family!"

"Anna was wonderful. She was very friendly and immediately engaged with the kids. The next day they wanted to know when she was coming back and every time we have a sitter they ask if Anna is coming. She’s amazing!"

"Lisset was so great! Our daughter was nervous, but Lisset's calm, friendly demeanor put her at-ease so quickly. Our daughter happily waved good-bye to us and went back to playing with Lisset before we were out the door. Lisset seemed confident and happy, and all went well. We look forward to having her back in a couple weeks!"

"These are the most welcoming parents. I love this family so much. I completely connected with both Mom and dad as well as their little ones! I love the whole family. They are a dream to work with!"

"If my son starts to show his toys off right away, he’s into you and this was defintely the case. He woke up asking for “my Ellie”. She put him to bed with ease, she took instruction well and they seemed to be having fun before I even left. Very happy with this match!"

"Emma was fantastic and handled our chaos like a champ! Really appreciate her demeanor and attention to detail."

"We were a little nervous with a temporary recurring placement after our recurring placement with another sitter unexpectedly ended. Anna jumped right in, asked a lot of questions, and really took the time to get to know each of our twins and their different preferences/behavior. She has been so great to work with and we’re so sad to see her go."

"Just such a lovely family! Mom and dad were super nice, very chill. These girls absolutely amazing. So nice and smart and funny, we played board games and chatted for the whole evening! I had so much fun with all three of them, they played together so well! Great fam."

"Kids had a really fun time with Amy - she was creative to come up with a calming activity before bed, too, which was such a great idea. We really appreciate her stepping in to babysit at the last minute when our previous sitter got sick!"

"The family and Evie were great! They paid me more than the listed rate, gave me a parking voucher, and said I could have anything in the fridge. Super great family and kiddo was so fun. Hope to go back soon!"

"Marissa is my favorite super sitter! She was so sweet and funny. I immediately felt comfortable with her taking care of the kids and they had a great time with her. We would definitely love her to come back."

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would love to highly recommend Tori and Chicago Super Sitters to anyone considering reputable care for their children. Tori is an expert in field, specifically the Chicago market and she takes her role seriously. She is diligent about her process, thoughtful, detailed and gets the job done. As a local agency owner and mom myself, I know I'm in great hands when reaching out to CSS! I refer all of my own clients there. I appreciate the lengths they in their searches and vetting process and I'm consistently impressed. Thank you, Tori and CSS!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our sitter Chrissie was AMAZING! She was so understanding when our hotel changed last minute, who knew they overbooked  hotels. And she still showed up on time. She kept us updated with photos throughout and didn't make a big fuss when we were 15 minutes late on our return. Thanks again for finding us such a great sitter. It was so nice to have a relaxing worry free date night.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have aged out of needing CSS but I wanted to come on and thank Tori and the MANY outstanding sitters we have worked with since CSS started, which was about the same time our kid was born. With both parents working outside the home (no remote work pre-COVID) and no family in town, CSS has been both a lifeline and a partner for our family. We have used them for many date nights, care when we needed to go to work and our child was getting over a cold, and even to entertain our kid during spring breaks when we had to work. The sitters all have been outstanding, it's been a pleasure getting to know so many in the creative arts. Tori and team have been responsive and a pleasure to work with. It's been exciting to see CSS grow but I never felt the quality of the sitters has been anything less than super. Thank you, Tori and team!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am a former teacher who has worked on-and-off with CSS since 2015.  I have nothing but kind words for Tori and Chicago Super Sitters.

Working with children has always brought me joy, but sometimes my schedule does not allow me to provide childcare as often as I would like.  Thankfully, the way CSS is setup, I can do babysitting gigs on days and times that suit my schedule.

The families I have worked with have been wonderful and I know that Tori has my back should something go awry.  It's great to feel supported by the team at Chicago Super Sitters.  Their backing frees me up to focus on making my babysitting gigs memorable for the kiddos which benefits everyone involved.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've been very happy with our experience using CSS! We've had five or six different sitters at this point and they've all been terrific with our little boy. The one time we had a cancellation, the agency found someone equally great to fill in right away. The booking process is smooth and easy, and everyone I've interacted with there has been very kind.
