Provided by YP.comOur son was born in late 2005, and daughter in early 2008 (premature birth - very scary!). Both my wife and I were first-time parents, and we didn't have a clue. My wife had to return to work soon after each birth, so we called Jack and Jill Sitting services. We've been with them for years, and they're great!
Here's some of the main reasons I like J&J (will also explain in detail later):
- They provide expert newborn / infant care, no worries, no waiting list.
- They come to you, providing care in the convenience of your residence.
- If you're a regular customer, they provide sick care for your kids, allowing
you to go to work as necessary.
- Unlike daycare centers, you only pay J&J for the time they're providing care
for your children.
- They have excellent coverage. Whenever I call (even on short notice) they've
always found a care provider for us.
- They're economical. We found it was MUCH less expensive to have J&J
watch our 2 kids then the daycare, which would have charged almost twice the
cost. J&J is only slightly higher for 2 kids than 1 (only a few dollars more per hr).
- You can call them anytime (651-429-2963)... 365 days a year, 24 hours / day. It's
not an answering machine (or service); You'll speak with Sheri, the owner!!!
The J&J ladies (fully screened, responsible adult females) come to you, and watch your kids right in the comfort of your own home. Before we called Jack and Jill, we spoke to many daycare centers. There's usually very limited space at daycare centers for newborns - often you have to be put on a waiting list. That's not a problem for Jack and Jill: They're sitting in your home, therefore ALWAYS AVAILABLE to care for your newborn.
Also, If your baby gets sick, you think the daycare center will accept a sick child? Think again! When you're taking your children to a daycare center, when your child is sick you'll also need to take the day off from work. Jack and Jill ladies have been there for us, even when our kids are sick.
As mentioned above, J&J has flexible scheduling, and you only pay J&J for the time they're actually with your children. This is a big convenience (and money saver!). When investigating child care centers (before we started with J&J), I discovered day care centers charge for their holidays / time off (when they're not even watching your children). Daycare centers have strict, set hours, so you'll be paying for a lot of time you don't use if you work irregular hours... Also, when your child is sick (and you need to stay home from work and provide care), you'll still need to pay the daycare center for that day. Not with J&J!!!
I really can't say enough about the great experience I've had using Jack and Jill Sitting services. We've generally used the same ladies over the years (a total of 3 different ladies over a 5 year period - the sitters have bonded with our kids, and vice versa).They arrive early, leaving us plenty of time to get to work or whatever we're doing. The nice thing is, using J&J has completely removed daycare / babysitting as an issue for us as a family - we just call J&J, Sheri scedules the appropriate person, and we don't have to think about it again - problem solved!
Thanks J&J, for all the years of great service you've provided for us.
