What parents are saying
Super smooth and easy
It was great. Super smooth and easy. Our sitter asked great questions to ensure she had access to neighbors in case she couldn't reach us. Very thoughtful. We will definitely use Otter again!
It was perfect
I’m very happy with everything and will be booking again soon. My daughter adored her sitter from the first second! And she was sound asleep when I got home. It was perfect.
The kids had a great time
The kids had a great time. Our sitter handled everything in a very professional and responsible manner, at the same time authentically having a good time with the kids.
