"Wonderful return experience working with Motor City Sitters. We hired 2 of their sitters for a wedding at the Detroit Institute of Arts. The owner arrived onsite with the sitters to ensure a smooth transition. They brought bins of activities to keep the children occupied all night long. They helped feed the kids meals, they were enthusiast and the kids looked to be having a great time all night! It allowed their parents to have fun dancing the night away at the wedding and we felt confident the kids were in safe hands. Will definitely be contracting again in the future for events."

Motor City Sitters found the perfect sitter for us. Our sitter helped build confidence in my shy son and he was soon playing with her. He loved having her here. Paying is easy and can be done online. Arranging more dates was quick and smooth. It feels like a very personal service and works well for us. I highly recommend using them.
