Amy, Upper East Side, Mama of 1
“I tell people all the time that I cannot imagine parenting without BFC. In an unreliable world, being able to count on having lovely, fun and experienced childcare with very little notice is an amazing gift!”...

Laura, Upper East Side, Mama of 1
“We absolutely love and trust Bell Family Company for all of our babysitting services. As a first time mom, navigating parenthood with ease and peace of mind using the qualified sitters from Bell Family Company has been a welcomed relief. Our daughter has loved all of the sitters and I love that I never have to scramble to find a sitter myself – I just leave the work to Bell Family Company!”...

Allie, Upper West Side, Mama of 2
“Bell Family Company has been a lifesaver for our family! All of the sitters are experienced, personal, and patient with our kids. They have been able to turn around coverage for us very quickly and we always feel safe and happy with the sitters in their network.”...

Laura, Armonk, NY, Mama of 1
“Since joining BFC, I've been very impressed with the communication on both the booking side and with each of the sitters we've worked with. Everyone has been responsive and kind, which has put me at ease when trying to find a sitter and ultimately leaving my daughter with one. I'd recommend this service to any new mom. I am so glad we're part of the BFC family.”...

Jeffrey, Chelsea, Dad of 1

Brandon, Upper West Side, Dad of 3

Rebecca, , Small Business Owner hosted a KidZone at a family centric event
“The KidZone worked out perfectly! I will definitely be coming back to book more sitters. The three women BFC sent were fantastic and kind!”

Megan, Sag Harbor, Mama of 2
“We are very happy with the nanny Bell Family Company found for us. We had a quick turnaround from when we began our search to when we needed someone to start and they found us someone amazing so quickly! It really worked out well!”...

Colleen, Bronxville, Mama of 2
“I had a great experience working with BFC – Their team is very professional, polished, and responsive to your needs. I felt like they really listened to my specific requests/needs and only sent me candidates who truly fit the bill. Everyone we interviewed was smart, mature, and responsible - the agency is doing all the legwork and vetting so you know that you're only spending time meeting the most qualified people. We're very happy with the nanny we hired and she's a perfect fit for our family. I'd absolutely recommend the agency to anyone looking to meet highly qualified nannies and sitters without all the legwork and hassle!”...

Erin, Tribeca, Mama of 3
“All of the young women that Bell Family Company sends my way impress me. They are usually coming into an evening with lots of moving pieces and without fail, manage with grace! She has some real gems in her sitter arsenal, but I need to tell you moms out there how impressed (and appreciative) I was last night. It means EVERYTHING to be able to leave my children in the care of such capable women.”...

Cissie, Upper West Sid, Mama of 2
“I’m not sure what we would have done without Lindsay! We had worked with another agency last fall and the difference in experience was night and day. We were very impressed with the quality of candidates Lindsay sent us, as well as with her judgement as to who would be a good fit for us. Thankfully, she encouraged us a few times when we weren’t convinced because I think she knew our needs better than we did!”...

Sarah, Upper East Side, Mama of 4
“Having worked with many household staffing agencies on several searches in the past, it was really refreshing to work with someone as knowledgeable and patient as BFC. Finding a great nanny for four young kids (including twin toddlers) is no small feat. Tammy really listened to us about our needs and didn’t stop searching until we found the right person. She didn’t send me fifty resumes of people that weren’t right for us — she curated the candidates and only sent me the few she thought were right for the job and for our family. Moreover, once we found the right person, Tammy didn’t disappear — she made herself available to us and helped us figure out how to divide responsibilities among everyone in our house to make sure that no one felt overwhelmed. Though I hope our nanny never leaves, Bell Family Company will be my first call if she does!”...

Greta, West Village, Mama of 2
“Everything was great! I appreciated the quick, thoughtful responses the BFC team provided. Most nanny candidates we met spoke SO highly of Bell Family Company – completely unsolicited. They said the BFC team was a mark above the rest of the agencies from their side of the equation. It was nice to hear that BFC is being so respectful to all parties; it’s the key to this sort of matchmaking.”...

Brooke, Upper East Side, Mama of 1
“We went through three nanny agencies before we found BFC and thank goodness we did! They were an amazing breath of fresh air and a godsend for our family. They took the time to educate us on the process and really helped narrow down what we needed. In a couple of days, they were showing us video interviews of potential nannies (boy, that was convenient) and her team arranged in-person meetings and trials for us. What an amazing resource they are – we are so thrilled to have been able to work with them.”...

Jacqueline, Tribeca, Mama of 1
“I wanted to send a giant thank you for your kindness, incredible and fast help, and your reliable services always. We have LOVED every Bell experience thus far (and we still have a couple more months of using you all!), and we'd also be happy to provide a reference call to any prospective families signing on with you. P.S. Dazlyn was fantastic with my baby today. We so appreciate all of your help as always.”...

Ofir, Union Square, Mama of 2
“I do have to say this is one of the best subscriptions we've had! The on-demand sitter service was amazing and you guys are just doing an awesome job! I have no idea what we're going to do without it when we move away (but then again, there won't be as many places to go out to at night).Thank you very much for this wonderful year!”...

Jennifer, Brooklyn Heights,, Mama of 1
“Kristin was an outstanding sitter and we feel very lucky to have had her. My daughter is going through a period of intense separation anxiety (to the point that just my leaving the room upsets her), and I was so impressed by the way that Kristin was able to meet her where she was. It can be hard to strike a balance between taking the lead and following the child's lead in that situation, but Kristin did this perfectly, not trying to redirect her to other activities until she was ready. If nothing else, the fact that Kristin has been our only babysitter so far who has managed to get Alexandra to eat her dinner is a testament to her incredible attunement to young children. It also made us so happy to hear that, despite a rough start, Kristin seemed to genuinely enjoy the time she spent with Alexandra.”...
