Hello Nicole,
My name is Melyna Hernandez and I am one of the founders of The Bronx BabySitters. We are a babysitting service in the South Bronx.
I found your website through Erin, creater of boogiedowner. I wanted to forward my information to you and all the Moms that read your Blog.
The Bronx BabySitters was started because we heard many mothers say how sometimes they can’t find anyone to
take care of their children during the evenings or on weekends. Its hard for some to find last minute sitters or enjoy a nice evening out on the town without having to worry about the baby. To solve this small yet important problem we figured why not have a realiable Babysitter in the neighborhood.
Veronica Diaz and I are usually at home in the evenings and weekends and would like to make ourselves available to all Bronx Moms. Our rates are very affordable and we are located in the South Bronx for your convenience.
I have included our contact information as well as a small blog with details on our services. We try to keep the site updated as often as we can; showing our availability as well as references and other useful information.
