💙 Loved by Frederick Families 💙

A few kind words from the families we've been honored to serve.

  • "I reached out to Mindy for a last minute booking and she came through with a lovely provider, Di. Di played with my kids and has a kind, patient presence. We’re using them again in June for some after school care… Mindy makes the process easy so it’s one less thing on my plate! Highly recommend!"

  • "On Call Grandma is amazing. Everyone is so sweet and helpful. It doesn’t feel like a babysitter, they are like family."

    —Danielle

  • "Very easy to set up and the providers were a natural fit. We had a happy baby for the two days we needed coverage! Thank you!"

    —Melanie

  • "On-Call Grandma was a lifesaver when I needed someone to care for my three children on short notice. My children were well cared for and had nothing but great things to say about the sitters that they were with! I will definitely be using their service again!"

    —Melissa

  • "Admittedly, I was nervous about using On-Call Grandma, but was very pleased with my experience. I needed in-home care for my infant while I was on a virtual meeting and was able to book a caregiver a day before care was needed. The caretaker, Sue, was punctual, extremely pleasant and was great with my infant. I requested an extra hour for me to get to know her before my meeting started, which made me feel comfortable. The owner, Mindy, was very responsive to my questions beforehand, which I appreciate. I definitely plan to use On-Call Grandma again and am happy that a service like this for parents who don't need full-time care exists."

    —Frederick Mom

  • "I came across On Call Grandma while scrolling on Instagram one day, and it was honestly the answer to all of my problems. This past winter was incredibly challenging for my husband and me. As working parents with fast-paced jobs, trying to keep up with work demands while managing a toddler who caught every single minor illness going around daycare was exhausting and felt nearly impossible. That is where Mindy from On Call Grandma and came in and completely saved the day, matching my family with Melissa. Melissa has been such a warm and genuinely loving caregiver—the kind of person who instantly puts you at ease the moment she walks through the door. Knowing our little one was safe, happy, and loved allowed us to actually focus on our jobs without guilt. If you are a working parent trying to survive the daycare germ gauntlet, do yourself a favor and reach out to them!"

  • We fully recommend On call Grandma. We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Miss Melissa this week! She was incredibly caring, fun, and made my kids so happy. On top of being punctual, reliable, and a great communicator, she even surprised us by baking delicious Spanish magdalenas with the kids—such a sweet touch! We will definitely be using this service for before-and-after school care, as well as anytime we travel. Highly recommend!

  • On-call grandma has been absolutely amazing in morning care for our son. Not only are they wonderful administratively, but they care so deeply for your child. Sue and Mindy have watched our son and they are wonderful in connecting with his interests and bringing so much fun to his day. On the parent end, they are fantastic about scheduling, understanding the needs of your child, and asking thoughtful questions in wanting to make sure they implement your home values and ideologies to have continuity in care. We are so thankful to have found them for child care and feel like they care for our child as their own. 1000/10 recommend!!
