About Us
Nicole Willis, owner of Party Sitters, LLC, has a love for children and understands why kids just need to be kids. As a mother of three, she understands the quality care parents and guardians look for in a sitter. She also understands how hard it is for adults to share their time between caring for their children and having fun at an event. So she set out on a quest to find a solution that would benefit everyone, especially the children... Party Sitters!
