Hiring Gal Azulay as a babysitter was a great decision. She's incredibly sweet and her ability to speak three languages impressed me. The level of creativity she brought into the activities with my 3-year-old was fantastic, and she had an intuitive understanding of my child's needs, from hunger cues to diaper changes. What stood out was her commitment; she even checked in on us two days later, which showed how much my daughter meant to her. Gal arrived early, prepared but didn't need to drive us anywhere, which worked out perfectly. I could work remotely without any interruptions while Gal kept my daughter engaged with playing, dancing, singing, and story-reading from 10 AM to 5 PM.

Gal Azulay has been a fantastic babysitter for my kids on the occasions we've needed her services. We know each other from synagogue and her warm, caring nature with children there is exactly what led me to hire her. My kids took to her quickly; they really enjoyed having Gal around because she paid attention to their interests and gently guided them on tidying up after playtime. What stands out most is Gal's reliability and communication—she's always on time, but if there's ever a delay due to traffic, she makes sure to keep me informed. I feel so comfortable with her judgment that I trust her completely with my kids, even for Uber rides. Highly recommend Gal if you're looking for a responsible and attentive babysitter.

I had Gal Azulay babysit my 6 and 8-year-old kids for full days, and honestly, she was amazing. She wasn't just a sitter; she turned those days into adventures—taking the kids bowling, to the mall, or to quantum parks. Her ability to handle morning routines was a lifesaver, especially when she'd pick them up from school or prepare their lunches. The fact that she speaks both English and Hebrew was incredibly helpful since those are the languages we speak at home. Plus, her gentle way of dealing with moments when they missed me showed how kind and patient she is. Gal's always smiling—her personality really is something special—and I appreciated her delicate approach with my children.

Why we created Locallista?

As expats, we understand how overwhelming it can be to settle into a new city, where even simple tasks become difficult without a network, complicated by language barriers and cultural differences. That’s why we created Locallista — a closed platform where expats connect with trusted service providers recommended by the community, ensuring clear communication in English or their native languages, making life easier.
