The Belle Method is founder-led by Lyla Belle Sopel and supported by carefully selected caregivers trained in The Belle Method’s standards for attentive, responsive, and professionally documented care. Families may choose to work directly with Lyla, based on availability, or may be matched with a trusted member of the Belle Method care team.

Trusted by Families Through Their Most Important Nights
Pease Family | Sleep Support for 9-Month-Old & 3-Year-Old
“Seeking care from Care.com always makes me nervous, but I could not have dreamed up a better experience with Lyla. She made me feel at ease from the initial phone call. Her communication was consistent, her notes more thorough than I could have imagined, and she was able to build a foundation of trust with our 3-year-old almost immediately. Our 9-month-old is now sleeping through the night in his crib, and our 3-year-old is falling asleep sooner. Hands down the best experience of care we have had with our kids.”
Amy W. | Overnight Newborn Care
“Lyla has been an incredible help with our newborn baby. We used her for several weeks at night twice a week to care for our daughter and give my husband and I a break during the newborn phase, and we have absolutely no regrets. She has great communication, is very reliable, trustworthy, and great with both kids and babies. Would hire her again anytime!”
Cait O. | Care for 1-Year-Old Son
“Lyla has been a wonderful babysitter for our 1-year-old son. Her warmth and genuine love for children are evident in how our son lights up when he sees her. She consistently engages him with fun, educational activities and handles all his needs with patience and care. Her reliability and trustworthiness give us peace of mind every time she is with our son.”
