We were nervous and anxious about whether it was the right decision. As soon as I met Kit, I realised it was. She demonstrated affability, friendliness, and care for our son. She also has a spark that led me to know, my son will be in good hands. Thank you very much for your care."

Thank you !"

So thank you."

"We were so grateful to Chris taking on this booking at such short notice when another Sitter cancelled. She was a lovely calm lady, not phased at all by our lively children when she was feeling very tired! Our children really enjoyed their afternoon with Chris doing art, playing several games, and she was even happy to be taught some football skills by our son! Our children were sad to see her go. We would 100% recommend Chris, she was absolutely wonderful and we hope to have her again in the future."

"Tessa was brilliant! My son really liked her and said she so fun and played lots of games with him! He also said she sat outside his bedroom door (as I do when he first is drifting off) - which really put him at ease and he was able to fall asleep.

When my youngest woke up from her nap, Beth was gone already, and she was asking me when Beth will be back to play with her again."

"Corinne looked after my 3 children aged 8-12 for the day while I was at work. She arrived with games, played with them all day. My youngest two came bouncing to the door super excited to tell me what they'd been up to when I arrived home."

"Alena was great: early and responsive communication, on time, professional and well liked by my daughters. When we arrived home, one daughter was fast asleep (which was earlier than we manage) and the other daughter described Alena making her lots of marmalade toast. Plus she'd done the washing up and cleaned up perfectly from snacks. Thank you Alena!"

The girls said they liked her and would want her to look after them again, the ultimate praise! My eldest made me laugh, saying Melanie was enthusiastic about playing card games but misinterpreting the rules in her favour. Melanie D, sitter extraordinaire and card shark! Thank you Melanie for looking after my girls so well."

"Margaret was lovely with our 3 boys (3, 5 & 7). We had just arrived in London after a 24 hour flight and we were all exhausted. Margaret took the boys off our hands, kept them busy and even bought them some icy poles (as requested). They are very keen to have her back!"

Incredibly caring and sweet, was attentive to his needs and was conscious to keep note of the timings/guidance on his sleep/feeding routine. He had the biggest smile when I came back home from my appointment !We loved working with her."

"Sam literally changed my life. My child is 4 years old and as a widowed parent I have been the sole carer to my child full-time in the last for years. No one had ever put my child to bed, but Sam now has, and it has completely allowed me to enter a different phase in my life with my little one. Sam arrived on time, her communication throughout the entire process was so easy and straight forward. She was simply BRILLIANT, and words are not enough to explain my gratitude to her. If you have never left your child with a babysitter before and you happen to have Sam booked to do it for you for the first time, you are very lucky - you will be able to fully enjoy your day/evening knowing that your children are safe in the hands of a professional, competent and very kind lady. Thank you, Sam!"

"We were nervous about leaving our 17 month old daughter with a sitter for the first time, but Pamela made us feel so comfortable and made us feel completely at ease.

We would love to book Pamela again. She is friendly and her experience is evident."

"We have used Vicky to look after our children on numerous occasions and I can honestly say she is absolutely fantastic. She's experienced with kids and trained in first aid etc and a complete safe pair of hands. A calm and caring approach. I would recommend her to anyone!"

"Leonie was excellent turned up before time, made good contact and kept me up to date as she was looking after the kids, the kids had a great time and have already asked when Leonie is coming back again which is the best sign, thanks for a first time baby sitter user for leaving the best impression and greatest in confidence feeling the kids were ok."

"Very organised and trusworthy sitter with great experience. She was the first i met from this site and was quite nervous to leave little one with a stranger, but i could tell since the begining thats shes great with children. Even my husband said she is really great and hes very picky. Highly recommend her to anyone."

"Claudia was absolutely brilliant. She arrived on time and our one year old daughter loved her - playing together immediately and even wanting a bedtime cuddle.

We would definitely recommend Claudia and will book again. Thank you!"

"I am beyond impressed with Jackie's exceptional babysitting skills! Jackie arrived promptly. Not only is she reliable, but Jackie is also warm and lovely, creating a positive and nurturing environment for my kids.

My kids had a wonderful time with Jackie, and I highly recommend her to any parent seeking a caring and fun babysitter. Thank you again xxx."

Jess was absolutely lovely, and a natural with our daughter who asked this morning "When is Jess coming back?" Thank you so much."

We would most definitely recommend Clare and request for her to sit for us again! Thank you Clare!"

We are from California and were not sure how our kids would feel about a nanny in a different country but Gina immediately wiped out our concern. She was punctual, responsible, and professional. It's clear she has a lot of experience. She is a kind, sweet and caring person in nature and we definitely would love to ask her to take care of our kids again!"

They loved playing with her and she was communicative throughout. Would definitely recommend!"

"Lovely, genuine woman made me feel at ease as soon she turned up as this was my first time I was a bit worried, but I must say there was no reason for me to be as she was very good with my nine-year-old and my three-year-old listen to what needed to be done and how I do things, always reassuring I would recommend definitely."

"Sally was just brilliant with our girls! She played with them all afternoon and they had such a fun time doing colouring, playing pool and swimming in the hot tub. They absolutely loved their afternoon with Sally and we felt very relaxed leaving them with her, even though we didn't know her. We couldn't recommend her highly enough. Thank you, Sally!"

"Joanne was our first ever external babysitter for our daughter, and she was great. She came a little early to meet our daughter before she went to bed, and we were able to have a good chat which put our minds at ease. Our daughter did wake whilst we were out, but Joanne was able to settle her. Joanne was lovely, communicative and as an added bonus, our dog loved her. We'd be very happy to book Joanne again."

"Chris is a great sitter, she arrived on time and immediately adapted to the results of a family's restless night! She managed the daily routine, organised meals at the appropriate time, engaged with our little girl who had lots of fun and crafts and reading and play. Will definitely give her a call when next we need a sitter."

This was no easy task as our baby had just received the second round of jabs. Goksen is caring, kind, and we would love to have her back again!"

"Yasmin sat for my 11 and 6 year old daughters at short notice. As it was her first time meeting them she came early and armed with craft materials. They both absolutely loved Yasmin, and the next morning they couldn't wait to tell us what a great time they'd had!"

I could not recommend Selda more!"

"We had such a great experience with Carol ...she was absolutely fantastic with the children. They played some boardgames which Carol had very thoughtfully brought along, as we were staying in a hotel.

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Carol and we will definitely request her if we are back there again. A big thumbs up from our children! Many thanks."

She arrived and started playing games with him straight away and he was totally at ease and happy to play. She was so natural and fun it was very reassuring. She then took them to the park and they came back really happy. Yvonne gave me updates on how well they played and how she taught them how to swing/helped on the climbing frame. Felt really happy that they all had a great afternoon. Would recommend and book again. Thank you Yvonne."

Truly a wonderful individual to look after your child."

"Faiza was great from the moment she walked into our home. Our 5 year old little girl felt overwhelmed and quite shy at 1st, Faiza didn't take long to put her at complete ease in no time. This gave the family the reassurance we needed. I came back home to meet a very relaxed happy child, Faiza was amazing and just fit right in. Thanks again Faiza and hope to see you again soon :-)."

"Once again the children loved seeing Chantell and she was brilliant - she even came in World Book Day fancy dress! Chantell is very experienced, professional and confident - we love having her here with the children and they are very happy too!"

"What a pleasure to have Oteri babysit for us. She came in and immediately started singing to our 6 month old, who loved every second. She asked questions to get to know him and what he likes, and gave me updates throughout the evening. Fully recommend!"

"Thank you Imaarl, Our 10 & 11 year olds were apprehensive as we haven't had a sitter for ages, and you were brilliant. Both kids rated your board game ability and 'niceness'. Thank you for looking after them, checking without harassing them for bed and being good fun. You made our first night out in ages a lot less stressful. Much appreciated."

"Absolutely fabulous babysitter. Recommend with no hesitation. Tanya bonded with our daughter (6 1/2) within 30 seconds of coming through the front door. Kept her entertained, and put her to bed while we attended a birthday party. Tanya kindly kept us updated throughout. She's fab!"

"I asked the kids what they thought about Hewi, and they shouted "WE LOVE HEWI" and "HEWI'S GREAT" really loudly. That's the most you can ask for when you're looking for someone to look after your kids. Thanks, Hewi x."

"Chris has been taking care of our son for quite a few years now and I can confidently say, she is the only person I feel comfortable leaving him with, outside of family. She engages with him, spends quality time and now genuinely feels like part of the family. We are extremely grateful to have her support - our son looks forward to her "visits" because it's fun, it's stimulating, it's caring. I would not hesitate to recommend Chris - she loves and enjoys her job, which is very evident each time she takes care of our son."

"Barla did a great job taking care of our twins on a Sunday afternoon. They played lots of games, did arts and crafts and spent time outside in the garden. The kids really enjoyed listening to her read lots of books and we were very happy to have her."

"Joanne was so lovely with my daughter- even though it was a rainy afternoon, she kept her entertained for hours and I could hear her laughter throughout the house. Thank you so much, Joanne, and we hope to see you again soon!"

"Terri is a gem! She sat for us over a period of consecutive Mondays and she has such a calm energy, the kids loved playing board games with her each evening and were very relaxed and happy each Monday knowing she was coming. It made our weekly commitment much easier knowing Terri was coming to help us out. We would book Terri again in a heartbeat."

"Lisa is a consummate pro. She arrives ahead of time and full of energy. She has proved a natural with our little 1 year old girl who has regularly enjoyed time with her over repeated sessions."

"Carol was absolutely fantastic, she built a lovely rapport with my 13 month son straight away and was so lovely playing with him and keeping him engaged. She kept him entertained whilst I worked. She sat with him whilst he ate and actually got him to eat a lot more than he normally would. Would happily book Carol again."

"Denise got on so well with our girls instantly. She brought a bag of toys which the girls loved playing with. This was the first time we have been able to walk out the door without any tears. Thank you we would not hesitate to recommend Denise."

"Charlene was an absolute joy to have in our home. My one-year-old adored her and she provided so much care and fun for the afternoon she was with us. She and my daughter read books, laughed and played, and I was so thrilled to see how much my daughter took to her. Thank you so much, Charlene, and we hope we can see you again soon!"

"Gayle is absolutely amazing. My children absolutely adore her. Gayle played games and did arts & crafts with the children. Would absolutely recommend her!"

"We had a great experience with Angel. She was very knowledgeable and arrived in good time. She put us at ease and we were able to go out and enjoy our evening feeling confident that our kid was fine!"

"Aba was at our home this week and she was amazing. She arrived promptly and engaged the kids constructively the entire day. Aba took great care of the kids. and my 3 year old got fond of her during this visit. Thank you so much Aba for bringing your calm to the mix, i am inspired by it."

"Taslima was brilliant, by far one of the best babysitters we have had. She is warm, caring and professional. Highly recommend."

"Miriam was punctual and took the day in her stride as she looked after my 4 month old while we got ready then attended my brothers wedding."

"Marta came to look after our little boy and they had lots of fun while I worked upstairs. She took him to our local park and came back and kept him entertained with games, books and colouring and he seemed very happy with her and her friendly nature. Thank you."

"This is the first time we have used Sitter and the first time we had a babysitter for our 8 month old son. Dhura was brilliant and our 6 year daughter took to her straight away. Our son went to bed and was out like a light and Dhura read stories, played games and posed as a hairdressers assistant(!) whilst we enjoyed a much needed needed dinner out. We wouldn't hesitate to book Dhura again."

"Michelle was wonderful with our boys. As it was the first time we'd used the service, and anyone who wasn't family to babysit for us we were a bit nervous and my littlest wouldn't even peek at her. But even by the time we left she had him talking and reading with her. They were both asleep by the time we got home, which is amazing. They both want her to come again."

"Vicky looked after our 2 children for the first time and the kids were comfortable with her straight away. She brought a bag of toys with her and spent time playing board games and reading with them. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter and would be very happy to have her look after my children again."

"What can I say, Trisha was absolutely fantastic from the moment she arrived! She developed an instant rapport with my 7 month old. It was my first booking and the first time I had left my son with someone outside of my immediate family and she instantly put me at ease with her warm and gentle manner. She also provided me with regular updates throughout the day. I'm absolutely delighted. Trisha comes highly recommended and I would not hesitate to book her again."

"Nadica was so engaging with our 1 year old son from the first moment they met. We asked Nadica to sit our son during work hours and she was able to very quickly adapt to our day plan for our son and always asked about anything that she was unsure about. Nadica is respectful of our space and wishes and asks before she embarks on new activities. We are very happy with Nadica and have nothing but great things to report. We look forward to having Nadica sit our son anytime of day or night. Overall and exceptional sitter!"

"Kennie has now been looking after my children on multiple occasions. She is always smiling, professional, caring. She is my "go to" nanny not only for routine baby-sitting but also for emergencies, such as looking after an unwell child. Highly recommended."

"Maria was amazing! I almost cancelled at the last minute because I was nervous that my almost two year old son would be watched by a "stranger". When she arrived she made him smile right away. Asked for his bedtime routine and he was tucked away and asleep before we came back home. I would absolutely love to have her back anytime!"

"Sally came by on Saturday evening to take care of our 3 little ones aged 1, 4 & 6 years old. Easily settled into our busy home, engaged with our little ones & put them to bed whilst we went out for a date night! Sally was lovely to be around, our older girls said she was fab & would love to see Sally again. Thank you Sally. :-D."
