Carol came to our wedding in May to help with our two children in the evening to stay over at venue and have our two children in with her. Carol was simply perfect she kept a close eye on the children and when it was time for their bed she took them up and read stories. We could relax knowing they were close by and well looked after. In the morning Carol had them both ready for breakfast and she joined us too which was lovely. Thank you Carol so much Kelly and really appreciated your help.x.

Sitters childcarers love what they do

Loved by our families since 2003, Susan has sat for Sitters families on over 1,500 occasions. Here she explains why she loves working in childcare:

Having sat for Sitters families on more than 1,800 occasions, our wonderful carer Sue explains why she loves meeting new families:

"I have been working with Sitters for 17 years now and over that time I have met many lovely families. The Sitters service is professional, fast and reliable and I love the fact you can receive feedback from families. The application process is thorough so families can be assured their children will receive the best of care."

"I've worked with children for over 30 years. Sitters is perfect for me, it gives me flexibility, the team are always available to help and the families are lovely."

"Joining Sitters was the best thing I have ever done! It gives me the freedom to work around my school hours and I love that my name changes at every sitting..."shoe", "soup"... occasionally I get "Sue"!!"

Dawn was lovely. She has both personal and professional experience looking after children and I felt completely confident leaving my children in her care. She arrived as we got home and helped get kids out of the car. She played with them before dinner and sat with them while they ate so I could get myself sorted before heading out for as meeting. She managed to get my over tired almost 2 year old asleep and my eldest daughter really liked her. Would highly recommend without any hesitation.

Frances is a very professional, warm and lovely carer. My son was very upset when I left but Frances managed to get him settled and gave me regular updates which was great. Both my son (5) and daughter (4) had great fun. It was the first time I had left them in the evening so I knew it would be tricky but with Frances being so calm and warm I think we will definitely attempt it again. Would highly recommend Frances!
