Jean is warm, kind, calm, professional and friendly. My 3 & 5 year old really enjoyed her company. She uses her initiative, asking when she needs to, but otherwise just gets on with it. I highly recommend.

Sitters childcarers love what they do

One of our lovely carers Pauline, a qualified nursery nurse and part of the Sitters family since 2002, tells us why she loves doing what she does:

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"!!"

First time to leave my 22 mth old with a sitter. You will not find better than Jean. I was stressed but from the moment she arrived I realised there was no need, I simply walked out and that was that - she got her to bed before 8 - hair brushed, two things I can't do!!! I only had to tell Jean the once where everything was, and what the routine was and it was all followed no problems, I had lovely text updates and the LO got up this morning fully rested and all smiles. Jean is so experienced, calming and reassuring, I am just thrilled to find her and can't wait to use her again. She even tidied all the toys away, I had nothing to do but fall into bed myself when I got home. Worth every penny and more besides - If you book Jean you can really go out with a clear conscience and no worries, and a happy toddler to come home to.

We couldn't be happier with the service we received from Bernadette. We left our 9 month old with her while we went out for the first time and unfortunately our little one was sick while we were out. Bernadette informed us immediately but reassured us not to panic or rush home immediately but that she would call back 20 minutes later and we could decide what to do then. In that time Bernadette had cleaned up the baby and redressed her, changed the cot sheets and soothed her back to sleep (more than I could have done!). We were able to enjoy the rest of our evening out. Bernadette is obviously very capable and kind with babies and I feel confident and happy leaving my baby in her care.
