Families local to you love Sitters Families local to you love Sitters This was our first time using Sitters and we were a little apprehensive never having met before. Any concerns we had evaporated as soon as Rajwinder came to the door. Raj had a warm and reassuring manner and kept us updated with texts throughout the evening as requested. She played very nicely with the children and the first thing they asked when they woke up in the morning was when Raj would be back! We would recommend Rajwinder without reservation, just as long as we can have her first!

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!

Families local to you love Sitters Families local to you love Sitters Charlotte was brilliant with my little girl, they had an instant connection the minute she walked in the door and that put me at ease. My little girl said bye to me when I was going to work and not even cried. They went out to the park and for a walk, when I got back to the house she was still clinging on Charlotte and cuddling her and didn't want her to go. I give her 5 ***** I would love to have her again high recommend her. #Happy Parent.
