Families local to you love Sitters Families local to you love Sitters We used Susan for our very first 'Sitters' experience. We were nervous about leaving our 1 year old with a stranger, but the minute Susan arrived we felt immediately at ease. She arrived 10 mins early so we could show her around and get to know her a little bit and she instantly engaged with our daughter and sat on the floor playing with her whilst we got ready to go out. We also needed to extend our agreed hours as our taxi was late bringing us home and there was no problem there at all, Susan was just keen we enjoyed our evening off :-) A very positive experience indeed.

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"!!" Families local to you love Sitters Families local to you love Sitters Stacy D was great. I had a message prior to the day as confirmation and she arrived on time on the evening itself. My 3 boys took to her immediately and Stacy immediately got them on side, unfortunately my youngest (5) was coming down with a cough and a slight raised temperature after a long week at school but Stacy provided reassurance that all would be ok and she was great, even sitting with him in his room whilst he resettled later in the evening. Would have no hesitation recommending Stacy D so long as you choose an evening when we aren't using her first!

Matthew was confident and relaxed with him, and asked how we would like him to handle bedtime. With his experience as a baby room nursery nurse and his own young children I felt absolutely confident leaving him still awake with Matthew when we left. On our return I wasn't surprised to hear that when sleepy Matthew had put him down and soothed him to sleep. Thank you and I'm sure we will see you again! More reasons to love Sitters 1.
