This was our first time using Sitters so we were a little worried especially knowing that the kids were going to be looked after by someone they have never met. When Sandra turned up within minutes of her arrival The kids had warmed to her and she was interacting with them straight away. I was totally reassured quickly that they were in very good hands. Sandra was extremely professional and was extremely good with the kids I would recommend her to anyone and would most definitely have her back again. Thank you to Sandra and Sitters.co.uk.

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"!!"

Kelly needed directions to the house and had sensibly asked for these - it is not the easiest to find - which meant she arrived in good time. The house was busy with the tail-end of my daughter's birthday party, but she didn't seem fazed. She took time to get to know our children and, despite the commotion, took on board all my instructions. The babysitting went like clockwork: children went to bed on time and were fast asleep when we got home. Kelly has a pleasant personality and I would use her again.

Kelly arrived in good time to meet us ahead of our heading out for the evening. Our year and half old has a continued deep rooted lack of love for sleep and Kelly coped more than admirably when she woke. She very calmly sought advice on the best soothing methods for her and managed to find one that worked, which is more then most can - myself included! I was very pleased that Kelly remained as calm as she did and stuck it out for the evening regardless. A very big thank you to Kelly :).
