Families local to you love Sitters Families local to you love Sitters It was our first time leaving our 4 week old baby with anyone at all or using a babysitting service and to say we were apprehensive would be an understatement. We immediately felt at ease with Julie, and she did a fantastic job of making us slightly anxious parents feel comfortable about leaving our baby with her. She kindly sent us updates throughout the evening as to how he was doing and she also left a note updating us on his feeds and sleep, etc. We've already made some future bookings with Julie - it's so nice to know we've got someone we can trust to look after our baby.
