Very warm and loving - perfect for a baby. I would use her forever if I could - a Godsend!" "Andrea was full of energy and enthusiasm. Lovely and friendly yet confident. Totally unflappable. My seven year old daughter warmed to her immediately. That is the best test of all." "Sue was an instant hit with my 3 year old who is usually very clingy with me. This morning the first thing he asked was "Where's Sue?" I would definitely recommend Sue and use her services again." "An essential lifeline" "I have used Sitters for years. As a single parent, it's an essential lifeline for me. The sitters I have had to date have been amazing. Definitely child orientated, friendly and most importantly I feel secure leaving my child with them. I would not hesitate to recommend them."
