Senait was the first person outside friends & family that our baby daughter had been left with and I was a little nervous but she put me at ease straight away on arrival. I had to go to a work meeting so wasn't able to call during the afternoon and then got held up on the way home but Senait was fine and even said she enjoyed looking after our daughter which made me feel a lot better! She fed C twice and put her down for a good nap so her routine was unchanged and I even realised after she'd left that she'd done some washing up which was amazing. Thank you and hope to see you again!

Sitters childcarers love what they do

One of our lovely carers Pauline, a qualified nursery nurse and part of the Sitters family since 2002, tells us why she loves doing what she does:

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"!!"

To say that Ivana has been a fantastic Baby Sitter for our children would still be an understatement. Ivana came to babysit my children for an entire day and evening, many, many hours. This would be not an easy task task for the most experienced professionals, but Ivana handled every aspect of their routine with great skills and a gentle touch. Her drawings are amazing, we still keep and treasure them. I would like to thank Ivana for the outstanding job she did with my children and for my family. And Sitters for providing such an excellent service and reliable Baby Sitters.

Sue is an absolute delight. We've just had our second baby and have only had one other sitter with him before, so I was feeling a bit neurotic about leaving him for someone new. Sue immediately put my mind at ease and reassured me immediately. She began engaging with our 5 year old daughter straight away, you can tell Sue works with and loves children from the way she communicates with them. She was professional, courteous, and on time. We wouldn't hesitate to have her back again and feel confident she is a truly exceptional provider of child care. Thanks, Sitters!
