Gaynor was amazing from the start - she arrived ten minutes early and was professional and friendly. She didn't bat an eyelid when our daughter got up from bed, refusing to go back, and Gaynor promptly got out a few books and started reading to her, so that my Husband and I could pop out the door. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend! :D.

"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"!!"

Very impressed. In her confirmation phone call she was both friendly and bu sinesslike, just the right mix. She arrived on time and immediately began i nteracting with our very tired son. She clearly took her queues from him an d was keen to engage with him but not overwhelm him. We left feeling sure t hat whatever happened while we were out, she could deal with it swiftly, co nfidently and entirely appropriately. Read that back, makes her sound like a machine but she was a lovely, friendly and approachable young woman. Perf ect in fact for all our babysitting needs.
