Families love Sitters babysitting

"We were quite nervous as it was our first time using a sitter and we were in a hotel away from home. But we needn't have worried - Margaret was lovely, immediately put us at ease and sent us a text half way through the evening to let us know all was ok. We'd definitely love to book her again!"

Mrs Thompson, London

"We've been on holiday in the UK for a month and have been so impressed by each and every sitter. We had heard fantastic recommendations and we weren't disappointed. Thank you for making it possible for us to have some grown up time while on holiday!"

Mrs Kretschmer, Australia

"Denise came to look after my 10 month old son two nights in a row at a hotel whilst we were at a family wedding. She was absolutely fantastic, a natural with children and I could tell straight away that our son was in safe hands. Denise sent me updates to let me know he had gone to sleep on time so I could totally relax. A massive thank you from us!"

Mrs Woodhall, London

"Antoinette was genuinely fantastic! She accepted our booking super early which gave us peace of mind ahead of my brother's wedding and then when she turned up she was straight in, helping us bath my son. We had every confidence leaving our boy with her and would happily book her again."

Ms Riches, Gloucestershire

"We left our son with Hetty for two nights while staying in a hotel. She immediately put us at ease - she was warm, friendly and great with our three year old. She was very communicative - asked us what we wanted in terms of updates and kept us informed by text throughout both evenings. Hetty also brought some of her own children's games with her for our son to play with, a really thoughtful touch."

Mrs Needham, Oxfordshire

"Very positive first experience of Sitters. Used the wonderful Alison whilst away at a wedding. The children loved her. I've never had anyone I don't know look after my 2 & 4 year old children & Alison made everything look easy. She even managed to brush the 2 year olds teeth who normally runs a mile for us!!"

Mrs Lyons-White, London
