I cannot recommend Zoe highly enough. When she came my 14 month old was poorly and quite difficult to manage on top of my newborn. It was the first time i had left them both with anyone and I was a bit nervous as it was for a whole day. I didnt need to be! Zoe is so experienced and professional, she immediately put my mind at ease by feeding breakfast to my toddler and playing with her. The kids warmed to her straight away and i felt sure she had everything under control. She was very caring and even gave me helpful tips and advice. 5 stars! Will definitely use her 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"!!"

Our 2,5 year old had a fantastic time with Kerin while we went out to celebrate my birthday. Kerin arrived with a big smile and immediately engaged with our son. He was really taken by her and in no time our son was having a blast with Kerin playing with the balloons she had brought with her (there was A LOT of laughing from him). That meant he was absolutely fine waving goodbye to mommy and daddy and of course we could relax and have a wonderful evening together as a couple. This was the first time Kerin babysat for us but she is DEFINITELY our preferred nr 1 babysitter!

This was our first time using Sitters so we were a bit apprehensive about leaving our 2yr old with a stranger. Our minds were immediately put at ease when Elise arrived. She arrived with a big smile and very friendly and warm demeanour (Mary Poppins came to mind). She was engaging with our son from the first moment to which he responded very well. He really connected with her and even waved us goodbye when we left with a big smile on his face, no tears! I would highly recommend Elise and I hope to book her again in future even though she is not local to us.
