"We were so lucky to have Christine look after our daughter. Her natural warmth and energy instantly appeared to our daughter and they got along like a house on fire. She arrived early, was very polite and made us immediately feel comfortable leaving our daughter with her. Would love to have her again in the future."

"Nicola was absolutely amazing, especially with my particularly clingy child. She also went above and beyond, helping out when the baby was asleep and cooking my daughter lunch. Her presence made everything better and I would definitely recommend her!"

"Fahmuda is so lovely! She looked after our nearly 3 year old at the last minute as her childminder was shut. My daughter isn't that used to having a stranger look after her so it wasn't easy for Fahmuda but she dealt with it all beautifully, she was so kind playing games and doing arts and crafts by the end of the day they were the best of friends, thank you Fahmuda!"

"Andrea was amazing. She came with a bag of books and my son was so comfortable with her. He really enjoyed playing with her and has asked for her again."

"Sarah was so natural with my girl! Was lucky to have had her as my daughter's babysitter."

"Susan is the first babysitter our lovely but demanding 4 year old daughter has had (we sort of skipped any chance for going out through lockdown), so we were quite nervous about how our evening out would go. On the night we also had a bit of disruption and builders finishing up very late so it was all quite chaotic when we were getting ready to go. Susan was absolutely brilliant - warm and engaged and our wee one instantly liked her. The evening went very smoothly, our daughter got to sleep at her normal time and clearly had a really nice time with Susan before she fell asleep. We will certainly be very keen to have Susan back to babysit for us again next time we are planning a night out. We would definitely recommend her as a babysitter."

"Alex was really sweet and lovely and our son really liked her."

"Lovely lady so informative and knowledgeable My boys really enjoyed having her over.. Very easy to interact with once we met her felt really at ease about the whole process."

"Joanna was brilliant with my 7 year old boys. They warmed to her instantly and asked if she could come and sit for us again. I felt very happy leaving them with her. Really happy."

"Nicola was fantastic on Saturday night. She was very friendly and made us feel at ease from the outset, asking lots of reassuring questions and giving us an update as requested once the kids were quiet. I would highly recommend and would definitely have her babysit again."

"Having never really used a babysitting or nanny agency before, I was in need of someone to help me with my twin toddlers during a busy week at work. I remembered a colleague had once recommended Sitters so I posted an ad and was matched with Maria. I cannot put into words how lucky I was to find her - she took the time to have a chat with me beforehand and I took an immediate liking to her. When she met my twins for the first time, she bonded with them instantly, her warm and charismatic personality is as lovely for them to be around as it is me! During her week with us, Maria helped us to tweak our old routines, suggesting ways to stimulate our girls with different activities and gave me the confidence to switch things up so my twins who are quite high energy, could channel their energy into more creative and focused play. Maria is not an ordinary sitter - she has so much experience and knowledge in childcare and I genuinely feel like I've learned so much from her. I cannot recommend her enough!"

"Laura was excellent, my boys were immediately relaxed and themselves with her which is more than I could ask for. Got home to sleeping children, perfect. Will definitely use her again."

"Suzette was totally brilliant. Warm, fun and funny, open, friendly. Kids adored her and so did I!!"

She made sure my son was at ease and well cared for in my absence. Great communicator, reassuring and amazing. Thank you - Dr TC."

"Nadica was wonderful with our 1 year old, who seemed to enjoy spending time with her. He's always slept well but he got so much play time that he went right to sleep without being rocked for his nap or bed time. She also left our place cleaner than when she arrived!"

"Tracey is really lovely and both my kids (2 & 4) took to her straight away. I asked her back the following week as it went so well!"

"Sharne was absolutely fantastic. It was our first time leaving our little one with a baby sitter and she couldn't have put us more at ease. Can't recommend Sharne highly enough, just a shame we aren't local to this area so won't be able to use her more regularly! the experience has given us lots of confidence to use Sitters moving forward. Thank you Sharne!"

"Shoba was really lovely and easy going and kind. She was instantly warm and friendly and was very good at talking to our children and also getting them to go to bed in a calm way. I would most definitely ask her to sit for us again."

"Jamie was great! My 7 year old was so nervous about having a sitter for a whole afternoon / evening and told me in advance he didn't even want to speak to her. But that quickly changed once Jamie arrived and he had her playing football and battleships! He said the next day how great she was and we could go away again if Jamie comes! She also texted in the morning and not just the hour before so we knew all was set well in advance without needing to worry."

"Robina was wonderful! She sat for our two little girls (16 months and 4 years old) and put us at ease from the moment we met. She was very easy to speak with and I felt like the girls were in great hands. They slept through the night and were happy as clams the next morning. We would love to have her back anytime."

"Pamela was brilliant. This was our first time using Sitters, or any kind of baby sitters for that matter. We were attending a wedding around the corner and needed someone to look after our 8 months old while he slept in the evening. Pamela helped with the bedtime routine, gave him his last milk and put him to bed. We enjoyed our first night out since he was born, and the whole process was stress-free! Thank you Pamela :)."

"Yasmin was an absolute delight, friendly, gentle, caring and immediately put Eleanor at ease. She happily played board games with her, read both to her and listened to her reading, had fun on the piano together and after putting Eleanor to bed, made sure everything was neatly put away. So both kind and conscientious we would definitely request her again."

"Camille is wonderful! Always on time, happy and smiling even joined in badminton with the kids!"

"Karen was curious and thoughtful about my children, wanting to understand and meet their needs. This was great because she then supported them in the best way for them and they felt really comfortable with her. Karen was also really helpful in supervising the schedule of the evening, feeding the kids and encouraging them to complete their homework. Thank you Karen!"

"We've left our toddler with Nathalie multiple times and think she's great. She puts you at ease and is good at communicating. He has bags of energy and she confidently kept him entertained with lots of indoor and outdoor play. She also got him to eat his dinner which we are currently struggling with. Wouldn't hesitate to book Nathalie again."

"We were delighted with Emma, who was the first sitter our two children didn't already know. She arrived right on time, was friendly and relaxed, and immediately put our children (9 & 3) at ease with her engaging chat and bedtime stories.. We'd recommend her."

"Excellent - kids really liked her and would definitely recommend."

"Dimpal was a wonderful sitter - she arrived right on time, met my 2 and 5 year old children right when they were going to bed and made them feel comfortable. I would most definitely recommend Dimpal to anyone looking."

"Very kind, good for it's the children, nothing seems to phase her! Felt very comfortable leaving the children under her care. Always arrives on time."

"Sophie sat for us again last night and my children were so excited to see her. We trust Sophie completely and look forward to seeing her again (and so do my girls!). Thank Sophie!"

"As soon as we opened the door to Jillian we knew the children were in excellent hands. Smiley, fun and friendly she fitted straight in with the children and before we left they were all playing games together. The endorsement from the children the next morning was just what we wanted to hear, they had fun and could they have her again!"

"Thank you Jane for being a patient and amazing baby sitter. My son was returned home 2 hours later than the booking was agreed. Jane was ever so patient and maintained regular contact with me and my son. She reassured me throughout and made sure my son was well looked after without any worries. Fantastic communication and great work. Thanks Jane."

"Tirhas sat for our 13 month daughter who is normally a bit hesitant and fussy when babysitters first arrive but not with Tirhas! Tirhas made our daughter smile and laugh from the moment she walked in the door. We knew we were leaving her in good hands for an evening out. She let us know by text when she fell asleep and that everything was going smoothly. We hope Tirhas can babysit for us again soon!"

"Amazing babysitter, we had Kate for 2 weekends during our stay in the Torbay and it was such a relief knowing we could leave our kids with such a great lady! Will def recommend and book again!"

"This was the first time after much deliberation we have ever left our girls (aged 8 & 3yrs) with somebody we didn't know. Julie was really lovely with them & they took to her straight away. She played with them, read to them & sorted their usual bedtime routines with no problems. She arrived promptly & sent us messages to say everything was fine with the them. I wouldn't hesitate to ask her to look after them again."

"It was an absolute pleasure to have Eleanor look after our kids. The kids took to her instantly and it's clear she has a lot of experience with kids of all ages. Her communication was excellent and made us feel really at ease when we were away from them. The kids missed her as soon as she went which is a good sign!"

"We have now used Anna several times and she has been fantastic. Our baby really likes her! Would thoroughly recommend Anna."

"Kirsten was lovely & warm.. prompt & helpful. we have a dog which she was fine with & my boys liked her too. thank you."

"Janette was just incredible from start to finish! Definitely would recommend and use again without a shadow of a doubt. So patient and calm with my 11 month old but also so much fun. Couldn't have asked for better, it was lovely to be able to leave my baby boy and not worry at all. Janette kept in touch throughout the day and also came and met Charlie before hand too. Amazing,"

"Absolutely lovely! Was a bit nervous about who we'd get as we've not used this service before. But Charlotte was really lovely and put our minds at ease straight away. She is clearly very experienced with children. She was on time, kept us updated all night and offered to help with extra things whilst we were out. Will be using Charlotte again."

"Teka looked after our 2yr old and 4 month old while we went out for the evening. It was our first time leaving both of them so I was a bit nervous but Teka was incredibly reassuring and sent regular updates through the evening. She is a lovely calming presence and we would love her to sit for us again."

"This was the first time we had Susan. The girls (7&6years old) loved her. She was very friendly and kind and from the get go it was evident Susan has a lot of experience with childcare. We will definitely have her again! Highly recommended."

"Jade immediately put us at our ease as she was friendly, calm, punctual and asked lots of relevant questions re our son's routine. She sent a reassuring message during the evening to say he was asleep and all was well. I hope that Jade can babysit for us again and would definitely recommend her to others."

"Beverley was amazing! Very experienced, patient and nice. My 1 year old son and her bonded right away and had a pleasant time together. Throughout the day she was sending me messages, and kept me informed, which was great. Highly recommend! Will definitely book a session with her again!"

"Wonderful with the children, very warm, capable and gentle."

"Oteri instantly had a great rapport with our two kids - 6 and 3 yo. We had thought that we would have to spend some time making sure they were comfortable with someone new , before leaving for dinner , but within a couple of Minutes of Oteri arriving they were already at ease and enthralled with her so we were able to head out earlier than we thought for a pre dinner cocktail! Thanks so much Oteri!"

"Polite, professional and friendly with the children. I would definitely book her again. Thank you."

"Talina was absolutely great with my two children, and the following day the eldest asked when is she coming back. She's followed their routine, fed them, changed them and put them both to sleep by the time I was home. Amazing!"

"Hewi arrived with lots of energy and easily drew our son out of himself and into activities. It was great to feel our son was having a play date while we went out, but with all the boring stuff like bedtime and teeth cleaning also under control!! We'd be happy to book Hewi again."

"This was the first time we have used Sitters and I was naturally a little cautious at the prospect of leaving our toddler with a stranger! I needn't have worried at all - Carol was completely lovely, warm and affectionate towards both our son and us! Beforehand she had messaged me to ask about his routine, favourite toys, books, snacks etc. She had been to the library especially to get out books by his favourite author! Such a thoughtful thing to do! She did a grand job of looking after him. I would highly recommend Carol to anyone seeking childcare for their little ones!"

"Sian looked after my two boys, aged 3 and 7, for the whole day and was great with them. They were a bit nervous as it was the first time they have had a sitter since lockdown and went and hid but she got stuck in straight away and turned it into a game and I felt relaxed about leaving them with Sian. They had a lovely day playing at home where Sian gave them their lunch and then took them for. a 3 hour trip to the park! I was impressed with Sian's calm and gentle manner around them and my boys had a lovely day."

"Deborah is exceptionally professional and made sure she understood everything about the children, their routines and what we were comfortable with, e.g. Calpol, before we left. One child woke up whilst we were still out and Deborah managed to get him back to sleep which was an achievement seeing as how they hadn't met!"

"Sheree was lovely - arrived on time put us at ease on her capabilities with children. She managed to entice our 10 and 6 year old boys away from their screens, played a few games and then took them up to bed and sent us an update on how they had settled. Would definitely have her again."

"This was our first time using this service, and felt a little nervous but Sophie was excellent, warm, welcoming and our girls instantly bonded with her. She spent time doing activities and the girls loved it!"

"Rolanda was terrific with my 7 year old daughter. She arrived promptly and immediately engaged with my child. She asked useful questions about my child's bedtime preferences and texted us partway through the evening to let us know our daughter was asleep and had had a good evening. Rolanda is clearly very experienced and I would have her again as a sitter!"

"My boys ( both 10) absolutely loved having Nita as a sitter. They even stayed off their tablets to play and chat with her. From them, that is a massive compliment!"

"We can not recommend Margje highly enough. Our darling daughter felt relaxed and comfortable with her straight away and has asked if she can have Margje look after her again. Margje helped with homework, entertainment and bedtime - she really is excellent and provides the peace of mind parents need."

"Stacyann was great with my six month old having stepped in at really short notice. Felt very relaxed going to work and appreciated the updates throughout the day. Will definitely book again. Thank you!"

"Our two sons, aged 5 and 10, enjoyed a full day with Eleanor while we were at a wedding. Eleanor was just superb with them from the moment she met them, and our boys had a brilliant time with her. As parents we appreciated her professionalism, calm and lovely sense of humour, and felt totally secure leaving them with her for the day. We - and our boys especially! - would love for her to sit for us again."

"Margje was great looking after my boys (5 and 7 yrs old). She arrived on time, supervised dinner, played and put them to bed, following my guidance on bedtime routine and time. She was reliable, professional and handled some of kids' challenging behaviour very well. Highly recommend her!"

"We haven't had a daytime sitter before. Andrea was great. Really interactive and the boys (11,12) enjoyed their time with her, getting their homework done and doing some baking."

"Jessica was wonderful with my children (ages 5 and 9 years)! She is really bubbly, energetic and confident. She took them out on their bikes and they all had a lovely time together - kids have requested her to come again ASAP! Jessica is also completely competent in the kitchen, preparing lunch/snacks etc - using her initiative and getting on with it in my absence. We all look forward to seeing her again soon!"

"Natalie was warm, friendly and hugely capable, instantly brilliant with the children and a pleasure to have as a sitter. Straightaway she engaged with the children, they thought she was fantastic- playing board games, taking the time to read with them both and generally being kind and professional. We hope to see her again!"

"I'm compelled to write a second review of the highest endorsement for Lauren as I'm sitting in here in my home office, listening to her and my two children using their walkie talkies and 'catching Pokemon'. "Angus is that you? Or are you a Pokemon?" - followed by all three of them falling about laughing! : ) If you want a reliable and totally brilliant Sitter, whom your children will completely adore... I can't recommend Lauren enough!"

"Arijeta looked after my 19m old boy while I was wfh. It was my first booking with sitters and I was a bit nervous but she immediately put me at ease the moment she entered the house and immediately engaged with my child. She ensured that my little is happy and entertained so I can concentrate on my work properly. She is calm and very responsible. Thank you Arijeta."

"Sandra has been brilliant, thank you very much. My wife was nervous leaving the kids for the first time with anyone other than family since the pandemic, but Sandra has really put her mind to rest and made it so easy."

"It was the first time we used a babysitter for our nearly 8-month old daughter and Caureen met all of our expectations. She was very calm and built great rapport with our daughter who felt comfortable being soothed by her when she woke up during the night. I would highly recommend Caureen."

"Emma was a great sitter. We were on holiday in camber sands with 4 children aged 1 -7. Emma gave me confidence as soon as she arrived. She was great with the baby who she met before he went to sleep. She was left to put my 6 year old to bed and he had a great time. We would not hesitate to recommend Emma for babysitting jobs."

"First time using sitters and Karen put us all at ease. She played games with the girls, made sure they ate their dinner, and planned the evening out so they knew what they were doing.. Thankyou very much! They girls want to know when she is coming again!"

"This was our first booking with Sitters and we couldn't be happier with how the process was handled. Claire reassured us from the start and kept in touch throughout the booking to let us know that things were OK! Would definitely recommend this service and Claire to others. Thank you."

"Completely amazing! A professional nanny, so in tune with the children, relaxed and proactive. Handover notes at the end about food eaten, games played etc. Truly a delight to have in the house with my two, they adore her!"

"Sue is so professional and made us feel completely at ease. Our children were quite nervous about having someone they didn't know looking after them but Sue is so kind and they all really liked her."

"Maxine came over at super short notice due to us having work commitments. She took such good care of our 5 month old (who requires constant cuddling! ) and made sure he had everything he needed. We would not hesitate to book with Maxine again, she's super knowledgeable and I felt completely at ease leaving the little one with her! X."

"Fevan was brilliant with my very clingy 2yo who was at a hotel in unfamiliar settings and she was patient with him and with me. She even managed to get my son to bed in the hotel room with no problem, which was just amazing. She was so easy going and made me feel at ease and would definitely be using her again."

"Jan has sat for my 9 and 7 year old a couple of times and she's been great with them (and us) on both occasions.. My son, in particular, is very shy but he has immediately taken to Jan and is very happy to hear that she is coming to look after him. I would definitely recommend her to others."

"Paula was fantastic - so professional, put us at ease immediately and my little boy loved her. Paula updated us during the evening to let us know that both boys were fine, which was such a nice touch and really reassured me. I will definitely be requesting Paula in the future."

"Tracey is a fantastic babysitter. My two young sons warmed to her immediately and we felt very relaxed leaving them in her care. She turned up at our house with lots of Easter eggs to paint, colouring pens and a large roll of paper and our boys were immediately engaged. Couldn't recommend her more."

"I honestly don't have enough words to describe how phenomenal Robyn was with our 18m old daughter today. Tilly warmed to her from the second she met her (as did we!) - Robyn is so warm, friendly, professional and clearly INCREDIBLE with children. I still get a bit nervous leaving Tilly but I relaxed immediately with Robyn. Tilly came home babbling and smiling away and had clearly already formed a wonderful bond with Robyn. I can't wait to book her again - she was the best babysitter I have ever seen. Thank you so much!"

"From the moment Myrtle entered our home she brought such a wonderful, calm presence that I'm sure my children picked up on. She is open and friendly, and really happy to settle down with my 3 year old and read him endless stories! She sent me a message halfway through the evening to let me know everything was ok, which I really appreciated. I will definitely book Myrtle again!"

"Emma was really good with my son who was staying at a hotel during a wedding and was out of his routine. She immediately put him and me at ease and they had a good rapport from the off. I was able to go downstairs to the evening reception knowing he was in safe hands. And within 20 mins I got a reassuring text that he was fast asleep. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Emma. If we lived locally she would be on my favourites list."

"Our first booking with Sitters and we were very nervous, especially as one of our children has special needs and we have never left our children. Vicky-ann and our children were able to quickly build a bond, they took well to the introduction. We handed over to Vicky-ann and got ready to head out. We were able to check on how the kids were doing during the evening and were reassured the kids were having a good time. Thank you."

"Lindita came to look after our 8 mo so we could go out for dinner for the first time since our baby was born. I had exchanged messages with Lindita beforehand because I was pretty nervous about how it would go. Our daughter had just started waking every hour until 11pm - a bit of challenge for a stranger! But Lindita arrived and jollied our baby along until she was entirely comfortable in her company. Lindita kept us informed and managed to resettle the baby so when we got back all was well. A lovely woman!"

"The perfect service. Its so hard to enjoy going out, when you can't find anyone to care for your children. Meena has made this difficulty disappear. Meena arrived early, was completely able to comprehend how our bedtimes work without issue & my children loved her. I therefore, had a great evening. We will be rebooking the minute I know my next outing. Thank you sitters & Meena."

"Kelly is a brilliant sitter, she is great with our two boys and they love having her look after them, and trust me our three year old is a TOUGH audience. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She has been several times now and we're always happy when we see her name."

"We have had Agatha to babysit quite a few times now and both of our girls aged 9 and 2 3/4 adore her. She is very hands on and isn't afraid to get stuck into hand painting with our toddler! Agatha is patient and very reliable we feel the girls are in safe hands with her so would most definitely recommend her to others!"

"I'm always hesitant to use a new sitter because bedtime with 4 children can be a handful, but Angela was lovely. She was on time, efficient, and immediately got to playing with our kids before we even left the house. Our kids really liked her as well and asked when she could come back again, so that is always a great sign!"

"Aneta is very pleasant and was very punctual and polite. She is a natural at almost immediately establishing a level of trust with children as well as parents and is passionate at what she does. She sat for our three children for the very first time and they only want her and nobody else next time. I would highly recommend Aneta without a second thought to any parent."

"I really wished there was a higher status than positive, as Karen is truly exceptional. Nothing was too much bother for her. I was apprehensive about leaving my 2 children with a stranger but after 5 minutes with Karen my children really took to her and I had no longer had any worries. The feedback from Jay and Erin was 'when is Karen looking after us again - she is epic' . I certainly will be using Karen again as for the first time in a long time I wasn't stressing about leaving the kids. Karen is worth her weight in Gold :)."

"Shirley sat for us last night and was absolutely lovely. It was the 1st time I had used Sitters or ever had someone I didn't know but she put me straight at ease and was very engaging with my son. I appreciated that she text to say all was well once both kids were asleep! Would definitely have her sit again :)."

"Karen was great with my little one. They sang and played, counted and learned the abcs and many more activities. Karen was lovely!"

"Flavia is super positive and relaxed and put us at ease the moment she arrived. Our 12 month old daughter has become a little apprehensive of new people but Flavia knew exactly how to handle the situation and we left the house without any tears shed. Flavia asked our preference for text updates throughout the evening which was also very nice. We would highly recommend and hope she can sit for us again soon!"

"Deborah was fantastic! 4 year old son was a bit tired and weepy so she distracted him with a Paw Patrol card game she'd brought with her so we could say goodbye without drama, and make our dinner reservation on time. She was very kind and sunny, and kept us posted while we're out. Would definitely recommend and my son would love her to babysit him again, as would we!"

"Pamela looked after our 10 month old daughter when we visited Edinburgh. She was fantastic at putting us at ease leaving our baby in a strange house and city and arrived early to make sure she had time with our daughter before she went to bed. We would definitely book her again if we're ever in the area. Thank you!"

"Sarah is a real star. Both my daughters (age 3 and 1) adore her. She's an extremely experienced childcare professional, so she knows just how to nurture children and help them thrive. She's also dynamic, creative, and fun, so my kids always have a great time with her. We all look forward to the "Sarah days"!"

"Jayne responded really quickly to our request at short notice. She arrived promptly, and she was really good with our son who had a great day with her."

"This was our first booking with Lisa and she was fantastic with my kids. Boy aged 5 and girl aged 9 so potentially tricky to balance their differing interests but Lisa was so warm and enthusiastic that they both took to her immediately. Lisa has masses of energy and clearly has the knack of communicating with children at their level; she took them out to the park and swings and kept both children entertained for the three hours we had booked. We'll definitely be requesting her to visit us again - thank you Lisa!"

"Caroline arrived early to ease the transition which was really great. My kids had a fabulous time, having stories read to them and fun. Caroline looked after the whole 'going to bed' process and both went down soundly and on time. The updates were really well received too letting me know how everything was going. Can't recommend Caroline highly enough."

"Amazing nanny! She helped look after my 14mth son for a week. She's kind, willing and very good with my son. He didn't want to leave her for cuddles when I got home!"

"Emily was great. When she arrived she took control right away - there were two babies (14 months and 6 months), so it was comforting to know the Emily had it all in hand immediately. Emily kept us updated throughout the time we were out with what was happening, and expertly dealt with the 6 month old baby when she work up towards the end of the booking. We would highly recommend Emily and look to book her ourselves again."

"Lovely warm manner with our 4 and 2 year old. Youngest got quite upset when we left and didn't want to go to sleep but Dagmara talked to her about her teddies, settled her back in bed and sat with her while she fell asleep. She didn't wake up again all night. Dagmara kept in contact by text message and we felt really comfortable our children in her care."

"Kit looked after my 6 month old baby for 3.5 hours while I worked from home. It was the first time my baby was looked after by someone else, and she did a great job! My baby is not one who naps easily and she managed to put him to nap. He also finished the milk that she fed and he was in a good mood when I completed my work. Thank you Kit and would definitely book her service again."

"Magdelena was warm and professional. She met our children for the first time when they were in the middle of baths and dinner on a school night, so it was a little bit chaotic as we got them settled before leaving. But she seemed to manage their excited energy well and made sure they settled down and got into bed on time. She was really good about keeping us updated with how the evening was going. We would be pleased to have her back any time."

"Margarita's second time babysitting for our now 2 year old daughter and she is a pro. Bath, stories and bed in half the time it takes us :-)."

"Marina came for emergency childcare at short notice due to my usual nursery being closed - my little boy took to her immediately and was calm and contented all day despite the upheaval in his usual routine - thanks so much!!"

"This was our first time using a babysitter while we were at a family party and Des was amazing! So lovely, put us at ease straight away and my little girl loved her. She kept us updated, which was lovely. We all felt so comfortable with her that we're already trying to book her again!"

"Great experience with Santina. Although our kids were asleep most of the time, she was very sweet and reassuring to our 3yo daughter. Would definitely recommend, thank you!"

"Joan arrived on time. She was very calm and friendly. Our daughter has special needs and can be very challenging but Joan seemed to cope well and we came home to a calm house. Good communication throughout the evening meant we could enjoy a very rare night out. I would not hesitate to recommend or use Joan again."

"Brilliant as ever."

"Did a super job for us. Polite, thoughtful, on time, good w the kids."

"My son was very happy with Leonie's care for the day."

"Klaudia is very good. She arrived on time to look after our three children, gave the bath to the youngest one and cooked for all of them. She was very precise and asked us all the relevant questions before we left. Definitely recommend her."

"Tanja arrived on time and immediately made friends with our son. She took good care of him, made his dinner, played lots of games and they did some reading. She tucked him up to sleep before my wife and I arrived home. A first class and friendly service and a credit to the company. We will definitely use her again."

"Kristine has such a warm, friendly and welcoming presences about her. Both my children were like magnets when they met her as she brought games with her which they were very excited to play. She read them stories which they loved. Seeing her interact with my children and them responding so positively towards her was very reassuring and I look forward to welcoming Kristine back to our home. Highly recommend her she is amazing!"

"Brilliant in every way, as always."

"Jean knew how to connect with my two girls the second she walked through the door, and took a real interest in them both - even teaching my craft-loving 7-year-old how to knit! They were having such a great time that they didn't mind us leaving, and settled just fine at bedtime. We'd have Jean back every evening if we could!"

"Aly was so caring and attentive to my daughter who was unwell at the time. As soon as he arrived he helped settle my daughter and started playing with her; I felt very assured that she was in very safe hands before I left for work. Aly was professional, flexible and very friendly and I highly recommend him."

"Theresa called beforehand and arrived bang on time! which is something we really need in a sitter. Theresa was more than happy to play Mario Kart with my daughter :) which was nice. She was professional but relaxed and I felt safe to leave my girl with her. Looking forward to having Theresa sit for us again very soon. :)."

"Jitka is very professional. she arrived on time and we briefly discussed everything. She reassured me she would be able to put the children to bed on time, and although it was the first time they met, she actually did! my daughter let her plait her hair and my son was so happy with Jitka as well. they played board games and read books. She truly and genuinely loves the children and I would recommend Jitka to everyone."

"The first thing my 9 year old daughter asked me after Kathy had left was "mummy, when can Kathy come back?" I seriously couldn't fault her; she turned up with lots of fun activities for my daughter, did her prep (thanks Kathy!), did the washing up and was just generally fabulous, warm and a safe pair of hands. I have no hesitation in recommending her and I will be using her again."

"Francesca is a lovely person and has a calming and caring presence. She immediately put me at ease with her attentive and confident nature. She met all our daughters needs, including playing, feeding dinner and carrying out bath time and bedtime activities. Our daughter had a lovely time with Francesca, and even asked if she could share some of her dinner! I felt very comfortable leaving the house knowing that our daughter was safe and being cared for."

"Liz was wonderful!! My 10 year old daughter isn't too used to having a sitter and Liz put both her and I at total ease. She was very natural, gentle in her manner and totally reassuring. I almost don't want to say too many wonderful things about her (because I could) as I would worry we would never be able to book her again and I would very much like to put her at No 1 on our list. A really lovely lady and a great sitter."

"Kathy is friendly and has a warm and confident nature. She looked after our daughter throughout the afternoon and into the evening. She met all our daughters needs, including playing, feeding dinner and carrying out bath time and bedtime activities. Kathy even bought with her a bag of toys, stickers and drawing materials, which our daughter loved playing with! It was a pleasure to meet Kathy and I look forward to seeing her again soon."

"Children loved Fitnete's enthusiasm. They loved the praise she gave them and made them feel happy even though it was the first time they met. The children loved showing off their piano skills and Fitnete enjoyed listening to them. They said they sound like her back again."

"Our girls had a great time playing board games with Vanessa. Great communication before and during the booking. Hope to see Vanessa again in the future."

"Louise was extremely kind, professional and everything we wanted! We left our little boy for the first time, and felt completely at ease. I was especially nervous for his night time routine as this tends to be quite difficult, yet Louise handled it perfectly and did exactly what was asked. We are so happy we found her, and finally feel able to take a few hours to ourselves!"

"Michaela was great the whole time! We chatted before the booking as she wanted to know more about my son and that made me feel a lot more confident. Overall, she was great and will definitely book her again if I'm in the area."

"Used sitters for the first time last week and had the amazing Karen. She was very friendly and my two children loved her instantly. She played board games and listened to them play their instruments. Had no trouble getting them off to bed. The children loved her and are keen to have her again. Thank you Karen."

"Cristina is an absolute ball of energy. When she comes into our house to look after our 18 month old son Magnus, I know they'll be lots of singing, dancing, games and laughter. She's also reorganised our toy box before and always tidies up after playtime. We love that she takes him to the local park too and that he always sleeps so well after she looks after him!"

"Maria was wonderful. It was our first time using sitters, great experience. Maria was at our house early, played card games with our children. Which my son LOVED! Both our children have asked if she could babysit them again. Many thanks Maria."

"Sarah was friendly, fun, outgoing and proactive. She was clearly experienced and confident, and as a fellow mother, I felt reassured. She made sure to find out all the necessary info - nighttime routines and about our youngest' allergies - and stuck to it. Would definitely have her again!"

"This was my first time leaving my twins with a babysitter and I was a bit nervous as was they. I had a chat with Liz before she arrived and she confidently alleviated my fears. On arrival, she was friendly, calm and I immediately had a sense that the evening would go well. Liz chatted with the twins straight away and was quickly able to make a connection with them. They settled well at bedtime for Liz with a story. I will definitely use Liz again and would recommend her to other families."

"Sharon, was wonderful, she arrived on time and my girls were instantly taken with her . She brought along books and gained their interest it turned into an evening of movies & games round the kitchen table .. later in the evening I received a message to say all were in bed and settled we returned home to quite and a tidy house, thank you Sharon, our girls enjoyed their time with you and we enjoyed a much needed evening out. Would highly recommend Sharon fingers crossed we see her again soon."

"Emma took our first Sitters booking and she made us feel more than comfortable leaving our 5 month old in her care. She asked about his bed time routine and had him in bed asleep with no issues. We also asked her to stay an extra hour at late notice which she accepted. I would recommend Emma and would book her again."

"Luci was lovely. She was warm and friendly and the boys welcomed her instantly. They were very relaxed and waved us off with enthusiasm. They enjoyed a game of snakes and ladders followed by story and bed. Luci worked with our routines and was pleasant and engaging when talking to the boys. I would definitely book her again."

"Mary was absolutely brilliant from the get go. My children can be quite a challenge and had never had anyone but me and their gran put them to bed yet Mary had them tucked in well before the latest bedtime hour struck. I had some very kind updates to reassure me since there was quite a lot of anxiety from my children about me leaving. They spoke ever so fondly of her (and the book and koala she brought along) the next day. To think she bathed, fed, entertained and got them to bed on time; what a legend!"

"Tahsin exudes kindness and personal responsibility. We traveled to London for holiday, and of course, trying out a new sitter in a foreign country was a little scary. Tahsin gentle and respectful demeanor made me feel so comfortable. She was loving, thoughtful and attentive to our children. We could not have had a better experience. I HIGHLY recommend her. I will absolutely request her in the future when we return to London this summer."

"Siobhan is an absolute credit to sitters.co.uk! My children were very apprehensive about having a child sitter, however on Siobhan departing they were asking her to come back again, which gave us huge peace of mind. She gave me a courtesy call prior to arriving, was punctual and more than capable of taking care of two lively children. Great job, thank you!"

"This was my first time booking use Sitters so was a little apprehensive about how it all worked. Laura was lovely, she got in contact as soon as she accepted the booking and answered any questions I had. She was on time, professional and my 3 daughters loved her and asked if she can sit for them again, in my youngest daughters words, "we give Laura a big Thumbs UP "."

"Chantel was so wonderful with our 10m old baby (who is going through a very clingy phase!) Chantel even brought a bag of toys, and managed to win baby over after 30 seconds (a small miracle!) and she built a great rapport and even managed to get baby to nap with minimal fuss (another miracle!). We would absolutely love to have her sit for us again!"

"Tina was great with our nine month old boy Oliver. My husband and I were both out of the house working and Tina truly made us feel like we had nothing to worry about. She was warm, friendly and assuring. We highly recommend Tina and would be very happy for her to babysit our son again."
