"Jan is a huge hit with my kids, she came to visit us before the booking to make sure everyone was comfortable and immediately felt like a great match. My youngest struggles with new people but speaks to Jan like she's known her for years, went to bed easily for her and says that Jan makes her feel cozy!! My oldest felt very safe with her, enjoyed her company and feels comfortable and calm when she's around. We will be booking Jan for as many dates as she can do for us, we are all very happy with how our first evening together went. Thank you sitters for finding me this angel!"

"Christelle was brilliant with our one year old. She played with her, sang, smiled lots and changed her nappies. She got her to sleep in the buggy too on a walk and while at home which is not easy to do as she usually likes to be moving to get to sleep. Would highly recommend and we will be happy to use Christelle again."
Mrs Slabas, Kent, BR3
"Brenda was such a delight - so kind and calm despite arriving to find an extra baby than expected! She gave our 5 month old son his bottle before bed and reassured our 2 year old daughter who was upset after we left home. She kept us posted when the children finally went to sleep and was very accomodating when we were home a tiny bit later than planned. A total professional and incredibly friendly and kind. I will be adding to favourites!"

"Sahar has been our Nr 1 Sitter since the first time we met her and has babysat regularly for our daughter (now 2 years old) and baby son (now 5 months old) over the past 2 years. She is a total pleasure to work with - always helps calm my daughter down when she is upset (with lots of singing) she is kind but also firm when needed. She is a delight with our baby son and a total professional. I trust her totally with our children and she is a pleasure to have around."

Would definitely recommend her."

"Seryna is a wonderful soul, you feel her warmth and love as soon as you meet her. The kids melted into her so quickly, kids just know good people when they meet them. Last night was the second time we have had Sernya, for my 9 month old and my 4 year old, this time doing the night routine. Both were happy, asleep and content! It's so liberating finding someone who can alleviate your anxieties of leaving your loved tiny people and actually switching off for a few hours. Thank you Seryna, your an angel."
Mrs Kaur, West Midlands, WV12
"Fiona came for the first time to our place on the weekend. I have to say I was a bit anxious as I have not had a sitter before so this was the first time, but Fiona was brilliant. My 2 kids absolutely loved her. My son after she left asked when she could come back. She played with them and really looked after them as if they were her own. She was brilliant and I'd make Fiona my first choice everytime."
Mrs Lattanzi, Warwickshire, CV37

"Joanne is a top notch professional. She helped my husband to look after our grandchildren. As it was during the day, she came with a boot load of activities in case they were needed.

We were so impressed with her calm, attentive and stimulating professionalism ."

"My 10mo son had a wonderful afternoon with Janice. I was working from home and could hear the sounds of laughing (both him and Janice), singing, reading and general play. He was very unsettled when it came to naptime as he's not used to having babysitters (usually breastfeeds to sleep) - she was so lovely and calm, rocking him and quietly reassuring him. My son and I are looking forward to seeing her again soon."
Dr Edwards, Hertfordshire, WD7

It's clear that Anne has extensive experience caring for children and knows just what they need. I highly recommend her!"

"Colleen was very much experienced and my daughter of two had such a great time with her. I was so nervous since I my daughter never had a sitter we dont personally know before. Being in a different country didnt quite make the thought of it, any easier too. But Colleen is witty and it really shows she knows her way around children. Thank you Colleen!"
Miss Martis, Essex,

Mrs Ritchie, West Yorkshire, LS29
"My 9 month old son took instantly to Dhurata and had an excellent time on both days she sat for me this week whilst I worked from home. He napped beautifully for her on the first day but his teeth coming through made naptime on the second day a bit more challenging - however I could just hear her quietly and calmly soothing him and singing gently which was perfect. Whilst he was napping, she cleaned up all his toys in my lounge, so the whole place was beautiful and relaxing when I came downstairs. Wonderful, thank you so much! We look forward to seeing you again soon."

If I get back a touch later than planned Sherin responds to put mind and ease and no problem, no rush and all wonderful."

Our daughter was full of smiles the whole day, even after Rachael left which shows how much she enjoyed her company."
Mrs Hobson, LONDON, N17
"Tas is absolutely fantastic, this is the third time she has baby sat Scarlett and is truly exceptional with babies. She sings and dances with my little girl to entertain her and she knows how to calm a screaming baby who is experiencing separation anxiety from the parent. Will hopefully continue to have Tas for my future bookings as she really is the best put there. Thank you again Tas."

"We had the pleasure of having Azeb as our babysitter for an entire day while we were working from home, and she was really great! From the moment she arrived, she had a little toy with her, which instantly won the trust of our one-year-old and four-year-old. What stood out the most was that she never lost sight of our one-year-old, while simultaneously keeping our four-year-old entertained with various creative activities. At the end of the day, she provided a detailed debrief, writing down everything the children had done, which we found invaluable. Our children really enjoyed their time with her they clearly felt comfortable and happy throughout the day. On top of her skills as a babysitter, Azeb is simply a friendly, good-hearted person who brings a positive energy into the home. Having had numerous babysitters over the years, we can confidently say that Azeb is one of the best we've ever had. We highly recommend her to anyone in need of a capable, attentive, and caring babysitter!"

"We can't say enough good things about Miranda. We have never left our 3 year old twins with a stranger before and are visiting London from Canada so finding a sitter for an all day wedding was a daunting task. Miranda was in touch prior and answered all my questions, making me feel at ease. On the day of- she arrived and we instantly knew she had it covered. She sent photos throughout when we checked in, but kept it brief so we could just enjoy our night out. When we got home, our daughter raved about what a fun time she had with Miranda and our son revealed he had invited her to come to his birthday party. What a relief. Thank you Miranda for being incredible and for giving us the best first sitter experience we could have asked for!"
Mrs Dewolf, LMM,

"I cannot recommend Jana enough, she's been looking after my daughter for a few years now and now my baby son too.

My daughter has become quite nervous around new people and initially didn't want to leave me. Within 3mins Lawrencia had her laughing in the next room. My daughter had a really nice day, they sang, played, read and ai kept hearing her giggling and striking up conversation through the day.. Lawrencia was also a pro feeding her solids and bottle, soothing her to nap and changing nappies. Will definitely ask for her availability for next time, she was great!"

My 6 year old has Down's Syndrome and can be unpredictable, I was a little unsure how he would react to a sitter. He took to Jayne straight away and even told me to go away so that he could play with Jayne. The next day he asked 'Where's Jayne?' - a definite hit! Thanks Jayne!"

We were at a wedding in Wales- not an easy job due to the lack or WiFi and connectivity. Francoise took it her stride and afforded us a opportunity to be with some very close friends on their very special day. We are indebted to her for this. She arrived with a big bag of tricks and immediately assessed the situation with professionalism and attention. And ultimately an instinct for children and for the job at hand. Thank you so much Francoise - f ilim and mary."

Ruth was really on the ball asking about snacks/toilet etc. She did lots of activities with the children, responding to their interests - they made domino runs and built train tracks and with PlayMag. I was really pleased with how the session went: happy parents and happy kids. I'd definitely book Ruth again."

"Tirhas looked after my 3 year old son and 7 month old daughter very well. She instantly sought connection with my son, who can be shy at first, and by the end of the session he was giggling and playing happily with her. I was nervous before meeting Tirhas, having never used a daytime babysitter before, but I was quickly reassured as she settled into her role straight away and gave me confidence that everything would be fine. And it was! I hope to book Tirhas again in future."

I would definitely recommend Pauline and have booked her in for future babysitting."
Mr Lee, EDINBURGH, EH13
"Sandra provided day care for our daughter who is 10.5 months old and was impeccable in every aspect- smiley and warm with her from the get go, she was at ease despite it being an unfamiliar face. Sandra arrived ten minutes early and was open to doing all that was asked of her- nappy changes, contact naps and a walk in the stroller. Our baby wound up being so comforted by her that she slept in her arms for her two naps! It couldn't have gone better and we will be choosing Sandra again whenever she is available. What a great service."

This was the first time I was leaving my baby with a sitter, and she just made both of us feel relaxed and at ease - my baby girl accepted her immediately, as if Hollie were a family member, and that was just a great sign! Hollie is trustworthy and definitely knows what she's doing, so next time I need a babysitter, she's my choice <3 Daria."
