"My 4 & 7 year-old boys were very suspicious at first as this was the first time meeting Fita. Nevertheless, she was so patient with them and managed to find the way to each of their hearts: either by playing sports, books, drawing or just taking an interest in what is important to them. This was a really good experience for all of us, and by the time Fita was leaving, they asked if she could stay for dinner or at least come again tomorrow."

"I am thrilled with the care Ioana provided for our child! From the moment she arrived, she was warm, friendly, and immediately connected with our little one. Her calm and nurturing nature made us feel completely at ease, and it was clear that she has a genuine love for children. She was incredibly attentive, engaging in fun and educational activities that kept our child entertained and happy the entire time. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking her again! Highly recommend"

"I was very apprehensive about using any sitting service and leaving my children with someone new. Sarah came early helped warm up and settle our children. She came loaded with a box of new toys and books which my children were very interested in exploring. She is very calm and her experience shows. Thank you we will be booking Sarah again!! "

"Estela jumped into a very late notice appointment and was able to pick up the kids routine quickly and get them ready for end of the day and bed after a long school day (even though the kids were tired and being difficult, at least before we left them…) - she communicated clearly and had everything covered whilst we were gone, we returned to two kids and a puppy fast asleep! Estela clearly got the kids routine quickly and was able to settle them, and was super flexible and easy to deal with throughout - thank you! "

"Aisha was completely brilliant. Just fantastic. Our son absolutely loved her company - she played games with wonderful energy as well as overseeing him as he completed the best piece of written homework he’s ever done! Very highly recommended. Thank you so much, Aisha."

"We booked Loren last minute to help for a couple of hours while I worked. Loren was a hit - she took my 2 year old to the park and fed him lunch and sang him songs. He was giggling away when I picked him up. She was kind, fun and had a good intuition as to what my son needed. I felt confident that Loren would do a great job. "
Anna, London, N8
"Booking Jilly was a real turning point for our 2 year old son and us, as we haven’t had a sitter while he’s been awake and have been nervous at the prospect. Jilly was available last minute to look after Cass as we worked. She called before to check in, arrived early and immediately put all of us at ease. We could hear how happy Cass was playing with Jilly and she had plenty of games to play, songs to sing and crocodiles to draw! She took him for a walk, got him to nap and ensured he was fed and watered so we could focus on work. "
Alison, Thames Ditton, KT7
"Ayesh is a frequent choice of sitters for our children. He is always smiling, friendly and punctual. He is happy to drive and to take the kids for a nice day out. Our kids are always in a great mood after staying with Ayesh. I would definitely recommend him and would love to have him look after our kids in the future."
Mark, Hertfordshire, AL5
"Della showed kindness and caring towards our two kids and puppy from the moment of her arrival. She handled a sick baby, a grumpy toddler, and a cheeky puppy all with a smile on her face. She managed to feed all 3 dinner and the two little humans lunch and a snack before that as well as bed time! An absolute star. "

"The boys loved having Kate look after them whilst we had a little date night. This is the first time using a babysitter other than grandparents and honestly was instantly at ease. The children were shoving us out the door 🤣 To my surprise both boys were fast asleep when we got home. Would definitely recommend, Kate is absolutely amazing and we hope to have her back in the future. "
Carly, Wakefield, WF2
"Dona had the warm confident air that meant our 5 month old son immediately relaxed with her. He’d been fussy while with us at the wedding that afternoon so we were nervous but from the moment Dona took over to do put down he was good as gold. We’d use Dona again in a heartbeat if only we lived in the area."
Tabitha, Baldock, SG7
"This was my first time hiring a babysitter, so I was a little nervous at first. But she turned out to be absolutely wonderful – very friendly, caring, and reliable. She treated my child with kindness and a warm smile, which immediately put me at ease. She also spent time drawing pictures with my child, happily responding to every request. By the end of the session, my child was all smiles, clinging to her affectionately and clearly very fond of her. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience with a babysitter. Highly recommended!"

"Angi was truly one of the best sitters we have ever had come watch our kids. She was so warm and kind right away and brought thoughtful games and books to share with our kids. She calmed two crazy boys down, fed and bathed them and then played games and read to them. I am so thankful for sitters like her who go above and beyond and really care about the children’s wellbeing. Can’t wait to have her back!"

"Jillian was a total pro. We were visiting from out of town and quite nervous about leaving our two children (7&4) with someone new. Jillian immediately put our minds at ease and was an absolute natural with the kids. They adored her - and so did we! If you are looking for a safe, reliable and delightful caregiver for your children, please don’t hesitate to book Jillian. "
Allison, London, SW3
"From the moment Jean met my son she was amazing, so attentive and playful, she took him to the park and sent me lovely photos. When I got home she and my son had made a nice stack of teddies in the corner of my sofa which was really cute. She was so unbelievably helpful in ways I don’t think she knew. I highly reccomend Jean and thank her so much for accepting the job. "
Nicole, Sunderland, SR1
"This was such a wonderful experience with Nataliya. From the moment she arrived, Tess lit up with the biggest smile, it was so lovely to see. I had to leave quickly for the gym, but I felt completely reassured that Tess was in very good hands. When I returned, it was amazing to see my daughter cheerful, smiling, and happily playing with Nataliya. They clearly had a great time together. I would absolutely recommend Nataliya to other families, and I’d be delighted if she could come back again. "

"I can’t say enough about Elisabeth. She was amazing especially for a mum who was extremely nervous, but knew we needed a few hours away. Elisabeth was so pleasant, and reminded us both of family. She is warm and thoughtful. She reminded me of my mom and took my concerns as a new mom to heart. She understands how nerve racking it can be when traveling abroad and entrusting someone with your pride and joy. I wish we could take her to the USA with us. We are so incredibly blessed to have met her and any family who gets to have her is a lucky family. "

"Katherine has been looking after our three and a half year old daughter on three occassions. Each time she has been really wonderful, engaging and kind. She knew our daughter was still a bit sensitive to be looked after a new person, so she brought homemade playdough and some stickers to help break the ice. Our daughter had a great time and we would definitely book Katherine again in the future. "
Bobbie, Corsham, SN13
"Jean is absolutely marvellous! Working from home hearing the giggles from my 6month old was and continues to be lovely. Kind, caring and a charm to be around, she definitely takes the cake :) "
Jess, Cramlington, NE23
"This was my very first experience with a babysitter, and I’ll admit I was quite anxious and skeptical at first. But Nadica was absolutely wonderful from the moment she arrived. She was so sweet, reassuring, and had such a lovely presence that my anxiety quickly disappeared. While she was with my 5-month-old daughter Tess, I was able to go out for my appointments and the gym with complete peace of mind. Tess was doing really well when I came back she had been fed, took a nap, and enjoyed some playtime. I couldn’t be more satisfied and happy with the care Nadica provided. I would absolutely recommend her to other families and truly hope our paths cross again. She’s just amazing!"

"Sian was a huge hit with my boys 13 & 10 - a huge achievement given they protest that they are far too old to need a babysitter! The boys had a giant Nerf war & built a fort - awesome!! Best of all - no trace of the fun had, it was all tidied away. Thank you x"

"Eileen babysat my 16-month daughter twice and was excellent with her. My daughter is a bit sensitive and doesn’t like being left with anyone other than myself and her daddy. She cried a lot to start with but Eileen remained calm, warm and comforting and managed to sooth her pretty quickly especially the second time when she stopped crying while I was still at home getting ready to leave which was unbelievable! Eileen took her to the park both times and told me in detail what she ate, her nappy change etc. When I came back my daughter was in a good mood so she obviously had a great time. I was very happy leaving her with Eileen and felt she was in good hands and will definitely be asking Eileen to babysit on many occasions in the future!"

"Our youngest was very upset at the idea of us leaving and Gina handled him brilliantly. Despite his insistence that he would go to bed before she arrived, he was intrigued enough by her interaction with his older brother to come downstairs and talk to her. Although being very upset when we left, she let us know that he was completely fine 2 mins later and kept us updated on both of them through the evening. "
Molly, London, SW19
"Prompt and baby slept through so obviously a magic angel, thank you!!!"
Naomi, Hertfordshire, SG5
"Sue is absolutely wonderful! She took the time to really get to know my three children and made them feel completely comfortable from the start. She plays fun games with them and even remembers little details about their lives and school from previous visits, which makes settling in so much easier. It gives me such peace of mind knowing they’re happy and well cared for when they’re with her. Highly recommend Sue to any family looking for a kind, attentive, and reliable babysitter!"
Lilly, Orpington, BR6
"This was the first time we were leaving our girls with a sitter. Verena immediately put our minds at ease with her easy but professional manner. She struck up a connection with my older daughter straightaway (my younger one was already in bed) and we were no longer needed! We got a message once the girls were in bed and could relax and enjoy our evening with no worries. Thank you so much! "
Reetika, Kent, ME5
"Julie was an excellent sitter, she was the first sitter Troy has had since he’s only 3 months old and he seemed so happy when we returned - he obviously loved spending time with Julie! I would absolutely use Julie again and recommend her as a sitter. Thanks so much Julie for being amazing! "
Andra, Liverpool, L3

Renee, Shipston-on-stour, CV36
"Olivia made our (usually shy) children feel at ease straight away and had brought a painting activity with her which they loved. She was kind and caring. And from a parent’s perspective, what a privilege to have a qualified, practicing teacher looking after our kids, thank you so much Olivia!"
Anna, Birmingham, B13
"To come home to happy boys who have had a lovely time was really nice, but so was the washing brought out of the washing machine neat and folded. Ashley does more than babysit, she engages, plays and helps, and this conscientiousness is worth every penny. Thanks Ashley!"

"It was a pleasure to meet Hayley, she was lovely to deal with, very experienced and dived straight in. My 17 months old baby had a wonderful time with her (full of smiles by the end of it!) This was my first experience using sitters.co.uk and will definitely be utilising it again. Was very comforting that she was able to just get on with it, with little guidance and easy to have in the house while I was working from home. "

Thank you so much, I hope to use your services again, as do the boys x"

"We had such a wonderful experience with Megs. She was patient, caring, and very attentive to our baby’s needs. Even when our little one was a bit cranky, she handled it calmly—feeding her, soothing her, and getting her to sleep. She also took the time to clean bottles and keep things tidy, which was a huge help. We felt completely comfortable leaving our baby in her care and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a reliable and thoughtful babysitter. "

She played with our daughter all day and showed infinite patience with requests to read many, many books. She also helped her learn how to use the toilet and I could hear her not just playing with her but also gently teaching her too. Penny is amazingly professional and I felt that my daughter was in the safest and kindest of hands. We really hope that she will come back and look after our daughter again!"

Jennifer played hide and seek, cooked, read and has the lovely nanny non judgmental attitude when faced with plenty of ipad time our autistic daughter uses for self soothing. Thank you Jennifer! We are indeed very lucky to have you ❤️. "
Carolina, Gloucestershire, GL10
"I booked Julie to look after my son at a wedding and she was so lovely. From the moment Julie arrived my son was comfortable with her. I was concerned that he wouldn't go to bed at an appropriate time because there was too much going on downstairs in the hotel but I had no need to worry at all because Julie had it all under control. If I lived here Julie would 100% be my go to babysitter! Thank you Julie!"

The amount of thought she put into preparing for tonight is absolutely amazing. She brought toys and stories based on our son's favourite things and left him a note with a special treat for when he wakes in the morning! Jenny is very understanding of our son's needs. She also sent us updates once our son was in bed. Absolutely will be using Jenny again! Highly recommended "

"Andrea was wonderful with my two boys aged 1 and 3. I booked Andrea to help me out with my 3 children under 4 for the day so I focussed on my newborn and Andrea looked after the boys. All I could hear all day was laughter and playing. The boys adored her and she came very prepared with lots of fun toys and games. From the moment she arrived they no longer had any interest in me and were very happy with her all day long whilst I bumbled about the house. Her communication with them was wonderful and she had a brilliant way of defusing squabbles between the two boys. Her experience with children is very evident . Will definitely book Andrea again! "
Harriet, Wantage, OX12
"We were very nervous to leave our 9 month old with Hannah at our hotel while we attended a wedding. But she was so lovely with our son from the moment she arrived and she sent regular updates and photos to keep us in the loop. She called the day before which was reassuring and followed all our instructions to a T. She also gave a written handover of everything to us at the end which was very helpful.Thank you Hannah for taking such good care of our baby!"
Hilary, South Cerney, GL7
"Adele was excellent taking care of our girls, (7 months and 3 years) as a back up childcare day. Her calm demeanour and kind attitude throughout the day won the girls over and gave us complete peace of mind. She played with the girls, puzzles, tea, dolls, stickers, you name it… she also managed all meals and even helped prepare some food that we will freeze and are super grateful for! Thank you Adele!"

"Samantha was totally brilliant from start to finish and my girls - a one year old and three year old - immediately felt comfortable with her. Samantha took the girls to the playground and they had a fab time. They were all smiles when they got home and told me what a fun time they’d had. Samantha was great at organising the girls and called me to reassure me that all was well. Samantha is very experienced, professional and friendly and clearly knows what she is doing with children. I would have no hesitation about recommending her or booking her again. "
FELICITY, Folkestone, CT19
"Vilma came early to learn the ‘lay of the land’ and to know all exits as well as to get to know our daughter a bit before we left; it was her first time sitting for her.

Vilma is a lovely person with a responsible persona and a great heart; we would welcome her again any time!"

We felt very confident in leaving our children with her and look forward to seeing Anna again soon!"
12/08/2025

"Janine was absolutely fantastic. We hired Janine to look after our 5 month old on the day of our wedding at the venue, and I am struggling to put in words how appreciative I was of her. Our little one has been struggling a bit with unknown faces (crying when not with mum/dad) and from the moment she arrived he was all smiles and giggles! She stayed at the venue and brought him over for pictures, took him for many walks around the beautiful grounds. We had a video call a couple of weeks before the event to go over babys routine and she had actually done a wedding previously! She then checked in with us again the day or so before the event which just gave us more confidence for the day. She has since sent some beautiful photos of her time with Trey on the grounds and had even kept a schedule of his sleep/nappies/food from the day before handing him back over to us. I cannot recommend Janine enough, she made us feel at ease on one of the biggest days of our life. Thank you so much Janine!! "

"In the words of our three year old Loraine was the best babysitter because she played with me and came outside with me and let me have a banana! Loraine was fab from start to finish - taking a very last minute booking for us and immediately putting our little one at ease. She had loads of fun and didn’t want Loraine to go home! Would certainly recommend to others and we look forward to having Loraine sit for us again. "

Emma was fantastic we had her for two days running and my 3 children loved having her look after them. My son says he wants to have Emma next time. Very calm, reassuring and very kind. Emma gave my youngest child a lot of one to one which she really enjoyed. Would definitely recommend and book to have Emma again! "

"Katie is fantastic, we have always been hesitant with babysitters and with the school holidays we had no other choice than to get help and I’m so glad we did. Katie’s approach with the kids was so well received, by the end of the first day, they didn’t want her to go! So glad we found Katie, she is so calm and the kids absolutely love her. Will continue to use her over the summer holidays and all the half term breaks too. "

"Julia is an absolutely wonderful babysitter, I can't recommend her highly enough. Chatty, friendly and engaging with our children (8,10,13) she was also flexible when I came home slightly later than expected. Julia is very highly qualified along with having exceptional experience with ND families. Feedback from our kids says it all - 'she is AMAZING', 'she is SO nice when is she coming back?'. Thank you so much too for your 'pottering' - an incredible surprise. We'd book Julia again with zero hesitation."

She’s such a sweet and gentle lady, you can immediately feel her warmth and experience as a grandmother.

"Blanard is a completely professional and fantastic sitter. Blanard took care of our son while we were at a concert in London. We had travelled from another city and were staying at a hotel, but we were running a little late and in a rush, due to train delays. Blanard was so patient, waiting for us at the hotel bar, and once we arrived she showed us and her ID and quickly talked through our son's needs before we rushed off. When we got back, Blanard let us know how the night went (smoothly), told us our son had curiously investigated every nook and cranny of hotel room after we left (exactly what he would do!), and gave us some tips on things to do nearby. Our son was fast asleep when we got back, and was his very happy self when he woke up the next morning. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter! Thank you 🙂"
