"Anita was wonderful with our kids. They're both quite shy, but they warmed to her almost instantly and loved their time with her. We would definitely recommend Anita and hope to book her again soon! Thanks Anita!"

"Clare was the first sitter we used through this site & gave us such a positive experience we now wouldn't go anywhere else to find a babysitter! My kids (7 & 9) both really valued being able to read Clare's profile in advance and warmed to her as soon as she arrived. Clare immediately came across as a professional engaging with the children whilst taking on the bedtime rules. The evening went smoothly (despite my two being over-excited when I left!) and on our return Clare described the tactic she'd used to ensure they went to bed sensibly - very handy! In the morning the kids were very enthusiastic about her and very happy at the suggestion of her returning - the greatest testament! My husband and I share their thoughts. Clare is firm but fair - the kids had fun with her but went to bed without a hitch. I would highly recommend Clare and Sitters as a whole. After a recent experience of a nanny from another agency babysitting but spending the whole time on her phone It is such a relief to be able to have a resource that provides true professionals that my children are happy to be looked after by."

She was friendly, warm and got chatting to the girls straight away. She even brought some crafts with her for them to do together, which they really appreciated and enjoyed making. It was a great ice breaker! The girls said Anne was really nice with them and they'd be very happy for her to come again (as would we!). Thanks Anne!"

"Thanks to Beverley for looking after our 8 month old little boy. She made us feel very at ease and we would happily ask her to babysit again."

"My daughter hasn't stopped talking about Devia. Devia engaged with my daughter so well and brought games and books which could not have been more perfect for her. Devia made my daughter (and myself) feel totally at ease. So much so that my daughter has asked when Devia will be coming again. Highly recommend Devia."

It is really comforting for me to know our daughter had such a great time and talked to us about all the fun activities she did with Janet. Thank you."

"Caureen took care of my 3 month old son whilst we were meeting friends for a dinner. We were delighted with how she handled our baby.

I can absolutely recommend Caureen for babies and children of any age."

"Lovely lady who was very calm and reassuring to my clingy three year old."

"Brilliant, so trustworthy and a lovely warm personality."

"Helena was amazing from the moment she arrived. Due to covid restrictions we had only come back to the UK the day before, but despite having to look after an 8 month old who had only been in the country for one day, she had him in her arms and relaxed within minutes. Her flexibility was also incredible. Airbnb had cancelled on us, so we needed to rapidly change address, but this was not a problem and Helena was more than happy to rearrange. We also extended the booking overnight so that there was additional help as we had work booked very early the next morning, but this was again not an issue and she was happy to stay the whole night. It had been our first time using Sitters and we will definitely be using it again, and have kept Helena as a favourite as we very much hope to have her come back again next time."

"My daughter had an amazing morning with Natalie and would really love to have her as her regular sitter. I was reassured knowing that my lil one was comfortable with her care. Bliss."

"Patrica was our first sitter from Sitters and we couldn't have been happier. She was extremely friendly and professional and we enjoyed hearing about her background and experience. Our son Ollie was fast asleep so didn't meet Patricia but we would definitely like Patricia to babysit for him in the future!"

"Eva is an excellent baby sitter , her punctuality , commitment to work and flexibility to cater around your needs is just simply brilliant. She has been in this field for so long and she absolutely knows how to keep the babies happy and children active and parents comfortable . We are so lucky to have found her , Absolute gem and we love her like our family member . Highly recommend her x."

"Sharon was fantastic with both our kids and took their bombardment of questions in her stride when she had just arrived. Friendly, chatty and patient, she settled our kids quickly into bed, as if she had known them for years! We would have no hesitation in asking for her again."

"Shoronna was great and we felt comfortable leaving our 8 month old with her. Would definitely book her again."

"Felt very comfortable and everything went smoothly. Would book her again."

"Colleen is brilliant with our two year old and it is clear how experienced she is with children. It was lovely having her here and we hope to see her again soon."

"Mary was great. Out son was asleep when she arrived, but she made sure to ask what to do if he woke up. We'd be very happy to book her again."

"Charlotte was fantastic , she accommodated an early weekend start, and Lilly my 4 year old took to her straight away. They did Lilly's homework together and Charlotte provided a lot of fun. They made playdough. I came home to a very happy 4 year old, and the dishes washed ! I would definitely recommend Charlotte."

"Leonie was lovely!"

"Annabelle was very reliable and easy going. Definitely recommend."

"We were on vacation and booked Beverley for 5 hours to look after our 2 months old baby. She was very lovely with our little one. When we returned, the little one was deeply sleeping and happy after she woke up. So everything went very well. I would always book her again and can only recommend! Thanks so much again Beverley!"

"Janice was great. She arrived on time, asked all the relevant questions before we went out and left us with the sense that she was very much in control. Our twins also seemed to enjoy her company and described her as 'kind'. She also impressed them with her knowledge of Pokemon cards :)."

"Georgia sat for my 2 boys (18 months and nearly 3) at a hotel for the evening while I returned to a wedding. First time I've left them with a sitter like this and it couldn't have gone better. The boys told me of the fun they had before she managed bedtime no problem and got them both asleep (not guaranteed when the kids were staying in a new place). My nearly 3 year old asked when he could play with Georgia again soon. High praise . Highly recommend."

"Nasrin was really lovely, Our youngest was upset when she first arrived and she took him into her arms, read a book with him and sang him to sleep. He calmed instantly. Our eldest has asked 'when can Nasrin come back?' Every day since. She was really professional and asked all of the right questions. When our taxi home cancelled so we were late, she was really understanding. We would love to have her babysit for us again."

"Susan turned up early was super professional and lovely. My kids loved her! She played lots of games and they were excited to tell us about their evening in the morning. Would definitely love to have Susan again!"

"Lovely lady - called ahead, was on time and was a hit with our 9 year old twin boys! Text us to let us know they were in bed asleep so we could relax and enjoy our evening... would happily use again and recommend on."

"Kit was wonderful. She came in full of positive energy and our three children (2, 8, 11) warmed to her at once. She offered to do homework with our 8 year-old and miraculously was able to get our 2 year-old to sleep on time while we were away. We found all three children nicely tucked in and sleeping when we came home from dinner."

"Diana was absolutely wonderful with our 8 month old daughter. Having only left her a couple of times before, I was a bit nervous about a daytime sit. However, Diana was lovely and immediately put me at ease she connected with my daughter immediately. I came home to a relaxed, happy baby. Will definitely book Diana again if she is available."

"Francoise is a lovely lady - she phoned ahead to let me know she was coming, and was so good with my little one from the word go. He hasn't been with a sitter before so I was worried about how he would be - she kept him busy whilst I left, and kept me updated with messages . I would definitely use Francoise again and would recommend her to everyone."

"Anne Marie was a fantastic sitter for our twins. She was in touch with us prior to the booking and arrived promptly. Our twins instantly warmed to her and she read them a bedtime story whilst we were getting ready to leave for our evening out. Highly recommend Anne Marie!"

"David is incredibly friendly and nice. He made our girls feel immediately comfortable, they even told him their life story in detail! He spent time playing and reading stories with them and made sure they followed their bedtime routine. I was 100% confident the girls were in good hands. He even took care of our dog :). Highly recommend."

"Sharmila was wonderful! Our first experience of Sitters & it was such a positive one! When asking how the evening went, our eldest (6) said "I love Sharmila, can she come again?" & told us how they spoke about lots of things including Mount Everest! Sharmila was punctual (amazing given the volume of traffic after rugby!), friendly & warm. Our youngest (3) was initially fairly shy though Sharmila made it so that we could leave without any tears. Sharmila updated us throughout the evening. Thank you so much!"

"Camille was great with my 9 and 13 year old boys. My youngest really enjoyed playing board games with her - she even brought one along from home. She knew to give my eldest lots of space to get on with his own thing. They both think she is pretty cool with her background in archery and rock climbing.Will definitely ask her back."

"Barla was very friendly with the children. She played puzzles and read books to my daughter and she made her feel very comfortable and happy while we were away. She also engaged my older son and ensured they both a good time. She cleaned up after her and tidied up. I would definitely recommend Barla."

"This was our first time using sitters and we give Yemisi 10/10. She came punctually and immediately engaged with both my children and to quote my son "played lots of fun games with us". She was warm, confident, very polite and left the house really tidy, which is no mean feat as my children are incredibly messy usually!! Would book her again without any hesitation."

"I was nervous to leave my 16 month old for the first time with a sitter but Lucy put us at ease immediately with her happy smiley demeanour. Following our booking Lucy got in touch for a chat beforehand and I could tell from our chat that she would be a kind and considerate person to look after our little one. Lucy arrived promptly and was happy to give him his bottle and put him to bed. This has given me confidence in using Lucy again and I would recommend her to anyone."

"So grateful to Iesha for accepting a same day booking! My 5 year old had a fantastic time with her. Iesha arrived early, was extremely polite and friendly, and very caring. She was very comfortable from the start with my son which put him at ease immediately. She is now one of our Top 3!"

"5 Stars! This was the first time we had used Sitters and Samantha, and were understandably nervous with a new sitter but had no need to be! Samantha was superb and put our 5 year old at ease straight away - her tractor knowledge was excellent - Frederick was very impressed!! He has asked us to go out more often so Samantha can come back. We are more than happy to oblige! Thank you Samantha!"

"Lela was fantastic, and the kids enjoyed having her over. We really appreciated that she was proactive about confirming everything and was punctual and calm as we tried to remember how to leave the house without kids! :) We'd definitely have her sit for us again."

"Oteri was just wonderful - she had an immediate rapport with our son and joined in with his chess tournament! She texted to let us know all was well and had a great energy about her - would heartily recommend."

"The best sitter ever! Mamoona was a breath of fresh air. My children loved her and even before I had left the house she was playing lego on the floor with my son. I cannot recommend Mamoona highly enough. Fantastic personality- she arrived as a sitter and left a friend xx."

"Babi looked after our almost-three-year-old daughter the second time we used Sitters. Our daughter had little experience being looked after by someone she didn't know. Babi was completely relaxed about this and I immediately felt comfortable that we were in experienced hands. As we got ready to go out we could hear Babi and our daughter singing songs downstairs. Babi sent me a message when bedtime was successfully completed and our daughter woke up in the morning happy and chirpy. We'd be very happy to work with Babi again."

"We thought Carol was fantastic! Such a lovely lady and very kind and helpful from the moment she arrived, she sweetly offered to hold my newborn and let me get changed. (Which I had been struggling to do with an unsettled newborn). My two elder children equally really liked her. Would definitely recommend and like to use Carol again. Thank you Carol."

"We would definitely recommend Kerrie - so much so that we have already booked her for another date! She arrived on time and was keen to know about the children and the best way she could care for them while we were out. She took notes on what we said and we felt reassured by her kind and warm manner. On this occasion, neither baby woke up but we felt confident that Kerrie would have been able to gently help them back to sleep if they had."

"Tina was absolutely fantastic. She showed up slightly early, and was warm, polite, respectful and inquiring straight away. She was keen to find out about my daughters routine and keeping things "normal" for her. Then got straight on with interacting and playing, so much so that my daughter (only 1) didn't seem at all bothered by my leaving (and she's usually very mummy centric). It was the first time I'd left my daughter with someone who wasn't family and Tina showed just the right levels of sensitivity and confidence. She wasn't phased and happily put my daughter down for a nap when reading her "sleepy" cues, and kept me updated throughout. I would have her again, without hesitation. Very competent, reliable and comforting for my little one!"

"Leigh was great- arrived early, really chatty, experienced and a lovely lady. Felt very comfortable having her sitting for us."

"Sonia was amazing! She took care of my 10-month old while I was working from home and immediately put me at ease with her knowledge and experience. My daughter LOVED her and spent the entire afternoon laughing. She was delighted to have Sonia care for her! We hope to work with Sonia again!"

"It was so nice to see Hazel again after such a long time without us making a booking (Covid etc) she picked up right where she left off, familiar and friendly with our boys, so polite and friendly with us and it was the smoothest of experiences from start to finish. We really like Hazel and hope to have her sit for us many more times in the not too distant future. :)."

"Mary is genuine, knowledgeable and a very loving person. She is very professional, very warm and my daughter loved her. Mary was so kind and caring towards our daughter. If not for Mary I could not have survived my hectic work shift. I was so worried with childcare and I can't thank enough how Mary helped me get through that phase by taking us under her wings. I strongly recommend Mary and thanks to sitters team for this beautiful gem."

"My little boy had been ill and couldn't go into his childminder. I needed to work from home so booked Lawrencia at the last minute. It was the first time I had had anyone look after him (he's 18 months) so was obviously a bit nervous, but Lawrencia was lovely & calm and immediately put my mind at rest. She struck up a bond with him straight away and spent the day playing with him in the house & taking him out to the park. He clearly was very happy being looked after her! Would love to have Lawrencia babysit for us again."

"Totally agreed with other reviews for Deborah, she is just amazing, one of the best! We were using the service of sitters when we are traveling in London. We are very lucky to have Deborah to look after our daughter for one evening. She's a very professional and caring person. She brought card games, books for our daughter as she thought the hotel room won't have not so many materials/activities for the kid, very thoughtful. Our daughter enjoyed the time with her very much and we definitely will book Deborah again if we travel to London. Thanks Deborah!"

"Immediately on arrival Ance engaged our children, sitting down and playing a game which enabled us to finish getting ready, etc. Our sons enjoyed playing with her and having stories at bedtime. We felt they were in great hands and would happily have her babysit again."

"Marta is very professional and has very good communication skills. It was my first time to use agency for my childcare needs. Am so grateful i went with sitters. Am so thankful to marta who came on time and bonded so well with my kids. They really enjoyed and kids keeps asking when she will be back. Thank you so much for looking after my kids i was at peace as soon we meet to leave them with Marta. Highly recommended."

"We booked Tracy for two nights in a row to look after our 5 year old daughter. The two of them made an instant connection, our daughter loved playing with her. We felt very relaxed with Tracy and she communicates well. Highly recommended."

"Rachel was an excellent babysitter. She looked after our 3 children and niece whilst we were on holiday in Dorset and out for the night. She arrived with games and lots of stories. The children said they had a great time and we'll certainly use again if we are down in the future. Would highly recommend. Many thanks."

"We can't rate Gayle highly enough! We booked her to help care for our 2.5 year old son on our wedding day. He took to Gayle straight away having never met her before. She was so attentive, tending to his needs all day long. Gayle played a massive part in us being able to enjoy our special day as much as we did. Thank you!"

"Dimpal came to stay with my kids (3 and 2 years old) for an evening. She has been very professional, arrived on time, she showed us her ID and brought many toys and books to have fun with them. She was sending updates on how the kids were doing. And managed to put them to bed without problem. The next day I asked my 3 years old if he would be happy if she comes back and he responded "YESS", he enjoyed playing with her. I won't hesitate to book her again."

"What a lovely, gentle and calm lady Rosemary is. She came to babysit for our 11-week old whilst we went out for the evening. Rosemary kindly finished the pre-bed feed for me and winded her, before putting her to bed snuggly and safely in her cot. Rosemary is a mother and grandmother, and far more capable of looking after a baby than we first-time parent novices! We had a lovely evening and didn't give our baby a thought....knowing that she was in such safe and lovely hands."

"Sonia is wonderful! Our son was unwell and she helped comfort him and kept him calm until we got home. He didn't want her to leave! She updated us throughout the night and even contacted us the day after to see how he was feeling. I cannot recommend her enough, if we could have her for every job we would."

"Jenny was brilliant with both my children (4 and 17th months), she had them completely engaged from the moment she walked through the door and they didn't even notice we had left! She arrived with 3 big bags of toys and books and send me updates throughout the night. She also contacted me before the booking to run through things and really put my mind at ease. It was my son's first experience (born during lockdown) of a babysitter and all went really well and he went to sleep easily. I would highly recommend Jenny!"

"Sandra was an absolute star with our lively 3 and 1 year old boys. The 3 year old can be a bit of a handful, but Sandra knew exactly what to do . Also, Sandra turned up on a short notice which saved our day."

"Trisha was very friendly and I felt very comfortable leaving my boys with her. We had put them to bed when she arrived but next time I would be happy for her to put them to bed. She also emptied the dishwasher without me asking which made me v happy so thank you for that extra help!"

"Libby was an excellent babysitter for our 7 week old baby. She arrived 15 minutes early, made absolutely sure that she understood our little boy's routine, and handled everything beautifully (including two feeds and several changes) while we were out. We arrived back to a happy sleeping baby and a peaceful house which was wonderful!"

"Cynthia looked after my 6-month-old baby girl for an afternoon. She sent regular updates on feedings, naps, and nappy changes, which really put my mind at ease. She was absolutely lovely and I could tell my daughter had a good time. I'll definitely be booking her again."

"At 11 and 13 my kids aren't that keen on having a "babysitter" but having teenage kids herself, Louisa was just great with them. I came home to happy kids who exclaimed "Louisa's a cool Mum just like you!" Was so nice to go out and relax knowing they were in safe hands. Would have no hesitation in asking Louisa to help me out again."

"Barla was wonderful babysitting my 8-year old. My daughter really liked her. She went an extra mile and read books with her. Barla was very friendly and helpful thats why i booked her the next day as well and have added her as my favourite sitter on the list. I will be looking forward to working with her again whenever I need babysitting. Happy mom."

"Amanda is very experienced, very kind and friendly and great with the children. She plays with them so nicely and gets so involved, singing and making up imaginary games. I trust her 100%. My boys adore her. We have had many repeat bookings with her, and we look forward to many more!"

"Melanie was wonderful. She quickly put us all at ease and the children loved her! She settled the three of them confidently and ably once we'd gone out and her communication with us was excellent. We look forward to her sitting for us again soon!"

"Aneta is so kind and friendly and our son who is 4 years old liked her straight away. She read him bedtime stories and made sure he was happy. She also put our 7 month old baby to bed with such ease. Aneta sends me messages thought-out the evening to let me know everything was ok at home. I highly recommend her and I have rebooked her many times."

"My children were very happy to be babysat by Andrea, they both said they had felt comfortable with her and that she was kind. Andrea sent text updates whilst we were out, which was reassuring and nice to receive. I am happy to recommend Andreea as a sitter."

"Heather was absolutely wonderful, really friendly and very warm. She was not phased at all by my daughter who is a reluctant sleeper! My daughter was also completely comfortable with her and enjoyed her company. I will definitely be booking Heather again. Thank you!"

"Having met Elife for the first time to sit for our three children, we found her to be punctual, polite and genuinely engaged with the kids straightaway who really enjoyed her company. We would have no hesitation in recommending Elife to anyone and hope to see her again soon."

"Cynthia did a great job for us recently. She was punctual, outgoing and friendly when meeting our children for first time, and was happy to launch straight into reading a bedtime story and helping with bedtime routine. A thoroughly professional job, and would recommend. Thank you!"

"Lendita was great! She looked after our 2months old baby girl- she arrived on time, showed her ID upon arrival & sent several messages to let us know how they were getting on - we came back to a sleeping and calm baby."

"Rebecca was an absolute pleasure to have. She arrived promptly and was highly professional. She ensured Dedi tidied up all her toys and none was lying about in the living room when I returned home. She put Dedi to bed effortlessly. Dedi woke up this morning talking about the dance Rebecca taught her and the 'ABC' songs they sang. We definitely would love to have Rebecca again. Thank you for your help."

"Jan came over for the first time last night so I could have much needed date night and she was really, really lovely (even did the washing up!!!). But as I wasn't here for most part the main review will come from the horses mouth: "Too bad you missed out on all the fun Jan and I had." Isaac, 5. Thanks Jan hope to see you again soon. Z x."

"Sonia was great. She bonded with My 4y old boy straight away and I could hear them chatting. She was active playing football, basketball with him and taking initiative with entertaining activities. I definitely recommend."

"Angie is a fantastic babysitter. When we left for our evening our little one was tired and crying, so Angie had arrived to an unsettled baby! Despite this, Angie took control of the situation and settled her down right away, and we received a message from Angie soon after we left sharing with us that all was calm. Angie had the situation in complete control and we knew we were in safe hands. We will certainly be looking to book Angie again."

"Hugs, kisses and lots of don't go's later was the impression Kelly made on my 3 kids in just 3 hours. The boys were staying home while I took my daughter to an appointment. We arrived home to find the boys on the hunt for balls Kelly had placed around the house in an imaginative version of hide and seek, which my 6 years olds loved. Super grateful to her for tidying up the dinner things, washing up and getting the boys ready for bed. We'd love to see you again soon."

"Can't recommend Jamie highly enough. She arrived to complete mayhem but took it in her stride. Kids were very happy, and Jamie managed the perfect balance of checking up whilst giving my kids some distance (they're slightly older so that little bit more self-sufficient). Jamie was also flexible and very personable - helped me out no end during a very chaotic day."

"Sabbah did a fantastic job looking after our 8 month old whilst we were at a wedding. Sabbah put him at ease and found ways to distract and comfort him when he became unsure. She updated us on how he was getting on which we loved and had him asleep in his cot by 7pm which is amazing for him! Thank you Sabbah!"

"Barbara was so lovely and made a great impression with the kids from the outset. My oldest daughter Keeva took to her immediate. Barbara was able to engage with her in a fun but also educational way. She was great with my baby and even messaged during the evening whilst I was out to give me a progress report which was great as I was a little anxious about leaving both of the kids to go out in the evening. Loved having Barbara and would definitely have back to sit for us again."

"Jayne was simply wonderful. She sent a text once our booking was confirmed which really reassured me as it was our first sitters booking. As we were working from home, Jayne took our one year old out to local parks to keep him amused. She took everything in her stride, was calm and just got on with it. Our son had such a great day he was completely at ease being taken care of by Jayne. We would book Jayne again, without hesitation!"

"Faiza sat for our two children, 13 &8, and was great! She called ahead to confirm arrangements, arrived as discussed, and then checked again about any needs/routines for the children. She put my slightly nervous daughter at ease within minutes, that school experience coming right out. We were able to head out, fully reassured. We'd happily have Faiza back - thank you!"

"Kylie did a great job keeping our 2 kids engaged playing board games. Would recommend Kylie as she's great with kids."

"Lovely lady and fantastic babysitter! Agnes came to look after our two children of 5 and 7, and we couldn't have asked for better childcare. She arrived early and was very considerate and accommodating for our first time with a babysitter. Agnes immediately put my son at ease (whom is normally quite shy), and it didn't take many minutes for my younger daughter to throw her arms around Agnes. Not the least, Agnes put myself at ease with her natural and sensitive ways with us all! Her extensive experience within childcare was also reassuring, and you can tell Agnes is really passionate about what she does. She immediately engaged the children in activities and the children were very happy for me to leave without any concerns whatsoever. We can't wait to have to have you back Agnes :)."

"Sal was v friendly, and the kids enjoyed meeting her."

"Champagne looked after our 3 month old boy for full day. She is caring, professional and full of energy. Our baby and 7 year old son both loved her. Would highly recommend."

"Faye is a Brilliant lady That came to my rescue of last minute booking. Will be definitely having her again. Thank you."

"Very professional and warm, you can feel Luljeta has a lot of experience and just knows how in 2 mins make children feel good and comfortable. She'll take every initiative you expect without having to ask specifically things, she just knows how to handle 3 young kids as a mum !"

"Kathryn was professional, friendly and flexible. I immediately felt the children would be in safe hands. Kathryn was so relaxed with the children and they were very happy to be left with her, we wouldn't hesitate to book Kathryn again."

"Nicola (Nik) was great- she called ahead to confirm everything on the day, arrived with plenty of time and sent us updates through the evening. She was great with the kids and they really enjoyed the evening. We would love to have Nicola back again."

"Catherine had a really friendly, calm manner with the kids - exactly what they needed just before bed. We left the house at 6:30 so she played various games with them including Happy Families and Uno, then read them books at bedtime. This morning they've both asked for her to come back soon - we also thought she was really lovely so will definitely be booking her again!"

"What a lovely lady. Both children adored her and have requested to have her over to play again!"

"Eleanor was great really warm and fun. my daughter enjoyed her company. thanks."

"Lubna is absolutely lovely. Very calm, conscientious and relaxed - the kids thought she was great too. Thoroughly recommend."

"Great experience with Kristine. My 10 year old daughter who was sceptical about a sitter she didn't know felt comfortable straight away. Kristine has lots of energy, in a really nice low key way that appealed to my daughter. They headed off after a few minutes to play games which Kristine had brought along. Kristine is professional and friendly, we would definitely recommend her and would love to have her sit again in the future."

"Amazing sitter. Off the bat she made my 3 year old love her. She was instantly engaging and read him his bedtime story. When my baby woken up she managed to settle him and reassured me that he was ok. Would love to have her again. Really lovely lady."

"Georgina was fantastic, immediately made the children relaxed and had brought a game with her. She got them all to bed on time and kept me updated. I would definitely recommend!"

"Lauren was absolutely brilliant. My son struggles with people he hasn't met before but he immediately took to Lauren. He practically shoved us out the door, so he could read with her. My son said he had such a good time, and he was such a happy boy the next day. Lauren was fab at helping him to get to sleep. He struggles with sleep but last night he slept all the way through perfectly. She definitely has the magic touch!"

"Barbara was a wonderful babysitter for our daughter and niece (both under one and first time babysitting experience) for a family wedding. She was a fantastically reassuring presence in the unfamiliar surroundings of a holiday cottage for the babies and kept us informed and calm throughout the evening. Highly recommended."

"Kay was brilliant. From the moment she showed up - she was early, had called the day before, immediately showed me ID and then approach very successfully my quite sceptical 2.5 year old. My daughter immediately like her - and was off showing her her room and where her toys were. I've never had anyone able to win over my daughter and so quickly. They played games, went to the park ate lunch - it was a huge success. Excellent sitter and would highly recommend."

"We booked Anne away from home as we had a funeral to attend and it wasn't appropriate for us to take our two small children. It was the first time we'd left the girls but Anne instantly put us all at ease with her warm and caring nature and lovely smile. She took them to the park and they had an ice-cream. My eldest had lots of fun. Thank you."

"Karen was an excellent, calming presence for my two children - they took to her immediately and were very happy!"

"Joanna was wonderful. It was our first time leaving our newborn for a few hours while we attended a wedding. Joanna messaged when the booking was confirmed, called an hour before, arrived at our hotel early and gave regular updates. Five stars / A++ We would highly recommend."

"Amal was an absolute star! She jumped in at the last minute to help us out and was brilliant. The kids loved having her here. She played all sorts of games with our 6 and 3 year old and took great care of our 1 year old. We had to work all day at home whilst she was here and it was great to know the children were being so well looked after. We'd definitely love to have her again."

"Pauline is really so friendly and lovely. She immediately engaged with my 14 months old son and played for 3 hours while I was working from home. She sent text regularly to keep me updated. It was the first time we called a babysitter for my son. She did great although my son is a pandemic baby and not used to see many people at home."

"Kay was absolutely wonderful from the moment we met! She stayed with our two daughters (3 years old and 7 months old) all day, and they took to her immediately. Within minutes of arriving she was deep in conversation and play with them both - and our 3 year old told me I could go work! Ha! She is typically a very shy child so this was really surprising and I was so grateful for the help from such a loving and experienced person, and on such short notice. We would be lucky to have Kay sit for us again anytime!"

"Belinda was top fun for the kids! They had an absolutely fabulous time and didn't bother us once during the day (as we're working from home!). My daughter got to paint Belinda's nails and they also did facepainting. All in all an extremely successful day - I was very pleased to meet Belinda and hope to see her again soon!"

"Ganganee was brilliant! So loving, super caring and extremely responsible! Ganaganee was friendly and warm. The kids loved her. She came at the most difficult hour 5pm after a long day and it was a relief having her around keeping them busy, holding my newborn during supper and an extra pair of hands in bathtime. She sang to the kids, read them a book to go to bed and sat with my newborn until he fell asleep. Such a pleasure and a fabulous pair of hands!"

"Rachael was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. She arrived on time and full of smiles and a lovely calming energy, immediately putting my 3 year old son at ease with stories and questions. After a tour of the house led by my son and more stories and playing, they were laughing together as my husband and I left the house making us feel very relaxed. She let us know whilst we were out that the children were happy and fast asleep so that we didn't need to worry. Our son was asking about his "new friend" the next morning, so it couldn't have been a better first experience with Rachael. We will definitely be asking her to babysit going forwards. Thank you Rachael, and Sitters! :)."

"Lucy is a very reliable and sweet babysitter. She interacts well with the child. I booked her whilst working from home with my door closed but I could hear Lucy and my child laughing heard whilst playing and it really warmed my heart."

"Parveen looked after my 1 and 3 year old boys for a full day when our childminder was ill. She made friends with them quickly, despite the little one being a bit of a mummy's boy at first, and looked after them while my husband and I worked from home... with no disturbances to us all day - a big achievement! By lunchtime, the 3 year old was telling me that Parveen was his friend. She did lunch and dinner with them, took them out in the garden, did crafts with them, played, read books, and writing practice with the older one. By all accounts, they had a lovely day. I'd definitely be happy to book Parveen again when we next need a sitter."
