Picked up on the kids schedule and preferences very quickly and naturally, and the kids really enjoyed their time with Dulcie."

"Bea has looked after my daughter twice now, once when she was around 9 months old and more recently at 15 months old (I don't often use sitters at this stage though am looking to do so more now that my child is older and more able to communicate her needs). Both times Bea has arrived early to walk through my daughter's schedule and needs with me and she has also kindly put my mind at rest around any concerns that I had in leaving my daughter, particularly as I don't leave her often. The most recent time, I was torn about leaving my daughter as I usually put her to sleep and she still wasn't asleep by the time that I left. Bea reassured me that they would be fine and kindly texted me around 30mins later to confirm that my daughter had gone to sleep (Bea had sat quietly in the room with her to help her calm down and sleep) and I was able to enjoy my few hours away from home. She also texted me later to confirm that my daughter was still sleeping soundly, which meant that I could make the most of my time out, not feeling that I had to cut my evening short and return early. Bea has a friendly and kind demeanour and I would happily welcome her to sit for my daughter in future."

My children instantly warmed to her and I felt happy leaving them, I had been a bit nervous as this was my first experience with sitters and leaving my children with someone other than grandma. Would highly recommend. Thank you."

"What a lovely lady! Christine immediately put me at my ease with her amiable nature, and was wonderful with my seven-year-old who declared how "kind and nice" she had been as soon as she woke up the next morning. As I was leaving the house, they were already playing board games and then proceeded to do a little artwork (although I didn't come back to a scrap of mess). She was also very happy to hear my daughter read and to read to her, too. I would definitely recommend Christine; she's a fantastic childminder!"

"Michael looked after our children whilst we were at my brother's wedding. He was brilliant. Organised and in contact beforehand, flexible on the night (as the festivities ran later than planned!) and really lovely with our children. We would highly recommend him!"

"Rachael was just wonderful! We booked her for a week while our nursery was closed for summer and she was so kind, sweet, patient and professional with our two toddlers. Our kids often take time to warm up to sitters and Rachael had them charmed from day 1. By day 4 they even had adorable inside jokes together. Will be making her our #1 favourite sitter! Thank you so much Rachael - hope to see you again very soon!!"

"Plain and simple - Tina is BRILLIANT - look no further for a supremely capable and loving babysitter for your little ones! Though she was tasked with the thankless job of putting a five-month-old to sleep after a busy day of traveling, our daughter immediately took to her and was thrilled to be left to play with Tina some more :) The overall experience truly could not have been better; we are grateful for having met such a wonderful and thoughtful woman and will surely contact her when we return to London.

"Natasha was brilliant. She entered our house with big smile and endless energy, she put my son at ease right away. She played, run, jumped and laughed with my son, it was more like having a friend over then sitter, he absolutely loved it, at the same time Natasha was very professional, punctual and communicated with us very well. Natasha will definitely babysit for us again."

"Our first time ever using a baby sitter we didn't know and we were so happy when Shirley came. Upon her leaving, my daughter shut the door and before I could even ask said 'I LOVED Shirley'. I didn't think there was much higher praise than that!"

"Tirhas was great, we would highly recommend her. She was on time and build a great rapport straight away with both our three and a half year old and eight month old, putting us at ease as our first baby sitter in a new country. Tirhas was flexible on timing, staying on a bit later and kept us updated with messages. If you are looking for a safe pair of trustworthy hands then look no further.."

She is kind and compassionate and has a wealth of experience in the childcare sector, which reassured me as a nervous mum - I hope she is available again as we all thought she was brilliant!!"

"Brunhilda was a fantastic sitter for our two kids. We made the booking at a very short notice and Brunhilda was super professional,. She arrived punctually, helped them at dinner time and read them stories. We would highly recommend Brunhilda as a sitter and hope to see her again."

"Rolanda was great with my daughters, she brought colouring and books and kept them entertained all afternoon. She is a lovely lady."

"My 9 months baby girl clicked with her from first eye contact! I never left her with anyone else before, but I'll definitely call Fiona again! My Bianka loved spending time with her, playing and doing little games. At the end I received a time update with what my little one did, and Bianka was so happy to see her next day! 100% recommend!"

"Sandra was great looking after our four-month-old. She was communicative beforehand, arrived very promptly and was really reassuring. She kept us posted on how things were going and, as requested, called when he woke. She will definitely be added to our list of regulars."

"Gemma baby sat for us for the first time and right from the start was a hit! She gave a warm and welcoming greeting. She played with our two girls before bed, read to them and had a caring and peaceful attitude to babysitting! They found her also very funny. Thank you Gemma and we look forward to seeing you soon."

"Tonia was absolutely lovely. We hadn't met her before the first sit and instantly warmed to her, and more importantly so did our 3yr old. She was calm and confident and we knew straight away the kids were in safe hands. She sat for us again the following night and our little girl was so excited to see her again and still talks about her now! So SO glad we found her and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable sitter xx."

"Nasrin was great for this booking - it was not a very easy assignment (sitting the kids overnight in a hotel) but she handled it really well; she got to know the girls quickly and managed to get them fed and to bed well, and kept us updated. She also handled breakfast with them and took them to a park until it was time for us to pick them up. She was clearly very comfortable and confident with the children, and we knew they were in good hands."

"We had the delight of Tina being our babysitter during a stay in London. Tina is a complete natural with children and immediately knew how to put the kids at ease and play with them. We also have a son with special needs and she was so attentive to what he required and kept in touch with me so I knew he was ok. I felt totally relaxed leaving the kids with Tina, she has such a lovely motherly warmth and genuinely cares about children. Highly recommend!"

"Shpresa was our first sitter booked via the website and we couldn't have had a better experience. She arrived promptly, was very friendly with our two liittle boys (2 and 3 year old) and we felt very comfortable and at ease with her from the start. She stayed with the boys for eight hours from mid afternoon until midnight and she did everything from playing and entertaining, feeding and preparing them for bedtime. She kept us informed all the time. Also, the house was super tidy when we came back home. We would love to have Shpresa looking after our sons again. Thank you so much!"

"Angie came to sit with our 12 year old daughter a few nights ago. She was extremely friendly and we felt very confident with her in charge. My daughter can be very shy, but Angie had the brilliant idea of doing a drawing project with her. Everything went very smoothly. Highly recommended!"

"Michelle was amazing with our 10-week old baby boy. She came to look after him during our wedding, arriving to be with the Bridal party as they were getting ready and then onto the wedding venue. From start to finish, Michelle was friendly, professional, knowledgable and calm - which was incredibly helpful during - at times - a very stressful wedding! We trusted Michelle throughout the whole evening and could not have had the wedding we wanted or had without her help. We will definitely be looking to Michelle for help again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and capable sitter. Thanks again Michelle!"

"Steph looked after our 9 month old little boy the night before our wedding and then again on our wedding day. We have never left him with someone we didn't know before, so I was feeling nervous about it but Steph made us feel very reassured! On the day of our wedding she fed, bathed and put our little boy to bed for us, which was hugely appreciated! Nothing was any trouble for her, she was really friendly, polite and we wouldn't hesitate to book Steph again if we are in the area."

"We love when Chris comes to babysit. He is brilliant with our 3 children and the dog! He has been coming to us since the children were very young. Now they are 8, 11 and 14 and they always look forward to Chris visiting. Chris is patient, kind and lots of fun! He will always find ways to entertain the children and keep them engaged and happy. Our booking yesterday was a 10 hour day/evening. Chris took them outside to play, fed them supper, set up a movie night complete with popcorn and got them to bed at a reasonable hour. To top it all off, he stacked the dishwasher for us so my husband and I came home to a clean kitchen. Thank you so much Chris!"

"We are so glad we had Patrica as our son's first ever baby sitter. We were so nervous about leaving him for the first time but as soon as we met her we were at ease. She is the perfect combination of attentive and calm for any young child. Despite our son being very attached to his usual routine, she kept him happy for the entire day before feeding him his dinner and getting him to bed at his usual bedtime! We would absolutely love to have her again."

"Chloe was brilliant! Phoned to confirm beforehand, arrived promptly and got stuck in bonding and chatting with the kids within about 5 seconds of arriving! (The kids loved her too!)."

"Karolina was brill although my 9 month old was a little upset as this was the first time we had left them with anyone other than family. When we arrived home she was fast asleep and my two year old cant wait to see karolina again. Karolina made sure she knew everything before we left it put our minds at ease."

"We would be very happy for Lydia to sit for our kids again (aged 9 & 11).

Would certainly recommend her and expect to use her services again."

"Really great sitter would happily use again could not fault."

"Edrina was just brilliant. My son didn't want her to leave and keeps asking when he can see Edrina again."

"Senait really loves children which could be seen with the way she was interacting with our daughter. She is playful, gentle, careful and kind which are very important qualities when caring for a child. It's also really nice and reassuring for a parent to witness that and to see their child having fun with someone else while being well taken care of. Thanks Senait."

"First time using Sitters and wouldn't hesitate to use again. Emma was amazing, arrived calm amongst our chaos. Text through the evening to let us know how the boys were. This morning my eldest (6) told me he'd like Emma to be his Mummy incase I couldn't be That's a huge compliment right there x."

"I was hesitant to hire through a sitter service and had never done it but found myself in a bind. Simona put my mind at ease immediately. She is so naturally good natured and my 9 year old daughter was very pleased with her. She was so easy, pleasant, helpful and trustworthy. I would book her again without question and am thrilled to have discovered sitters."

"Andrea was an excellent choice! She made time the evening before for a brief Facetime chat with our two kids which immediately broke the ice. When she arrived, she knew enough about them to engage them immediately in some chat about football (which they love!). Her experience with young children was clear as her calm, quiet tone worked really well with our kids. There were literally no problems and we felt very much at ease with her being left in our home with our kids. We have already decided we want her back again!!"

"Sandy was wonderful! She called before to have a chat about my daughters likes/dislikes etc and came with lovely crafts and games to play with them. They had a wonderful time with her and I felt totally comfortable leaving therm with her - she was bright, intelligent and clearly loves kids. I highly recommend Sandy and I hope she'll babysit for us again soon :)."

"Joy is brilliant! We had our first night out since having our little girl who is 14 weeks old, so we were very nervous about leaving her but there was no need, she had a great time with Joy whilst we were out and was very well cared for. We are having Joy over again in a few days whilst we are at a 40th birthday party and will be sure to use her again after that in the future."

"Clarissa is amazing. She looked after my two children ages 1 and 3, and they absolutely loved her. My 14 month old is especially attached to me and usually cries from the moment I leave until I return, however she took a surprising liking to Clarissa, and when I returned home she was fast asleep! All in all I'm so pleased with her service, I was worried about leaving my babies with someone who isn't family as this was the first time I'd ever done so, and I'm now a believer! I'd trust my children in her care any day."

"Kate was very kind, friendly and conscientious from the moment she arrived. She showed her ID at the door and we knew quickly that our kids would be in good hands. She listened carefully to all our instructions and did a great job looking after our children. We would be happy to have her babysit again."

"Julie was our first experience of hotel babysitting and we were really nervous that our girls would be unsettled and it would be a hard evening. We could not have been more wrong! Julie is clearly extremely experienced and competent, she brought a little bag of books and bits which entranced and delighted our 3yo while she settled our baby, who fell asleep in her arms! We got to enjoy my husband's wedding feeling the girls were in very safe hands, and when she woke up in the morning our three-year-old asked if Julie could come back! Highly recommended. Thank you so much Julie!"

"We used sitters for the first time when we were staying away from home for a wedding. Clare babysat for our kids for 12 hours and we couldn't have wished for a better person to leave the kids with. Clare was really responsive with communication in the run up to the day. Clare is really friendly and calm and the kids had a great time with her playing mini Olympics, games, watching films and were all in bed and asleep by the time we got home. Thank you Clare!"

"Jack was really prompt and super polite. I felt very comfortable leaving my boys in his care especially as my sister had also used him before for babysitting. My boys feedback was that he was really fun and played football with them. He was clearly a hit with them. Thank you Jack."

"Daniela was great - she engaged with my kids, made a meal for them, did bathtime, hairwash etc and left my house spic and span. Was also in touch to let me know all was OK. Definitely recommend."

"First time we've used a sitter away post Covid and she was amazing. Took everything In Her stride, both boys happy and awake when we left and asleep and happy when we returned. Really lovely rapport and using her without hesitation on this holiday and hopefully when we're back in the future."

"Caroline expertly looked after our two year old son for two consecutive days while we had a family wedding. She arrived on time with toys that our son loved and kept him well occupied including feeding, bathing and putting to bed. She was very friendly and coped with the slightly chaotic house really well. I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a Sitter."

"We haven't used a babysitter since before the pandemic, and our youngest daughter (aged 3) has never been looked after by a baby sitter. Andrea was lovely, warm, gentle, caring and kind and quickly put our toddler daughter at ease, reading to and engaging with her. She arrived armed with books and puzzles and was fantastic with both of our daughters. We really like Andrea and would definitely request for her to come to us again, and we would recommend her to other parents."

"Mary (middle name Poppins) was wonderful with the children. She engaged them straight away with age appropriate stories of Kevin the koala, books she brought along and the SS Great Britain. Mary got stuck in straight away feeding the children at dinner time. The children felt settled and happy going to bed. Thank you Mary. We look forward to seeing you again."

"Lucy is the babysitter a parent dreams of! She truly enjoys caring for your children and it shows in her interaction with them. She is attentive to the different needs of the children and went above and beyond what I expected her to do to give my children a fun filled day! Thank you Lucy from me and my boys; it would be a pleasure to welcome you back!"

"Renee was amazing! I have 3 small children aged three, two and 10 months. She was extremely capable and confident. My baby started to cry, she cuddled her straight away to comfort her. Also brought puppets to entertain the kids. She went above and beyond. Us being from another country and having no family here, it really puts your mind at ease to know you are leaving your babies with someone you can trust. We were having so much fun out and she was so flexible with our return time, encouraged us to enjoy ourselves."

"Kennie was warm and friendly from the start. My children felt at ease in her care. We would be happy to have her back again."

"Elizabeth was wonderful! We traveled from America to England for a family wedding and didn't know any babysitters in the area. Elizabeth took the time to speak with me before our travels and was very communicative up until the night we needed her. She was lovely and made me feel very comfortable. We will definitely look to her for any future childcare needs when we're back in Brighton."

"Antonella was our first booking through sitters and she was so reassuring. She looked after our 21-month-old while we worked from home and completely took control of all aspects. Our daughter took to her immeidately and I don't think we've ever seen her on such good behaviour, no whinging all day and truly happy in Antonella's care. Would definitely book Antonella again."

"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."

"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!"

"Abbie was fantastic; friendly and our kids had an instant affinity with her ! She was in contact before to introduce herself, arrived early, texted us when our girls were in bed. Made our night out even better. Couldn't have been happier !"

"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!"

"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!"

"Margje was friendly and put our minds at ease. This was a day booking so she did lots of entertaining - drawing, playing lava monsters in the garden and playing PlayStation. The children said they had a 100% great time. Thank you so much."

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"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!"

"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!"

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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!"

"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."

"Colin was great, very friendly and communicated well in the lead up to the booking. He brought several activities for our little one and kept him entertained all day. Our little one is very full of energy but Colin handled him well and he had a lovely time. Would definitely recommend."

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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!"

"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!"

"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."
