"Victoria was wonderful, my children thoroughly liked spending time with her. Would highly recommend."

"Tinuke contacted me straight after she had confirmed my booking and when she arrived she introduced herself to my son and tried to engage with him right away. He was quiet initially but within minutes she had put both myself and my son at ease. She was very friendly, warm and engaging and asked questions to get to know my son. By the time I left to go to work my son was happy and Tinuke kindly provided me with updates throughout the day. When I came home in the evening my son was still very happy and said they had played together a lot and started telling me about some of the activities they had been doing throughout the day. He told me he had a really good day, Tinuke read a couple of books with him and they played lot's of different games. I would highly recommend her, her vast experience in childcare definitely showed."

"I could not recommend Lorna more highly. My boys (3&6) adore her and she has a brilliant knack of calming and conversing with them. Im hugely grateful to her!"

"Rolanda was friendly and engaging; my daughter responded really well to her. I was really happy with the experience."

"Martha is so lovely and we were so glad to have her babysit our son. Martha wasn't just punctual, she came to us a little earlier to meet our son and settle in before we left. Her warmth was apparent from the moment we met her and my son felt immediately comfortable around her. We will certainly be requesting Martha to babysit for us again soon!"

"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."

"Marion is fantastic. My daughter absolutely loves her coming over. She is so wonderful with children."

"Candice was lovely, so nice and polite and helpful."

"Corinne was great with the kids and bought some really fun games!"

"Kirsty had called ahead, arrived on time and our little boy took to her straight away. It was very reassuring for us to see him immediately happy to chat to her and show her his books & toys. We have never had anyone to babysit or to put him to bed in the evening, but it sounds like bedtime was easy & uneventful. Just the confidence boost we needed to do more of this!"

"Sharon is so cheerful and lovely. My daughter looks forward to seeing her and always gets excited when she is coming over."

"Yuliya was an excellent sitter - she had a warm and friendly manner, arrived punctually and both children really warmed to her. Would be very happy to book Yuliya again and to recommend her to others! Thank you."

"Great experience! The enthusiasm the next day from our 4 year old says all there is to know."

"Rachael is absolutely lovely with my daughter. I would recommend her 100%. She is so sweet and calm and my daughter loved playing with her."

"Aaryan had a wonderful time with her as she was playing with him all the time she was with him. I recommend her for your child/Children."

"Amazing - looked after two kids under three and they loved her. Thanks!"

"Lilian is a very kind and thoughtful person. She was trying to cheer Aaryan but he wasn't feeling well therefore I had to take him. I will definitely recommend her for your child."

"My daughter loved Sally, she is really experienced with girls like my daughter!"

"Lorraine is simply incredible. Thank you for such great care and engagement."

"Eva was great with my daughter and left us feeling calm and confident that she had things handled when we went out."

"Arijeta was an excellent sitter for our 5-year-old and 9-year-old. She arrived on time, was professional but also friendly, and our children got along with her splendidly. We look forward to working with her again in the future."

"Jayne always made my son laugh and constantly talked to him (both story telling and daily converstations). My son really like people speaking to him and he seems to love Jayne as he barely cried or screamed during the 6 hours! Jayne also told me my son always touched his new teeth which I didn't really notice! Before Jayne left our home, she reset everything, much appreciated!"

"Steph was very easy going and Communicates well from the minute she anccepted the booking which was much appreciated. My son was taken by her. They played well and she was great at putting him to bed. He even woke up asking about her. I would highly recommend Steph."

"Ance was wonderful babysitting our 20 month daughter at The Caledonian Hotel while we went out for a wedding anniversary dinner. She was communicative, efficient and so lovely with Skye who was sound asleep when we returned. Highly recommended."

"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!"

"Abi was on time, the kids warmed up to her very quickly and they had a lovely time in the garden and some indoor activities before bedtime. Would highly recommend Abi!!!"

"Champagne is a wonderful sitter, she helped us with our two kids (age 5 and 6 months) while we were packing up our house and was such a help as well as a pleasure to have around. The kids warmed to her instantly and were really sad to see her leave. A delight!"

"Reliable, competent, friendly, professional. 5 stars for me."

"This was first time leaving my 6 month old daughter. Marie instantly made me feel at ease and after returning 3hrs later my little girl couldn't stop smiling at her. Safe to say she had an amazing time with Marie."

"Where to start! Robyn was absolutely fantastic with my little boy. He's 8 months almost and this was the first time we had left him with someone other than his nursery or family, but straightaway we both felt comfortable and secure in leaving him with Robyn and we could tell from the photos she sent that he'd had an absolutely brilliant time. She was also really kind and understanding about a pair of non-Londoners ending up being 20 minutes late for collection (sorry again!), and even grabbed us a packet of nappies when we forgot they were in our bag that we then took to a wedding! Couldn't recommend Robyn enough, she was lovely and our son obviously felt really safe and happy with her - even if (as usual!) he fought going to sleep tooth and nail!"

"This morning Amber asked me (unprompted) where 'the babysitter' was, and when she would come back. She also said that Leigh was funny and nice. To hear this from her made me so happy and in my opinion is better than any review or assessment I could have made!! Leigh was very calm and friendly, communicated well, and was also flexible with a last minute change. She also took payment via bank transfer, which was so helpful for me as I didn't need to worry about getting cash out."

"Samantha was the first sitter we booked through Sitters and was a great first experience. She was friendly, professional and our son requested her back as soon as possible! I would definitely book Samantha again."

"Christelle arrived bang on time and was very friendly and professional. Our toddler warmed to her right away and they were happily playing before I'd even left the house! She engaged with our toddler, who enjoyed her company a lot and she worked with me to understand the usual schedule and preferences. She sent numerous updates and all went very smoothly. Great experience and we look forward to working with her again! Thank you."

"Sahar put everyone at ease and both my boys 4 and 6 were happy to finish their dinner and get on with their evening routine without giving it a thought. During the evening whilst we were out my son woke up crying, she managed the situation and kept me informed. We'd love to have Sahar back very soon!"

"Abbbi was fantastic with our 4 month old. He had stayed with family before but first time leaving him for this length of time. She is very friendly and very capable. She was very thoughtful to send us a few updates throughout the night. This was a holiday booking, but if we lived in the area or were coming back again we would absolutely get her to sit for us again."

"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!"

"Jack was amazing!. As soon as she walked in the door she went straight on the trampoline. She played lots of games, and even done some crafts. We would definitely recommend Jack."

"Odilia was great! She has an engaging yet calm energy about her from when she stepped in. She proactively helped with finishing up making the kids' dinner (as we were in a rush), and everything was nicely cleaned up when we got home."

"Fiona is an experienced and trustworthy babysitter. She was on time, enthusiastic and managed everything well. We were very comfortable leaving our daughter with her, and she kept her engaged in various activities like drawing, etc. Also, I want to thank her as she accepted our last-minute request to extend the booking for another 2 hours. I strongly recommend others to go for her for any babysitting requirements."

"I cannot recommend Jana enough, she's been looking after my daughter for a few years now and now my baby son too. Resourceful and refreshingly anti-screens even though it makes a lot more work for her. Kids come away with their imaginations stimulated and they sleep really well. Can't ask for more."

"Tracy babysat for our son and he had an amazing time. He was full of praise the next morning and talked about how much fun he'd had playing games with her. We're really pleased with how the evening went and hope to have her back again!"

"Slywia K is amazing! She looked after my son for two days and he was very happy. He was thrilled about having her and could talk about all the fun ,educational activities they did together. I was particularly impressed with the way she was warm and welcoming; you could see she genuinely loves her job. I would normally get anxious leaving him with anyone, but I felt at ease as soon as Sylwia started interacting with my son. I would definitely love to have Sylwia for my future bookings. Mrs. Levy."

"Absolutely lovely; very patient with my son, who was having a difficult day. Took great care of him and kept him happily entertained for hours."

"Chris sat for my boys on the 15th of April - apologies as this review is long overdue ! It was the first time we had ever used any form of childcare services as a family so it was assuring to have such a lovely lady come and look after our boys. I want to thank Sitters and Chris for the great service we experienced."

"Sandra was excellent - punctual, enthusiastic, calm, flexible and caring. We would ask her to provide childcare for us again without hesitation, and can recommend."

"Had a really great day with Catherine today so wanted to pop up a review as soon as possible! It was super easy for my child to feel comfortable around Catherine as she has a great personality and fantastic vibe! As a WFH parent who had a few business calls to make today, I felt really comfortable and confident that the child would have a great time with her new friend whilst I was engaged in my work! And... I was right!"

"Tinuke was absolutely amazing- she arrived on time and just took charge- she set some clear ground rules for the boys and they just took to her straightaway. She was caring, firm and put their safety first. She was dependable when I needed help the most and I am so pleased that I found her on sitter.co.uk! I'd recommend her to anyone else- doubt not, she is great!"

"Lawrencia was amazing and couldn't recommend her more. She came at very short notice to care for my 10-month old who was ill and couldn't go back to nursery while I worked. 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!"

"Nothing but praise for Marta who I would always want if a 'sitter' was required. Thoroughly recommend!!!!"

Lynsey spent her entire time here interacting with the children and doing various activities with them. We are very happy with Lynsey we would love to have her babysit for us again."

"Caureen was lovely with our children and easily settled my one year old son who can be fussy when I leave. She kept us updated all evening and was flexible when we asked to stay out later. She was very confident and capable so I felt comfortable leaving my children even though we had just met."

"Absolutely phenomenal human being! It was our first time using a babysitter ever and Josie walked in and I felt the weight lift off my shoulders. She is so calm and brings such a feeling of serenity and peace and safety. The kids loved her and regularly ask about her and we will definitely be happy to have her in our home again and again!"

"It was our first time using a sitter so I was a bit apprehensive but Jayne made me feel immediately at ease and I felt comfortable leaving my children with her. 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!"

"I highly recommend Stevie as a sitter! She immediately connected with our boys, 4 and 6 years old. She is calm and we felt really comfortable leaving our children in her care. She kept us updated during the evening and both kids were asleep when we arrived home. The boys have asked for Stevie to come back, which to me is the best review you can receive as a sitter."

She was extremely warm even when I haven't met her yet, I loved her professionalism in looking after my daughter who had ASD, I was relaxed to know my daughter were in excellent care. I will definitely book Nathalie again and thank you for all your care and wonderful service. Amina."

"Lindita was super. A lovely warm personality. She immediately jumped straight into playing and engaging with our two year old. He was so relaxed and happy with her before we left.

"Francoise was really a truly wonderful childcare professional. She really really cares for children and was honestly both interested and thoughtful towards our two young boys. 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."

"Des is an angel! We wanted to find a sitter for our 3.5 month old for the first time so were understandably a bit nervous. Des was so calm and reassuring that everything would be fine. Our baby boy had a wonderful time with her and she wasn't phased by his recent bottle refusal, even managed to get a few mLs in him. We came home to a sleeping baby and a calm house. We're so fortunate that we have found Des and will definitely be seeing her again for future bookings."

She cheered him up and successfully got him to bed with no problems and messaged me to let me know he was asleep. I would highly recommend her."

"As soon as Ruth arrived she began building rapport with the kids, listening to what they had to say and interacting with them. 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."

And it was! I hope to book Tirhas again in future."

She very quickly adapted to our home and rhythms and I felt very comfortable with trusting her to look after either of my boys (2 1/4 and 6 months). I would definitely recommend Pauline and have booked her in for future babysitting."

"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."

"Hollie was absolutely amazing, she went above and beyond for us. 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."

Also has games & to-do's in mind Lauren always lets me know when the boys are asleep - messages with any questions- which I really appreciate (I always forget to mention something before we head out!)."

"This was our second time using Gina when in London and she really is just great! The kids remembered her and were excited to play with her."

"Adelina was absolutely wonderful. She made myself and my 2.5 year old daughter feel very comfortable straight away. It's clear she has a lot of experience with kids and is naturally amazing with them. 2 days later and my daughter is still talking about how fun and nice Adelina is. Will use her again in a heartbeat anytime we are in London."

"Aba looked after our 3 children aged 7, 5 and 2 and we cannot recommend her enough. Aba's communication was great beforehand and she had a wonderful warm personality that the children loved. Aba was great at calming our littlest one who was unsettled when we were leaving and the next morning she woke up asking "where is Aba, my friend?" and telling us that she gave great cuddles. The children played games with Aba and were thoroughly entertained. Thanks Aba!"

"This was a very last minute booking and Corrine was a breath of tranquility! She had plans for activities and cooking which my two adored. They couldn't have had more fun... And we enjoyed the regular update photos of all the joy. Corrine is a new favourite... Can't wait to play with her again!"

She was extremely prompt, polite, excellent with our girls and overall very professional - she made us feel very comfortable that she would be calm and in control for the evening. We would highly recommend!!"

"Leonie was fabulous. She bonded instantly with my twelve year old twins who think they are too old for babysitters ( but clearly are not!). They loved her! I understand they even stayed off their iPads a lot of the day and played games together. They even asked when she would be coming again! From my perspective Leonie sent me little updates throughout the day to let me know how they were getting on. I felt very confident leaving my children in her care."

"Lynda was superb. She came armed with enthusiasm and games. She had the children engaged and comfortable within seconds (no exaggeration!). Positive reviews from children the next day - she's a gem."

"Rachael is absolutely brilliant. Wonderfully bubbly and fit right in here. My daughter instantly got on super well with her (a shared love of small chickens was a great start). Will absolutely be booking Rachael again."

"Robyn provides outstanding care; not only through love but education & development. She has looked after our little boy from 3 months old & he adores her, squealing with joy on sight. We have always felt perfectly at ease & relaxed knowing Robyn is looking after our boy. She comes highly recommended!"

"Annemarie was fantastic, as soon as we met she was very positive and answered all my questions before I even asked. I felt very secure and happy leaving my two children aged 7 and 9 in her care and my children enjoyed the activities that Annemarie had bought along with her. Annemarie encouraged the children to tidy up and helped also. To my surprise Annemarie brought in my washing off the washing line as worried the children may get them wet from playing in the paddling pool and folded the clothes neatly and a lot better than what I would do. I truly recommend Annemarie to baby sit again in the future."

"Chrissie was amazing with the children, professional and kind when dealing with them, my children even asked for her the next day so that they could play with her. Thank you for taking care of my children, they enjoy the time spent together. I recommend Chrissie to anyone who'd like to have their children happy and well looked after."

"Robyn was an exceptional babysitter to our 5 month old daughter. We used her for support at my brother's wedding so we could join in with the festivities. She arrived on time, armed with lots of toys and entertainment... And plenty of cuddles. Our daughter instantly warmed to Robyn and was calm throughout. This was our first time booking a babysitter for our child and Robyn listened to our anxiety about this beforehand, offering plenty of phonecalls to get acquainted and sending us her experience with infants to put our mind at ease. Thank you Robyn, for being so fantastic."

"Sarah is a lovely lady who I used from sitters for the first time. I was nervous. However she did more than I expected kept me updated throughout.She looked after my 2 boys 10& 2 so you can imagine how difficult that could. but she got them to eat dinner and asleep in bed without much fuss. They also really enjoyed her being there. I Will be asking her to watch them again in the future !"

"Lilian was a great babysitter, she sent updates, were detailed orientated and the kids loved her as a babysitter. Her communication is great and she was very flexible to accommodate our needs. Would certainly book her again."

"Noveera seemed friendly and understanding from the moment we met. She listened to my instructions and entertained my son whilst I had to go out with my daughter. I would use Noveera again if the opportunity arose."

"This was the first time we had left our two children with a sitter through an agency and we could not have been happier with Gemma. She was super efficient and got in touch well in advance to check details etc. She was very calm and professional and put us all at ease. She read to my 7 year old daughter and was very patient with her when she tried it on and wanted to stay up later. We would definitely book Gemma again and recommend her to other parents. Thanks Gemma!"

"Just perfect, marta made me feel completely secure, she is the first baby sitter i have ever used. She made me feel reassured from the get go and then upon meeting her, She is a calm, collected person with a great attitude, training and experience. Thank you."

"Second time I have used Marta and again she has gone above and beyond to keep my children entertained. I would definitely use her again!"

"My son was quite nervous about having a sitter for the first time in a while, having had a few health issues in the past 18 months. He'd met Amy once before and she was excellent at speaking to him and asking what he would like to do. It meant that we could head out confident that he would be okay. And he had a great evening. Amy really is a star. Thank you."

"Jane was absolutely wonderful with our 5 year old daughter, playing games and reading stories and putting her to bed. In fact, our daughter loved it so much that her first question on our return was whether Jane could babysit again! We'd love Jane to return. A great success all round."

"Audrey was amazing. She interacted with them throughout the day and my children had a really fun day with her. The main purpose of getting a sitter in so I could work from home without being disturbed by my children and it went to plan. I would highly recommend Audrey!!"

"Aysel was an amazing babysitter for our son, Amos. She is warm, and thoughtful and they got along fantastically. We'd love to have her back anytime!"
