As a single parent, it's an essential lifeline for me. The sitters I have had to date have been amazing. Definitely child orientated, friendly and most importantly I feel secure leaving my child with them. I would not hesitate to recommend them." Verified Parent Review Some of our brilliant childcarers "Adrash stood in for my nanny and needed no guidance. She's clearly incredibly experienced with children. Very warm and loving - perfect for a baby. I would use her forever if I could - a Godsend!" "Andrea was full of energy and enthusiasm. Lovely and friendly yet confident. Totally unflappable. My seven year old daughter warmed to her immediately. That is the best test of all." "Sue was an instant hit with my 3 year old who is usually very clingy with me. This morning the first thing he asked was "Where's Sue?" I would definitely recommend Sue and use her services again."

Both children have asked to have Gemma sit for us again! She was brilliant." "Suzette was great with my 6 yo and 4yo. making them feel at ease the minute she came through the door with a game for them to play together which totally broke the ice and was able to get them down to bed quicker than I can!"
