We have been extremely happy with the service. We have our 3 top sitters, however when we have new ones coming the kids are always relaxed because they know whoever comes is going to be fantastic, and is going to make them feel at ease. Always very punctual. Couldn't recommend Sitters enough!!

"I've worked with children for over 30 years. Sitters is perfect for me, it gives me flexibility, the team are always available to help and the families are lovely."

Susan, London SE5

"I joined Sitters several years ago to provide a second income in my spare time. Being a graduate teacher and a school governor as well as working with children under 5 at my local council, I felt right at home. The experience has been great - the staff at Sitters have been amazingly helpful and supportive."

Manjola, London NW5

"Joining Sitters was the best thing I have ever done! It gives me the freedom to work around my school hours and I love that my name changes at every sitting..."shoe", "soup"... occasionally I get "Sue"!!"

Nadica was our first ever non-family member babysitter. Our son (6 and a half months) was instantly drawn to her warm and calm manner and played with her with no problem. We spent the first two hours unpacking boxes from our house move and could hear the baby's giggles coming from the sitting room. Nadica even managed to get him to have a nap - something we have rarely succeeded with! We had no hesitation leaving Nadica at home alone with our baby and enjoyed a baby free lunch for a change! We have made her our preferred carer and hope to see her again soon.

Just to say that I thought Fernanda was a fabulous sitter and the minute I saw her, I felt confident leaving my son with her. Sitters has been brilliant at providing the same familiar childcarers to us on numerous occasions and we have all felt an important bond with these super ladies. Fernanda is the right mix of being laid back and sensible. She has a good sense of humour and is also aware of how it feels to leave a child with a new person for the first time. My son had a lovely evening with Fernanda who was an amusing companion for him.
