Jill has babysat for us, and our expanding family (from 1 - 3 children since she's been with us) for the past 5 years - and I cannot sing her praises and loveliness enough. Our children adore her, often looking forward more to storytime and songs with Jill than with us. She is like the perfect Grandma - only much better behaved! It is only now that we are relocating that I am happy to recommend her - as I was always far too worried that she'd get too booked up if I said how great she was. An amazing carer to leave your children with - we will all sorely miss her when we move.

Sitters childcarers love what they do

Loved by our families since 2003, Susan has sat for Sitters families on over 1,500 occasions. Here she explains why she loves working in childcare:

Having sat for Sitters families on more than 1,800 occasions, our wonderful carer Sue explains why she loves meeting new families:

"I have been working with Sitters for 17 years now and over that time I have met many lovely families. The Sitters service is professional, fast and reliable and I love the fact you can receive feedback from families. The application process is thorough so families can be assured their children will receive the best of care."

"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."

"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"!!"

Due to an emergency with our childcare we signed up to sitters as we needed childcare cover urgently for the following day. I was quite nervous about how my 3 year old daughter would react having only ever had people she knows look after her but as soon as Phyliss arrived she introduced herself to my daughter and informed her she was looking after her for the day. My daughter was wrapped with the responsibility and waved me off telling me to have a good day at work! Phyliss has years of experience with children of all ages and I have no hesitation in recommending her.

Michelle was great! It was our first time getting a non-family babysitter to put our 16 month old to bed. We were worried how it might go but it was not necessary. Within minutes of arriving, Michelle had struck a bond with our son, and he was wrapping his arms around her neck for a cuddle. We left to them playing happily and it really put us at ease. She was punctual and kept us informed how the night was going. He woke up a very happy boy in the morning! We would not hesitate to have Michelle back again as our son had such a lovely time. Thanks for everything!
