Families love Sitters babysitting

"Denise came to look after my 10 month old son two nights in a row at a hotel whilst we were at a family wedding. She was absolutely fantastic, a natural with children and I could tell straight away that our son was in safe hands. Denise sent me updates to let me know he had gone to sleep on time so I could totally relax. A massive thank you from us!"

Mrs Woodhall, London

"We've been on holiday in the UK for a month and have been so impressed by each and every sitter. We had heard fantastic recommendations and we weren't disappointed. Thank you for making it possible for us to have some grown up time while on holiday!"

Mrs Kretschmer, Australia

"Very positive first experience of Sitters. Used the wonderful Alison whilst away at a wedding. The children loved her. I've never had anyone I don't know look after my 2 & 4 year old children & Alison made everything look easy. She even managed to brush the 2 year olds teeth who normally runs a mile for us!"

Some of our brilliant childcarers

"My 6 and 2 year old are very shy but were completely at ease with Gemma as she was brilliant at engaging them. Both children have asked to have Gemma sit for us again! She was brilliant."

"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!"

"I felt instantly at ease with her and she settled in immediately playing with the children (8 and 5). I felt that Pippa was extremely capable and unflappable, whilst being lovely and kind too."
