I was on holiday in Newquay and was planning an evening out with friends. I decided to look for a local babysitter and came across Marie. She was very quick with responding to my message and came across as very friendly and responsive so we booked her in for an evening. She was excellent - Marie was able to soothe my son to sleep and ensure he was taken care of without me worrying. Regular text messages were very helpful to give me piece of mind. As a bonus she left our kitchen tidied up! It was a nice touch, that I didn't expect. I can't recommend her highly enough, she's experienced and really good with children. I'll definitely call her again when I visit Newquay.

Ah that's is very sweet review. Your boy was such a happy child and responded well to cuddles and songs to fall back asleep, not even wanted the bottle. Being a parent myself, I know what it feels like to be apart of your child with someone you don't even know, so a text message with an update is the least i can do to reassure you. Hope you had a great time in Cornwall and see you again next time you visit.

We flew down to Cornwall from the north of England for a friend's wedding, so needed someone to babysit our boys all day on the Saturday. My boys instantly took to Marie which meant leaving them was much easier. Very experienced childminder who took it all in her stride. Put me at ease by sending me photographs during the day of my boys on the swings.

Love this lady and her gentle approach with my two boys (aged 2 and 4). She is kindhearted, engaging and so much fun for my kids when she comes over to babysit. I've been so grateful for her flexibility with start/finish times and last minute help needed so she has saved me more than once! Obviously very experienced and has brought comfort to my little ones in the night when they are generally used to just me being there. Magic! And a weight off my shoulders knowing they are in safe and capable hands. Rainbow even tidied the house for us and put the leftovers away while we were out - an unexpected bonus. My kids get excited when they know she's coming over. They absolutely love her! :)

I love looking after your children, they are the happiest children, so caring. Looking forward to the next time :)

I phoned Marie on the off chance she might be able to help me during a weeks holiday in watergate Bay.
She babysat 4 evenings in a row for us and we instantly felt comfortable leaving our daughter in her care. Marie is easy to talk to, super calm and friendly and I couldn't recommend her enough.
She was very reasonably priced and it allowed us to enjoy evening meals in peace without any worries.
We are hoping to return next year and will definitely be in touch with Marie to book her up for the week again!
Thanks so much Marie x

Glad I could help you enjoy a bit of our beautiful Cornish surroundings. I would be happy to help you again when you visit :)

Highly recommend little rainbow. This was my 23 month old's first babysit ever and he had a fantastic time. Loads of great toys for him to play with - he loved the train set!

She is friendly and easy to talk to. I imediately felt relaxed and confident about her.

Thank you very much for giving me a stress free day! Would definitely use again.

Thanks! It was lovely to spend the day with your little one. He's such good fun, happy, chatty and full of giggles.

Marie is amazing with my little boy, he took to her straight away when he first met her. Marie is very calm and relaxed and basically just great with babies and children! She was also very patient and reassuring with this nervous mum when leaving my son for the first time :)
Would definitely recommend.
Thank you Marie- I'm glad I found you!

You little boy is such a happy bundle and great to look after. I was really happy when he fell asleep in my laps! Shame he woke up when you call to say you were on your way! :)

Highly recommend little rainbow to anyone looking for a baby sitter. Really helped me out when i needed someone short notice.

It was the first time I had left my 18 month old daughter with anyone and she made it very relaxed and stress free for me. Will use again.
