Chris was absolutely wonderful with our toddler, warm, attentive, and instantly put us at ease! She came to watch our little one at our hotel, and we received updates. We highly recommend her to any traveling families in need of a trustworthy babysitter. (For reference, traveling from the US to UK for holiday), wish we lived closer because we would use Chris all the time!

Thank you so much
It was a pleasure looking after your little one ❤️
Cannot recommend Chris highly enough. We were visiting London with our six month old daughter. Chris was a total delight and we felt incredibly comfortable leaving our Lilly with her and it meant we could enjoy some time together! She was amazing with our girl (who can definitely be dramatic). Chris was an utter delight and we hope to see her again next year when we are back. Thank you, Chris!

Thank you it was a pleasure to meet you all especially Lillie 😊
Chris has been looking after my baby since she was 5 weeks old and she is everything I was looking for. She sings to her, plays with her, takes her to the local library to read children’s books to her and on long walks in the park. My baby loves her! As well as being amazing with her, she also gives me much needed tips on sleep and feeding, which I’ve found to be invaluable as a first time mum. She even bought my baby a Xmas present which is now her favourite toy. We are so lucky to feel supported by Chris and I couldn’t recommend her more!

Had a wonderful experience with Chris - we were in London for the month and needed babysitting help for our toddler. We mostly did evenings when our daughter was sleeping but Chris was always on time and pleasant, and was great with our daughter when she was actually awake. Would recommend her in a heartbeat. Thanks again Chris!

Chris has been looking after both our 2.5 yo and 8 months old baby girls for over 2 years now. She is extremely reliable. Always on time (if not earlier). She is super flexible and always make sure she can be available when needed. My daughters absolutely adore her. My 8 months old gets so excited when she sees her. We can say now that she is like part of the family. I’m not sure what we would do without her. Hoping she stays with us until the girls go to uni!

Chris was absolutely lovely, really put us at ease as it was our first time with a babysitter who wasn’t a family member. Chris was punctual, cleaned up (even washed my tea cup) and was very friendly and easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend!

Chris has been an absolute god send over the past few months and I have booked her many times. She’s very good with my two year old, who always gives her lots of big smiles when she sees her, which is the most important opinion of all!
You often hear Chris singing and reading books with my little one and she’s extremely warm and friendly.
Chris is always extremely reliable and hasn’t let me down once in the many months she has been helping us. It’s been lovely to have her around and I’d have no hesitation in recommending her to anybody.

Ahh thank you, love looking after your little one.
😊
Chris babysat my two daughters a few times this summer, when we were visiting London from Canada. She was always on time, very reliable and communicative. Anytime she wasn't sure of our house rules, she was sure to check in with me via text. Thanks to her, we were able to enjoy some good times hanging out in the city as adults :)
