From our very first enquiry, she was incredibly responsive and got back to us almost immediately. As first-time parents looking for a babysitter for our very young daughter, we were understandably quite nervous. Our minds were completely put at ease from the start. She suggested meeting us a few days before the booking so we could all get to know each other, introduce her to Darcy, and ask any questions we had about her qualifications, experience and childcare background.

She brought along all of her certificates, references and documentation for us to look through, which gave us even more confidence. It was immediately obvious that she has dedicated her career to working with children and genuinely cares about providing the very best care for young children.

Darcy took to her straight away, which made our decision so much easier. They bonded instantly, and we felt completely comfortable leaving Darcy in her care.

During the babysitting session, we were kept updated with messages and photos, reassuring us that everything was going well. She also asked beforehand how much communication we would like, making sure she worked around whatever made us feel most comfortable.

Continuing to be fantastic with communication, always replying quickly to messages and being flexible around our schedule whenever possible. She’s accommodating if plans change and is always happy to discuss timings in advance.

We’ve already booked her again and she’ll definitely be our regular babysitter going forward. Knowing Darcy is happy, settled and genuinely enjoys spending time with her gives us complete peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone who is experienced, professional, kind, trustworthy and genuinely passionate about childcare, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
