Joanne is a great person. She first babysat our baby when she was 6 months and still does occasional babysitting (our little one is 13 months now). She was also our first babysitter. She really tries to form a bond with the baby and connect with her. She constantly smiles and plays with her which gave us a lot of confidence in her ability to entertain and look after our little one who is very active. Joanne is also a calm person when need be, and she handles the situation very well when babies are crying or I imagine when toddlers are having tantrums. I trust her with our little one and had feedback from other mums (when Joanne was alone with our baby at classes/softplay) that she was well looked after. She genuinely loves children and goes out of her way to make them happy.

She is also flexible, nice to be around and tidies up after herself.
