Bev was absolutely wonderful! She stepped in at the very last minute to babysit my son, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was so understanding, accommodating and genuinely helpful. Even though my son was already asleep for most of the evening, she was incredibly intentional and took the time to ask questions about him, his routine and his needs. It was clear that she genuinely cared and wanted to make sure he was comfortable and well looked after. Everything went smoothly, there were absolutely no issues, and I felt completely at ease. I’m so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to any family looking for someone caring, reliable and attentive. We would absolutely love to have her again!

Disclaimer - we got offered space in an after-school club, so we end up not using her services. However we met Bev in person, and called the references she provided - more details below.
We met Bev for a few hours to introduce her to our 4 year old prior to her starting school. Bev was great, very social and welcoming - our daughter quickly got used to her and liked her a lot (usually she needs at least a few meetings with someone to get comfortable). Bev has fast experience of taking care of many children from a few months old to older ones. She provided a lot of written references from previous families that she cared for, together with phone numbers. I called some of them and everyone had only great things to say for her. While we end up using after-school clubs instead, we wanted to recommend Bev given how positive of a person she is, with plenty of experience and many great references.

Despite no reviews being shown on this platform, Bev is well experienced looking after children of all ages and will supply you with loads of positive reference letters from families she has worked for. I thought for a change it would be great to help her kickstart review collection on this platform so that people can find her easier and see how good she is.
Bev was looking after our 10 month old daughter for 3 days a week and from the initial get-go our little one really liked her. Bev is very calming and knows how to engage with babies, toddlers and kids alike. She genuinely cares about them and you can see that in the happy faces of the little ones. Our daughter always had a big smile when Bev arrived for the day. They spent a lots of time outdoors, at book clubs, play places etc. Something different every day. Bev was always on time and it was easy to rely on her. Now that our little one has started at the nursery, we will still engage Bev’s services every now and then.
For anyone having any doubts, please shortlist Bev and see her in person before making your decision. She’s an excellent babysitter and nanny! :)
