We hired April for our first sitter for our 7mth boy, and we had a very positive experience.
Communication throughout the process was very good and April was very punctual and made sure that we knew everything that happened during the sit when we returned home.
Considering this was our first time with a babysitter, our LO was very happy when we returned and looked well taken care of. I think he started to miss April when she left, a good sign!
April also made sure that we were kept up to date during the sit and asked all the right questions to make sure that our LO had his needs met.
We will 100% use April again and would recommend, thanks for the good experience April :)

Maria started looking after our DD when she was 7 months old. DD found it difficult to be without me. However, Maria's gentle and caring manner soon won her trust and, if I may say so, her affection too.
Maria has a vast experience working with children of various age groups; therefore she was able to create activities that were engaging and aided DD’s development. Maria is a calm person and was confident in her interactions with DD.
Her duties included feeding, nappy change, playing and putting Mia to sleep.
Maria worked for us on regular basis until DD started full time nursery when she was 14 months old. After that, Maria would occasionally babysit DD during the weekends/evenings when we were out.
Maria is responsible and conscientious; she has made a great contribution to DD’s development. We have moved to Kent and it took us a while to find a babysitter, we found it difficult to find someone as good as Maria; she's set the standard high. I wish I could have brought her with us!
I highly recommend Maria, and I have no doubt that you will be happy with her work.
