Lucy looked after our 8 month old for our first time leaving him at the same time and she was brilliant. Very reassuring and kept us updated. Managed bedtime within the first few hours of meeting him which is quite miraculous!

We found Lucy to not only be professional, but also personable and friendly. She's great with our son and he lights up when she arrives!
Always on time and nothing seems to be a problem for her, would highly recommend to others (and have done).

Lucy came to our home to look after our son for an evening. She engaged well with him, communication with us was excellent. I asked him the next day, how was it; he described it as “perfect”.

Lucy has being doing some ad hoc nannying for our 7mo while I take our toddler out swimming, both girls love her and the toddler is always so excited to see her each week! She’s very calm and relaxed nature, nothing is too much trouble. Very good at communicating, punctual and keeps me update on how little babe is. Highly recommend.

Lucy is our hero. She was able to help us out last minute with some night nannying when our 6 month old was struggling with jet lag. She was professional, punctual, kind, reassuring, confident, warm, aadorable, and proactive. After setting her up with our baby, it was like twenty pounds were lifted off our shoulders knowing he was in her care. She was flexible with our schedule and a very responsive communicator. We are keeping her number for our next trip here. We love Lucy!!!

Lucy has recently babysat our children. We have a 6 year girl and 5mth old boy and Lucy was great with them. We will definitely be asking Lucy to babysit for us again in the very near future and would highly recommend her.

Lucy has looked after our 11 month old daughter on a couple of occasions, for day time and bedtimes, and we can't recommend her highly enough! Lucy is warm, personable, punctual and professional and we have complete trust and confidence when leaving our daughter with her. Lucy sends us updates whilst looking after our girl and has been fantastic at keeping in touch throughout the whole process. We feel extremely lucky to have found a nanny like Lucy!

Lucy was an absolute star. We had a wedding to attend and needed an afternoon/evening babysitter for my 11 month old (who has never been looked after by anyone else), and Lucy was brilliant. She was punctual, professional and kept me updated throughout the day. My daughter was happy & settled when I got home and seemed to have had a lovely time! Highly recommend.

When I first met Lucy I knew she would be a great person to care for my daughter. My daughter of 3 years old always comes back from her time with Lucy with a fun memory made and beaming with a smile. She is also flexible when plans change.I highly recommend her.

I have known Lucy for a while now as doing add-hoc days and overnight. To sum up, very disappointing eventually and I will never recommend her to anyone. Extremely money and self-oriented rather than child-centred. Be careful

I’m beyond disappointed to read this review after it was 5 star last week. The only negative review I have received in all my years.
Totally the opposite to what other clients have experienced.
I am so sorry you feel like this.
I really enjoyed looking after your children for a couple of months.
