Cristina was fantastic with my two young girls (3 & 6). They aren't used to having a babysitter and one was a bit emotional as we were leaving. Cristina handled it with such kindness and warmth and distracted her with play and fun until she got over it. The girls said they had so much fun, keep asking to see Cristina again and called her 'the best babysitter ever'. Cristina was punctual both times we have used her to sit the girls, came in with a big smile and straight away was engaged with them. She was also very lovely to our old dog that followed her around the place. Fantastic Nanny/ babysitter/ childcare - will absolutely be asking her to babysit again. Thank you, Cristina!

It’s so hard to put into words how grateful we are for everything Cristina has done for our family over the last two years. She’s become a huge part of our lives.
Cristina has cared for our little one with so much love, patience, and kindness, and it’s been amazing watching the bond they’ve built together. Seeing our toddler learn Spanish with her has been such a bonus. It’s incredible how naturally she’s introduced another language through play and everyday life.
She’s always been dependable, thoughtful, and full of energy, and we’ve had complete trust in her from the very beginning. Knowing our child is happy, safe, and loved every day gives us such peace of mind.
We feel incredibly lucky to have Cristina with us, and we’ll always be so thankful for everything she’s done. Any family would be lucky to have her.

Cristina is a brilliant nanny. She's fun, engaging, loving and responsible. My children love her, and we know they are in safe hands when she's caring for them.
Not only does she look after my children, but she always gives her best to make my children enjoy and learn. I would highly recommend her. As a mother, I trust her completely with my children!
