Great babysitter for my babies (and fur babies)

5 stars

Libby looks after our 10 week old twins. She came round to meet them prior to starting babysitting for us and it was clear she was comfortable with newborns (and they loved her straight away).
Libby was patient and accommodating with us re discussions about the routine for the babies and any preferences etc.

She arrives promptly and we are able to enjoy some hours at of the house feeling confident all is okay at home (especially as we receive a text updating us about both babies and our two dogs).

Libby is mature, reliable and trustworthy. It is also good peace of mind knowing she works at a nursery and has good experience with babies and small children (including first aid). We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a good childminder and we are looking forward to our babies getting to know her as they grow.

Kind, reliable and trustworthy - fab babysitter!

5 stars

Libby babysat for our two year old daughter on our first evening out together since having her. We were understandably fretting at the prospect of leaving her with a babysitter. Libby was very kind and reassuring. We had excellent communication with her before meeting, and she arrived for a pre-visit at a time to suit us with all of her considerable references (including up to date DBS checks, plus child and nursery qualifications). Our daughter took to her immediately and Libby was very kind and patient as she showed her her room and all her toys. On the night she babysat, Libby arrived promptly and was again very reassuring and texted us during the evening to let us know everything was ok. She was great with our dog and cat too. It is a huge weight off our minds to have found someone as good as Libby and will definitely use her whenever we need to.
