Sarah minded our little girl Eva for almost 18ms since she was about 10 months. I cant rate her highly enough for young babies / toddlers. She was wonderful with her right from the very start and has a lovely gentle loving manner about her. Eva used to run up to her door and was always greeted with hugs and smiles as she ran to Sarah (or to Sarahs kids...who are lovely children, kind and gentle, well mannered who used to take such care of Eva too! They were more like older siblings / cousins!).

Sarah did loads of activities with Eva, from playgroups, rhyme time, visits to various parks to crafts and art and water play at home. She also has a trampoline (along with millions of other toys) at home which Eva loved (so much its Santas gift to the family this year!). She made lovely food and got her to eat far more than she will at home. She also is wonderful for daily diary and pictures and keeping you up to date with milestones and development.

I really cant explain how wonderful we found Sarah and how lucky we were to find her. Eva can be quite highly strung at times and is v active. Sarah not only helped her, but us too, though some difficult periods and frustrations as she was growing and also with the birth of her new baby sister. She is v. knowledgable and helpful but most of all very loving. Which meant so much as our family were all abroad and its so important for little children to be loved and happy and to feel safe. I never once questioned Sarahs love or commitment to Eva and trusted her completely. We always felt like Eva had a second family at Sarahs. Eva only stopped going in Sept as we moved back to Ireland. The single biggest worry I had about moving country with two small babies was how broken hearted would Eva be not seeing Sarah and her family!!!
