Raphaela babysat for my son Leon on a few occasions - she was punctual, lovely, bubbly and very personable.

Our son took to her quite quickly, she followed our instructions to the letter and left me feeling settled for the night.

I would recommend her to you.

Raphaela is lovely, warm and great with children, she has only sat a few times, but my little one enjoys her company.
Raphaela is a good communicator and a hood time keeper - what more do you need.
Highly Recommended.

My little boy Leon adores her, he has formed a fantastic bond with her. Josephine is a good communicator, very warm and friendly and I honestly could not recommend her enough
