We met Jay about six months ago through my NCT friend Sarah and her daughter Lily.

Jay recently started occasionally babysitting our two year old son Ronan and we couldn't be happier. He is a real covid era kid who has spent the majority of his life at home with mum and dad. He has had a lot of trouble settling in with his part time nursery, and hadn't been babysat in over a year. We were a bit worried leaving him with a babysitter because of this, but hoped that because he had met Jay it might make it easier. He's a lovely sensitive kid, but can be a real handful and gets quite bad separation anxiety.

Much to our surprise he was delighted with Jay and had a fantastic time with her. He spent the rest of the day happily chatting with us about what they got up to on their morning together. We are used to a lot of tears at drop off and pick up at nursery, and there was none of that when he was with Jay.

I wouldn't have any hesitation reccomending Jay. I've seen her many times with Lily out and about, and Lily is always happy and well behaved for her. Ronan was totally at ease with her as well.
