Katie looked after our ten-year-old daughter for four evenings while we were visiting Edinburgh for a week of the Festival in August 2023; on one evening the nine-year-old son of a friend of my wife, who was also staying with us for a few days, was there too. We've hired babysitters during the Festival for almost every year of my daughter's life, and I can say that Katie was one of the two best ones we've ever had. My daughter takes time to get to know people, but Katie made that easy; she engaged extremely well with her, played games with her, chatted to her, read to her and one evening made dinner for her. All being well, we'll be booking Katie next year! Highly recommended!
