Andrea helped me for a couple of nights, to look after our 16mo toddler for a few hours in the evening. Aside the very professional approach (Andrea is DBS checked, provides reassuring info upfront and doesn’t hesitate to meet in person or via VC for introduction), Andrea got on very well with our baby boy who was pretty tearful at first given he doesn’t normally like new babysitters. Andrea’s patience and overall experience (she’s full of tricks and techniques to calm upset babies) played a huge part in our son smoothly adapting to her and within the first hour he was falling asleep in her arms.
Really recommend Andrea (though I hope she will not be too popular as I’ll call her next time we are in London and need a babysitter!).
