Incredible babysitter

I’ve truly never come across anyone like Emma. I was in tears when she saved my weekend and so touched how she literally drove all the way from Reading to Bournemouth to babysit my daughter. Emma responded instantly and was punctual even with traffic.

I’m currently going through hell with my landlord as they refused to treat mould that constantly affects my health and currently in the process of moving out. I just recovered from the worst flu and really needed a break as I was overwhelmed, I couldn’t find a babysitter and my usual babysitter was unavailable, then I found Emma. A true God send because I cried tears of joy when she was on her way and at the festival as I don’t have any family support. Mothers truly know how we treasure a break. and just knowing my daughter was in safe hands with such a beautiful person who genuinely cares for children and Mothers was so reassuring.

Anyone would have cancelled or refused as they weren’t in the area. Thank you so much Emma. I truly can’t recommend a babysitter enough. Not only did she drive nearly 2 hours but constantly reassured me my daughter was safe and made sure she had a lovely time at the park and bought her sweets. I’ve never come across someone who would reschedule their whole day for a stranger and drive 2 hours to help them in traffic. It is a true testament to her heart.

Incredible babysitter

I can’t recommend Zena enough. I’ve honestly never come across a babysitter like Zena, from the first conversation to meeting in person communication was impeccable and she was extremely warm. Zena responded instantly to an emergency, I was very nervous because I usually have family babysit but due to a family breakdown, I had to reach out to a babysitter on Childcare. I’m so grateful that I met Zena. Zena is truly God sent. It’s so difficult, especially as a single parent when it comes to managing your personal life and childcare, all my worries were put to rest immediately when I met Zena. She’s such an incredible, bubbly, and lovely lady that any child would feel completely at ease and her presence. Zena bonded so quickly with my daughter, and she had so many incredible toys and such a lovely home that my daughter felt right at home that she was shooing me away to leave when I dropped her off! Rest assured your children are in safe hands and in such a warm and lovely home. It’s very rare to come across a babysitter who genuinely loves caring for children and people. Thank you so much Zena.

The best babysitter I’ve ever had

I’m truly grateful for Imogen, today was the first time Imogen has looked after my daughter while I was away at a conference today. Usually I would be so nervous as it was the first time but I was calm from the first conversation to trusting Imogen to pick up my daughter from nursery while I was outside of Bournemouth. I’ve truly never come across a babysitter like Imogen and I’m truly blessed as I’ve found her at a time I’ve cut contact with my family and no longer have family support. I don’t know how I would continue my career as a dj and a single mum and I truly came close to quitting my dream but life truly has a way of working out for the better. Being a single Mother feels more of an honour with Imogen in mine and my daughter’s life. Especially when single Mother’s put so much weight on themselves. I’m writing this with my daughter tucked in bed after a 3 hour journey home and usually my daughter would still be awake! I came home to Imogen picking up a few bits from the shop that I didn’t have time to get. Communication, punctuality and trust has been impeccable from the beginning. It feels incredible to have found my daughter’s babysitter especially when it’s so hard to find a babysitter who truly loves and wants to look after children. Thank you so much Imogen, my daughter and I are blessed to have you! You are an incredible babysitter and beautiful soul <3

Thank you for such a glowing review. It was so lovely to meet you both today and I look forward to working with you in the future x

Incredible babysitter

Mihaela was a true God send today because I had a court hearing and I was so worried because I was unable to find a babysitter on time until I found Mihaela. Mihaela has been so lovely from the minute I reached out to her, despite me booking last minute she responded instantly on Tuesday for an emergency babysitter for court. Mihaela and my daughter bonded right away and I was at ease before my hearing. Court hearings are often very emotional and heavy, especially during times of a family breakdown where you lose all family support. Mihaela was very calm and grounded.

Sometimes as a Mother it’s hard because we deserve a pat on the back, when we feel lonely and it can be so difficult being strong for your little ones. I’m literally typing this with so much gratitude and love. I finished my hearing and saw my daughter full of joy and laughter after Mihaela bonding and looking after her for the hearing. I didn’t realise Mihaela left a heart warming note for me to read in my daughter’s bag and it came at such a time hours later when I really just needed a beautiful human being with a soul to lift me up, I honestly burst into tears of relief and comfort because I’ve never witnessed something so lovely from someone I just met. My daughter was asking if Mihaela could come home with us! I honestly can’t recommend Mihaela enough. She is such a lovely babysitter and such a warm person. She is the true definition of someone committed to community and a duty of care to children which is so rare, especially to support Mothers. Thank you so much again Mihaela! You are an angel.

Incredible Babysitter

I’ve honestly never come across a babysitter like Anika, she’s such a natural with children and my 4 year old daughter who is shy when meeting new people was chatting away to Anika when I went to pick her up. Anika responded instantly when I messaged online and was incredibly warm and so helpful from the first conversation. Planning, organisation and punctuality was impeccable as she even arrived before me at our public meet up.

I wouldn’t have been able to make my meeting if it wasn’t for Anika as it was a last minute booking. I was so nervous finding a babysitter online for the first time online but my worries went away the minute she messaged me. I’m currently going through a family breakdown when it comes to support, it was so lovely
to meet someone who genuinely cared about my daughter and I. Es feeling seen and supported as I no longer have family support. Sade is so lucky to have Anika as her regular babysitter now. I feel so at ease now focusing on my career after a break having multiple daughter. Thank you again Anika!

Very kind words, always happy to help! Thank you so much :)

Incredible babysitter would definitely recommend!

This was the second time getting a babysitter for my 6 month old daughter and I couldn’t have been happier. This was the second time and I was very nervous because my last experience with a previous babysitter. I could tell my daughter had been crying all day and looked exhausted. I looked for another babysitter and found Becky. With Becky right from the moment I contacted her everything went very smoothly and was very professional with quick responses. My daughter loved Becky straight away! She was even playing with her hair and giving her cuddles and didn’t even want to give me a hug when I was about to leave! When I checked up during the day she looked so happy and all smiles! With this being the first time my daughter was with Becky you could tell she is a natural with children and put me at rest, no tears whatsoever on the first time they were together. Absolutely amazing babysitter!!!! If you are looking, look no further because I don’t think I will be looking else where either!
