Holly is such a lovely woman with a really calm and reassuring nature . My little boy had never been looked after by anyone other than his us and his grandparents, and we were very anxious.
He was super shy when she arrived and hid , Holly was so calm and relaxed and let him come to her when he felt ready . They were busy playing in no time and he even ushered us out the door and told us to go ! Amazing ! She managed to get him to bed and asleep no bother and staid in contact throughout! Can’t recommend enough ! Will definitely use Holly again .

Holly is lovely and a great babysitter.
I am a first time mum leaving my baby girl Izzy to have some much needed time with my husband. She put my mind at ease and texted me to let me know when Izzy was asleep, Which was great.
I really recommend her. 😊

We are very happy with Holly as our babysitter. Our 3 year old daughter bonded with her straightaway and was very happy to be left with her from the outset.
Holly is reliable, punctual, kind, creative and a great communicator. She has also been very flexible with accommodating our needs. We highly recommend her.

Thank you Holly for putting our mind at ease…Holly was brilliant with our 18 month old, straight away we could tell she knew what she was doing and our son was in good hands. Really put our mind at ease and we will be using again :)

Holly was easy to communicate with to arrange our babysitting, arrived on time, was lovely with the kids and allowed us to enjoy a worry-free evening out. We'll definitely be asking her to babysit again in the near future.
