We arranged for Jamie to take care of our 5 month old son whilst we attended our friend’s wedding. We met the day before for a coffee and to discuss his schedule, this instantly made us feel at ease. On the wedding day, she arrived early and took care of our son like he was her own. Updated us with pictures and messages (a god send to me who’s obsessed with my son).
Will 100 percent book again when we visit south wales again.
Thank you Jamie!

Thank you Ryan ☺️ your boy was a joy to care for. He has utterly melted my heart, he is very lucky to have such doting parents.
We booked Jamie as an event nanny, and she was an absolute dream from start to finish. Her kind, caring nature made us feel completely at ease right away, and our son adored her instantly. She kept him happy, safe, and fully entertained throughout the event, allowing us to relax completely knowing he was in the best hands.
We only wish we could have her full-time! She is truly the best, and we couldn't recommend her more highly to any family looking for exceptional care.
