I can easily recommend Karen, she has been an absolute lifesaver looking after my 2 children aged 7 and 2. The girls have LOVED having Karen look after them, she is fun, kind and caring. She fitted into our home life so easily and was incredibly flexible when work commitments made is late. 5 stars for Karen!!

Thank you so much. Such a shame you didn't have more hours to offer. Don't forget im only down the road any time you need a 'princess x2' sitter ????
Karen has helped to look after both my two children (3& 4) while I have been busy or away. I feel completely content knowing they are safe and happy with her. She's incredibly kind, efficient and calm with them and makes my life incredibly easy. She's a natural with any children and is always willing to please and help with anything.
