Sarah looked after our 4m/o. She kept in touch with regular messages and had our baby fast asleep when we got home. I would highly recommend Sarah and hope to have Sarah over again.

We have used Sarah to babysit our two 9 month and 7 year old children in Woking on multiple occasions for late evenings out from 7ish till 11ish. Sarah is punctual, confidant and great with the kids - it's not easy looking after a very active baby and child - sometimes we struggle - but she has coped just fine!
