Reviews for Babysitter in Walthamstow, Maternity Nurse in Walthamstow - Dorothy

Very good highly recommend

We had Dorothy for the welcome home package, two nights a week and one day and it was very positive. I was recovering from a c section and having her at home for two nights when we got home from the hospital was invaluable.

It is quite an intimate time as new parents to have essentially a stranger in the house but it really didn’t feel that way with Dorothy, she is very respectful of your space and home. I believe she could get on with just about anyone. She is very supportive of how you want to do things and can steer you in the right direction. Top notch at handling me crying - completely understanding and sympathetic. She takes instructions well and is very clean and tidy.

Review from baby - well the little one was certainly very happy! My daughter was always very content whilst being looked after by Dorothy and even the following day. Dorothy will log all of the babies events and let you have a run down of how she was and give you suggestions. She will really miss her.

My baby is almost 8 weeks old, she sleeps all night just wakes for one feed and then straight back to sleep. So if you’re in a position to use Dorothy you should!

Truly felt part of the family

Dorothy cared for our 10-week-old Kai/Baby boy in the lead up to and on the actual day of our wedding; The day before the wedding whilst my husband and I prepped at the wedding venue, overnight so we could have a decent nights rest and wake up to straight into the day. We chose Dorothy because right from our initial Zoom meeting, she put us at ease and had an instant ‘auntie presence'. Sadly both my parents have passed away and her warmth was especially appreciated because of my family circumstances. My husband and I was so so grateful for the way that she took care of our baby on the day, which enabled us to enjoy without worries or guilt.

Family and friends really enjoyed catching glimpses of our son on the day and Dorothy ensured that they were able to express their love and adoration of our little one. She was a massive part of our Wedding Weekend.
Following his time with her he was happy and sociable, we couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Thank you Michelle,it was such a honour to be given this sacred Trust.
Loved working with you it was very Special Xx

Highly recommend!

Dorothy was with us for 4 weeks, one day a week and her help was invaluable. As a first time (and highly anxious) mum she really helped me to feel more confident and to learn to understand my own baby. She is extremely professional, very caring and loving towards baby, always on time and very hard working. She is very knowledgeable about all things newborns and she’s such a huge support to mums both practically and emotionally. She would be a great addition to any household with a little one(s) to look after.
