"Arlene was the perfect sitter for our 2 children age 3 & 8! As it was Arlene's first visit to us she arrived early and was instantly interacting with the children. We felt very comfortable leaving our children for the evening and both children told us how much they enjoyed having her. We would definitely recommend."

"Lauren was such a gift when she came to babysit for the first time. The kids took to her immediately and she did a great job - did separate bedtimes very successfully, and they both said the next day that they'd liked her (not a given for most of our babysitters!). My youngest was dreading someone new, but the outcome was much better than expected - she's clearly natural with kids, and I felt I had nothing to worry about."

"This was our first time using Sitters and a babysitter we didn't personally know before. Annetta was great and we spent the first hour with her as our daughter can be incredibly shy and clingy and takes a while to warm to people. Annetta had come armed with bubbles and was happy to leave our daughter to do her own thing and by the time we left they were playing and happy. I appreciated the updates while we were out and really happy that Annetta kept our daughter happy (not always easy) and got her down to sleep before we arrived back."

"Brikti was kind and thoughtful. My boys asked if she could sleepover, that's how well they bonded. She called a day before to keep my updated on about the time which I felt was very responsible. And I appreciate that. I want her to have the first crack at sitting for me, always!"

"Natasha was amazing. We absolutely loved her. My 7 month old who had only been with family took to her so easily. We look forward to having her back."

She was calm and clearly very experienced at working with children - our daughter warmed to her instantly and she had a lovely time. We would definitely recommend Natalie to others and would like to book her again!"

"This is the second time we have booked Trisha. Yet again she was absolutely fantastic and my 10 month settled very quickly with her. She has such a lovely energy about her and has built such a strong rapport with my son that I will always consider booking Trisha in the first instance. It's great to have found someone in whom I have complete trust to look after my son, you simply can't put a price on that!"

"Alicia was absolutely fantastic with my sons. She was incredibly friendly, asked them about their day and made them feel at ease (they're quite shy). Her communication throughout has been brilliant and she arrived early. I wouldn't hesitate to use Alicia again. Furthermore, a friend of mine who spontaneously turned up at my house not knowing that I was out, was so impressed by her she now wants to use Sitters!"

We can go out for the evening feeling absolutely confident he is in excellent hands. Would not hesitate to recommend her to others."

"Jackie was fantastic. It was the first time I've left the children with anyone we don't know, she walked in and I was completely at ease. Both the children absolutely loved having her. I would absolutely recommend!"

Modupe demonstrated professionalism, warmth, and attentiveness. From the moment she arrived, it was evident that she has a natural affinity for children and a genuine passion for childcare. Moreover, we were impressed by Modupe's responsible demeanor and her clear communication with us. She kept us updated on our daughter's well-being and any notable developments, which provided us with peace of mind knowing that our daughter was in good hands. Overall, we highly recommend Modupe to any parent in need of a reliable and caring babysitter. Her dedication to providing top-notch childcare services is truly commendable, and we look forward to booking her again in the future. Thank you, Modupe, for taking such wonderful care of our daughter and for providing us with a worry-free evening."

"Wonderful first experience. She hadn't met our son before but he was delighted to meet her; she managed dinner time, then bed time and there wasn't a stir! Would feel very confident having Ella look after our little boy any time."

"Such a lovely person. My 2 year old got along so well with her. She was sad seeing her leave and told me she was 'nice' when she left! Would book Jasbir again."

"Shola was absolutely lovely with our eight year old daughter. We would definitely book her again."

"Lucy was an absolute star with our children! She made them feel incredibly comfortable with her immediately and was very friendly and engaged with them throughout. She sent various updates throughout the evening to make sure we can enjoy our evening safe in the knowledge our children were in safe hands."

"Fantastic babysitter. Clearly very experienced. And I love that she brings toys and crafts when she comes over. Also great at keeping in touch while she's babysitter. Would recommend, for sure."

"Maria was brilliant, a 5 star find. Our 7 year old has separation anxiety and struggles with us leaving. Maria was a real life Mary Poppins confidently looking after our daughters needs and ensuring a calm and peaceful evening for the whole family. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Maria and we will definitely use her again. Toni."

""Our best babysitter yet, can she come again?" Said my 8 year old. Kathryn built rapport quickly and my some has played her silly quiz with all of us to great success. She was thoughtful and went the extra mile tidying up too. I'd happily recommend Kathryn."

"Julianna was sitting with my 2-year old son the whole day while I was working and she was just wonderful. He got used to her in minutes and was playing and walking whole day with pleasure. Julianna also cooked an amazing healthy dinner for Andy and fed him nicely which is not always easy! Highly recommend Juli nna - she is super attentive, calm, nice."

"Andrea was excellent as always, going above and beyond whilst always being understanding towards my youngest. Thank you."

"Lauren has babysat for us on multiple occasions, starting from when our son was 6 months old. He loved playing with her and now even though he's now 2+ and mostly asleep when she arrives, we trust that he is in good hands if he wakes up. She's always on time or early, too! We highly recommend Lauren."

"Gabriella was great. Very smart and nurturing, creative and patient."

"Yasmin was great with our girls aged 11 and 8. She played board games with them all evening and even left little arts and crafts gifts for them as a surprise for the morning. She called me in advance to check if they had any allergies or if there was anything she needed to know in advance. Girls told us in the morning that they had a great time with her. I would recommend Yasmin."

She has worked as a teacher extensively and was in control at all times and undaunted by the task. She was very accomodating and stayed an extra hour at short notice which was hugely appreciated."

"Zelley is just absolutely fantastic! She is full of energy, and was such a perfect match for our active 2 year old. I was working from home, hiding away in an office - and the whole day I could hear my daughter laughing and giggling. The moment Zelley left, she was already asking "Elly coming back?" Would love to have Zelley back any time."

"Lorraine was fantastic with my 2.5 yo, she was very calm with him but also very playful, they had a lot of fun, did some painting and they even tidied his bedroom!"

"Gina was an excellent sitter. Arrived promptly and quickly able to reassure us that she was a committed professional child minder. Gina has a lovely warm nature that our 6yr boy connected with quickly. We were in no doubt that we were leaving our son in trusted hands. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Gina and willl seek her out when we are next in London."

It was great to know he was in safe hands and we didn't need to worry - she definitely knows what she's doing. She's a lovely person too and pleasure to have taking care of him. I can't recommend her highly enough."

I've noticed such positive changes in our child's confidence to stay without parents for the eve, her attentive nature and ability to create a warm and nurturing environment have truly made a difference."

"Thank you Neina for looking after our 3month old baby. We were visiting from Ireland for the weekend. She was amazing, arrived on time to the hotel, was so kind and gentle. Good communication during the evening. It was our first time to leave him for a few hours (6 hours). I would 100% use sitters in the future. I was nervous and apprehensive about leaving my baby with a stranger but on first impressions the staff are incredible so thank you Neina and all at Sitters for your amazing service."

"I will describe Kit with three words: "peace of mind". This is the first time we left our son in the hands of a childcarer in the UK. We were nervous and anxious about whether it was the right decision. As soon as I met Kit, I realised it was. She demonstrated affability, friendliness, and care for our son. She also has a spark that led me to know, my son will be in good hands. Thank you very much for your care."

This is the first time we have ever considered using a sitting service and was a little apprehensive but Sasha made us feel confident that our children would be safe and allowed us to enjoy the evening without the constant worry. So thank you."

"We were so grateful to Chris taking on this booking at such short notice when another Sitter cancelled. She was a lovely calm lady, not phased at all by our lively children when she was feeling very tired! Our children really enjoyed their afternoon with Chris doing art, playing several games, and she was even happy to be taught some football skills by our son! Our children were sad to see her go. We would 100% recommend Chris, she was absolutely wonderful and we hope to have her again in the future."

"Andrea babysitted for our 4 month old in our hotel and she was amazing!

Highly recommend Andrea to anyone that needs a sitter, she seems incredibly experienced with babies."

"Tessa was brilliant! My son really liked her and said she so fun and played lots of games with him! He also said she sat outside his bedroom door (as I do when he first is drifting off) - which really put him at ease and he was able to fall asleep. Tessa was very punctual and called me beforehand in good time. Her warm and kind disposition put me at ease immediately and my son also felt comfortable with Tessa as soon as he met her. Thank you for doing an amazing job! I would definitely book Tessa again and highly recommend."

"Beth was very punctual. Although their first time being with a sitter at our house, kids (aged 3.5 and 5.5) felt very comfortable with her within the first 10 minutes. Beth kept them occupied for 6 hours, with following their lead on what they wanted to play with. When my youngest woke up from her nap, Beth was gone already, and she was asking me when Beth will be back to play with her again."

She also kept her entertained throughout, and was very caring on a day when our child was sick with a stomach bug. We look forward to having Chantel over again."

"Dulcie was absolutely fantastic with my 6 month old. She looked after him for 6 hours during the day and kept him happy and entertained the entire time. He is a dreadful napper, but Dulcie managed to get him down for a nap twice which is quite a feat!"

"Alena was great: early and responsive communication, on time, professional and well liked by my daughters. When we arrived home, one daughter was fast asleep (which was earlier than we manage) and the other daughter described Alena making her lots of marmalade toast. Plus she'd done the washing up and cleaned up perfectly from snacks. Thank you Alena!"

"Melanie looked after our daughters in our holiday cottage in Ilfracombe while we went for a walk one afternoon. She was great: punctual, good communication, capable and kind. The girls said they liked her and would want her to look after them again, the ultimate praise! My eldest made me laugh, saying Melanie was enthusiastic about playing card games but misinterpreting the rules in her favour. Melanie D, sitter extraordinaire and card shark! Thank you Melanie for looking after my girls so well."

"Wonderful sitter, came to our home on just an hour notice and has been incredibly warm and creative with our 4 year old. I would definitely recommend!"

"Pamela took care of our 2-year old during an afternoon and evening while we attended a wedding. She was communicative, punctual and very friendly. She took great care of Rowan. Would recommend her services!"

"Sam literally changed my life. My child is 4 years old and as a widowed parent I have been the sole carer to my child full-time in the last for years. No one had ever put my child to bed, but Sam now has, and it has completely allowed me to enter a different phase in my life with my little one. Sam arrived on time, her communication throughout the entire process was so easy and straight forward. She was simply BRILLIANT, and words are not enough to explain my gratitude to her. If you have never left your child with a babysitter before and you happen to have Sam booked to do it for you for the first time, you are very lucky - you will be able to fully enjoy your day/evening knowing that your children are safe in the hands of a professional, competent and very kind lady. Thank you, Sam!"

"Lilian looked after my 4 months old twice now and she's fantastic.

He had the biggest smile when I came back home from my appointment !We loved working with her."

"We loved Martha! Our five year old is a tough customer but he adored her immediately. Martha is lovely, personable, and responsible we'd love to have her sit for us again!"

"Margaret was lovely with our 3 boys (3, 5 & 7). We had just arrived in London after a 24 hour flight and we were all exhausted. Margaret took the boys off our hands, kept them busy and even bought them some icy poles (as requested). They are very keen to have her back!"

"We were nervous about leaving our 17 month old daughter with a sitter for the first time, but Pamela made us feel so comfortable and made us feel completely at ease.

We would love to book Pamela again. She is friendly and her experience is evident."

"I am beyond impressed with Jackie's exceptional babysitting skills! Jackie arrived promptly. Not only is she reliable, but Jackie is also warm and lovely, creating a positive and nurturing environment for my kids.

My kids had a wonderful time with Jackie, and I highly recommend her to any parent seeking a caring and fun babysitter. Thank you again xxx."

"Leonie was excellent turned up before time, made good contact and kept me up to date as she was looking after the kids, the kids had a great time and have already asked when Leonie is coming back again which is the best sign, thanks for a first time baby sitter user for leaving the best impression and greatest in confidence feeling the kids were ok."

"Very organised and trusworthy sitter with great experience. She was the first i met from this site and was quite nervous to leave little one with a stranger, but i could tell since the begining thats shes great with children. Even my husband said she is really great and hes very picky. Highly recommend her to anyone."

"Claudia was absolutely brilliant. She arrived on time and our one year old daughter loved her - playing together immediately and even wanting a bedtime cuddle. We had been anxious as it was our first time but Claudia made us feel instantly at ease and we were happy to leave knowing our daughter was in safe hands. We would definitely recommend Claudia and will book again. Thank you!"

"Jess provided us with very last min babysitting for our 21-month-old son (who was already asleep) and 4 year old daughter. I've never used Sitters before but she really put my mind at ease, and I was confident the children were in very safe hands. Jess was absolutely lovely, and a natural with our daughter who asked this morning "When is Jess coming back?" Thank you so much."

"Clare is a wonderful sitter, she came round to our house to sit for our 2 year old son one evening. She engaged with him straight away and was very helpful during bath and pyjama time. She had brought some books round to read to him as well which he really enjoyed. She also messaged us to let us know when he'd fallen asleep which was reassuring. We would most definitely recommend Clare and request for her to sit for us again! Thank you Clare!"

"Gina did an amazing job taking care of our kids during our visit in London. We are from California and were not sure how our kids would feel about a nanny in a different country but Gina immediately wiped out our concern. She was punctual, responsible, and professional. It's clear she has a lot of experience. She is a kind, sweet and caring person in nature and we definitely would love to ask her to take care of our kids again!"

"Tracey was so brilliant with our little ones, and they both loved her. We left them with her when we went out for dinner and she successfully managed to get both our 3 year old and our 20 month old to sleep. They loved playing with her and she was communicative throughout. Would definitely recommend!"

"Mimoza has been absolutely fantastic. We have been blessed to have her with us and my son loves playing her. She is very helpful and punctual and we hope ton use her any future time we are in the United Kingdom."

"It was our first time leaving our baby with a babysitter so I required a bit of reassurance and a bit of a chat before I left the house. Christine was so lovely and did his favourite activities with him as well as updating us regularly on how he was doing. Thank you so much for looking after our boy. Amy and Darren."

"Lovely, genuine woman made me feel at ease as soon she turned up as this was my first time I was a bit worried, but I must say there was no reason for me to be as she was very good with my nine-year-old and my three-year-old listen to what needed to be done and how I do things, always reassuring I would recommend definitely."

"Sally was just brilliant with our girls! She played with them all afternoon and they had such a fun time doing colouring, playing pool and swimming in the hot tub. They absolutely loved their afternoon with Sally and we felt very relaxed leaving them with her, even though we didn't know her. We couldn't recommend her highly enough. Thank you, Sally!"

"Joanne was our first ever external babysitter for our daughter, and she was great. She came a little early to meet our daughter before she went to bed, and we were able to have a good chat which put our minds at ease. Our daughter did wake whilst we were out, but Joanne was able to settle her. Joanne was lovely, communicative and as an added bonus, our dog loved her. We'd be very happy to book Joanne again."

"Chris is a great sitter, she arrived on time and immediately adapted to the results of a family's restless night! She managed the daily routine, organised meals at the appropriate time, engaged with our little girl who had lots of fun and crafts and reading and play. Will definitely give her a call when next we need a sitter."

"Louisa is such a lovely lady. My children loved her as soon as she arrived. Louisa was completely engaged with them. My two can be cheeky with their bedtime requests which Louisa managed perfectly, putting them both to bed & all was quiet and calm when we got home."

"Goksen was wonderful! It was our first time using sitters for our three month so I was a bit nervous. My mind went quickly to ease, when Goksen was able to sooth our baby. This was no easy task as our baby had just received the second round of jabs. Goksen is caring, kind, and we would love to have her back again!"

"Kristine was lovely. My children were instantly chatting away to her, and then got so absorbed in a game of Uno Extreme that they hardly looked up as we went out. They all gave rave reviews and have said they would like to have her back in the future!"

"Yasmin sat for my 11 and 6 year old daughters at short notice. As it was her first time meeting them she came early and armed with craft materials. They both absolutely loved Yasmin, and the next morning they couldn't wait to tell us what a great time they'd had!"

"Selda was so wonderful with my little boy, who was full of smiles and giggles around her.

I could not recommend Selda more!"

"We had such a great experience with Carol ...she was absolutely fantastic with the children. They played some boardgames which Carol had very thoughtfully brought along, as we were staying in a hotel.

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Carol and we will definitely request her if we are back there again. A big thumbs up from our children! Many thanks."

"Yvonne came and looked after my 3 year old and then my 5 year old for 4 hours in the afternoon when my nanny was off. She arrived and started playing games with him straight away and he was totally at ease and happy to play. She was so natural and fun it was very reassuring. She then took them to the park and they came back really happy. Yvonne gave me updates on how well they played and how she taught them how to swing/helped on the climbing frame. Felt really happy that they all had a great afternoon. Would recommend and book again. Thank you Yvonne."

"Marcus was fantastic, so easy to talk to and our three girls felt comfortable with him straight away. My youngest says she's never laughed so hard in all her life. He's great."

"Caroline was wonderful with our 13-month-old son! He was comfortable with her really quickly and I've never heard him laugh so much with a sitter. She really knew how to engage with him on multiple levels - a truly professional toddler-whisperer! We hope there will be a chance for her to sit again."

"From the offset, Olivia was an amazing "Sitter"! She accepted our booking at short notice and she communicated with us beforehand to ensure everything went as smoothly as possible. She arrived promptly and we all immediately felt confident and happy leaving our 5 year old in her safekeeping whilst out for a family celebration. Super friendly and approachable, would thoroughly recommend! Thank you Olivia."

"Arta is amazing to have around, she is incredibly sweet and goes above and beyond your expectations. Being a first time mum, Arta has been Godsend. I would highly recommend Arta due to her professionalism, attentiveness and caring nature. Arta was the first sitter I was connected with and I haven't looked anywhere else since. Truly a wonderful individual to look after your child."

"My 3 month old was crying when Tirhas arrived and, unflustered, Tirhas soothed her rapidly. Tirhas' calmness and confidence during the incident immediately put me at ease about leaving my baby with her for the evening. My daughter was sound asleep on my return :)."

"Faiza was great from the moment she walked into our home. Our 5 year old little girl felt overwhelmed and quite shy at 1st, Faiza didn't take long to put her at complete ease in no time. This gave the family the reassurance we needed. I came back home to meet a very relaxed happy child, Faiza was amazing and just fit right in. Thanks again Faiza and hope to see you again soon :-)."

"Thank you Imaarl, Our 10 & 11 year olds were apprehensive as we haven't had a sitter for ages, and you were brilliant. Both kids rated your board game ability and 'niceness'. Thank you for looking after them, checking without harassing them for bed and being good fun. You made our first night out in ages a lot less stressful. Much appreciated."

"Absolutely fabulous babysitter. Recommend with no hesitation. Tanya bonded with our daughter (6 1/2) within 30 seconds of coming through the front door. Kept her entertained, and put her to bed while we attended a birthday party. Tanya kindly kept us updated throughout. She's fab!"

"I asked the kids what they thought about Hewi, and they shouted "WE LOVE HEWI" and "HEWI'S GREAT" really loudly. That's the most you can ask for when you're looking for someone to look after your kids. Thanks, Hewi x."

"Chris has been taking care of our son for quite a few years now and I can confidently say, she is the only person I feel comfortable leaving him with, outside of family. She engages with him, spends quality time and now genuinely feels like part of the family. We are extremely grateful to have her support - our son looks forward to her "visits" because it's fun, it's stimulating, it's caring. I would not hesitate to recommend Chris - she loves and enjoys her job, which is very evident each time she takes care of our son."

"Carol was absolutely fantastic, she built a lovely rapport with my 13 month son straight away and was so lovely playing with him and keeping him engaged. She kept him entertained whilst I worked. She sat with him whilst he ate and actually got him to eat a lot more than he normally would. Would happily book Carol again."

"Terri is a gem! She sat for us over a period of consecutive Mondays and she has such a calm energy, the kids loved playing board games with her each evening and were very relaxed and happy each Monday knowing she was coming. It made our weekly commitment much easier knowing Terri was coming to help us out. We would book Terri again in a heartbeat."

"Lisa is a consummate pro. She arrives ahead of time and full of energy. She has proved a natural with our little 1 year old girl who has regularly enjoyed time with her over repeated sessions."

"Denise got on so well with our girls instantly. She brought a bag of toys which the girls loved playing with. This was the first time we have been able to walk out the door without any tears. Thank you we would not hesitate to recommend Denise."

"Charlene was an absolute joy to have in our home. My one-year-old adored her and she provided so much care and fun for the afternoon she was with us. She and my daughter read books, laughed and played, and I was so thrilled to see how much my daughter took to her. Thank you so much, Charlene, and we hope we can see you again soon!"

"Gayle is absolutely amazing. My children absolutely adore her. Gayle played games and did arts & crafts with the children. Would absolutely recommend her!"

"Aba was at our home this week and she was amazing. She arrived promptly and engaged the kids constructively the entire day. Aba took great care of the kids. and my 3 year old got fond of her during this visit. Thank you so much Aba for bringing your calm to the mix, i am inspired by it."

"Vicky looked after our 2 children for the first time and the kids were comfortable with her straight away. She brought a bag of toys with her and spent time playing board games and reading with them. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter and would be very happy to have her look after my children again."

"Michelle was wonderful with our boys. As it was the first time we'd used the service, and anyone who wasn't family to babysit for us we were a bit nervous and my littlest wouldn't even peek at her. But even by the time we left she had him talking and reading with her. They were both asleep by the time we got home, which is amazing. They both want her to come again."
