Dee is our "unicorn nanny": we have been so lucky to have had almost three years of her time and are heartbroken without her. She has shaped our three children's worlds - with her completely expert proxy-parent skills, and the loving, warm, energetic, full of fun environment she creates. Dee is a complete professional - she astounds me with her recall about baby routines and parenting psychology, as well as having great instincts and common sense. We trust Dee implicitly and our kids (5, 3 and 1) adore her. There is no space here to do justice to what a special caregiver Dee is - I am more than happy to discuss further directly.

Dee has taken my two girls aged 7 and 2 out several times as sole carer for the afternoon. I have found her to be very reliable, punctual and proactive. She is friendly, attentive and caring to the girls and they much enjoy being with her. I would thoroughly recommend Dee as a babysitter/nanny.

Dee is a natural with kids. My 15 month old wouldn't normally play with anyone he don't know but somehow Dee has managed to easily capture his trusts without any problems. She is professional at what she does and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for support with their children.

We have a 15mo old who has only been cared for by us or my mum so I was a bit anxious about him having a babysitter occasionally but then we met Dee and we knew we made the right choice! She is amazing with him, makes him laugh and he loves spending time with her. She is punctual, professional, clean and really cool! She is experienced with kids and comes up with all sorts of plays and distractions if my little one is upset seeing me go. She always keeps in touch if she takes him out and follows our plans regarding food etc, but also offers really valuable advice if asked for! I am really happy to have found Dee and I wish she had more availability! Would highly recommend her!

It is really anxiety enducing for a parent leaving your baby for the first time but Dee has been reassuringly professional in all contact we have had, and most importantly, our five month old baby seems very happy, relaxed and cared for when with her.

We are a professional couple who work in health (Doctor and Nurse), who needed a casual babysitter. We met Dee, and employed her casually over the weekends. She is extremely professional, fun, clean and has her own initiative. She listens and follows our guide, and makes sensible suggestions. She makes sure everything is clean before leaving, and once treated us to washing up some of our 'adult' dishes while the kids were asleep! She considers all areas of needs for the kids, and is super friendly with them. Great communicator, and gets back to you the same day via text. Very professional. The kids love her, so naturally, we do too. We just wish she was more available!!! #toopopular

Dee was wonderful - agreeing to babysit the same evening, she kept in touch throughout the day and arrived on time ready to play with our two children and then get them settled and into bed on time. Dee is obviously an experienced child carer and instantly put our two little ones at ease. We're glad to have found her and will definitely be putting future babysitting requests her way!

Dee looked after our little one one evening. It was the 1st time we had left him and she was great. Made us feel confident we were leaving him in safe hands. She didn't mind me texting her and was also giving us some updates.

We used Dee for the first time the other night and were impressed by her professionalism. She was great with our toddler and put our minds at ease for a much needed night out. She even washed the dishes! We'll be using her again.

Dee looked after our 2 boys when we were out on a Saturday night. She was fantastic with the boys. Her calm, professional and friendly disposition made us very comfortable with leaving her with our boys (age 3 and 4)and they had a great time. We will definitely use Dee's service again and highly recommend her.

Dee looked after our two year old daughter on a Saturday evening while we went out for dinner and to the theatre. Dee is friendly and professional and we were very much at ease when we left our daughter in her care for the evening. Everything went very smoothly and the next day our daughter was very happy with everything, exclaiming "Dee: Funny!". Highly recommended.

Dee babysat for me on pretty short notice. She responded very quickly to my messages and arrived on time. She came an hour earlier than when I was due to leave and played with my kids, she was warm and friendly and they quickly took to her. She happily waved me out the door and got both children to bed. She was also great with our dog. All round she was fabulous and would definitely recommend her. We will be calling her again!

Dee babysat for us and I could not recommend her more. She is punctual and reliable and the kids took to her immediately. Even my very clingy 1 year old smiled and waved us out the door as we left. Thank you so much.

Dee occasionally babysits my son and a daughter (4.5 and 2years old) and I am very happy with her. She is reliable, honest, hardworking, allways on time and the kids love her. We plan to continue using her services when she is available.
