Amanda looked after our two boys, aged 12 months and 3 years old. We always felt very comfortable with leaving the boys with her, she kept us updated on what they were doing and stuck to their daily routine. Amanda took the boys to the park, to playgroups and to other activities so the boys were never bored.
She was very flexible and always did her best to fit us in, even at short notice. Our boys absolutely love her and look forward to seeing her every time.

Amanda has been babysitting and occasionally minding our son for the past 18 months now, he is 27 months old. We could not recommend Amanda more. She is a thoroughly lovely and trustworthy person who we now call a friend as well as a babysitter for our son. He loves Amanda too and particularly likes his trips out to the park and groups with her. If you need a babysitter or child minder then Amanda is perfect for you.

I called Amanda for occasional late evening babysitting and for a full time morning to evening babysitting. She is very professional and pays attention to the details, she respects my child's routine and she keeps me constantly updated. My child was immediately at ease with her since the first introductory meeting. Highly recommended!

With no family in the local area, we were keen to find a caring and gentle sitter to look after our 11 month old. Amanda arranged an introductory meeting to which she brought along the relevant certificates and met our boy who was at ease with her immediately!
Our little boy wakes a lot and generally needs me to get back to sleep - he has a lovely time reading and cuddling if we are out past 11 or so with Amanda which works well. I know he is happy and safe til i get back.
Amanda is also really responsive and friendly re setting up care sessions. Many thanks and would recommend!

We have used Amanda for ad hoc evening babysitting on a number of occasions. She is reliable, friendly and most importantly my daughter loves her babysitting! If family are unable to help us with babysitting, Amanda is the first person we contact. I enjoy my night out knowing that my daughter is well looked after
