My Experience

I have a wide range of experience when it comes to looking after/babysitting children. I have looked after children as young as 11 weeks, up to the age of 10 years old! I have babysat and still regularly do babysit children of various ages; which I think is vital when it comes to experience. I also have experiencing working in a nursery which I thoroughly enjoyed.
As well as this I have worked in a therapeutic children’s home, acting as a ‘professional parent’ to children who present challenging behaviours.
I also have 7 nieces and nephews who I regularly look after and have done since they were young. The youngest is currently 1 and the eldest is now 14.

We've used Summer a few times now to look after our 4 year old and 22 month old boys. She's great fun, the kids adore her and she's reliable. Would fully recommend :o)

On meeting Summer she seemed lovely. We went to arrange a trial. Unfortunately due to Summer not being available and trying to change the times due to her being 'busy' it took us a MONTH to organise a 3 hour trial! When it finally came to the day she messaged me saying she'd done something the night before and she was tired and could we change to another day. After changing the time 5 times already to suit Summer I had had enough, so I explained to her that unfortunately it wouldn't work out with our family. This was where I got really annoyed because instead of just accepting she actually started blaming it on myself and my kids being ill etc. She just wouldn't let it go and she got ruder and ruder. Not someone I would particularly want around my children!

Summer is a natural with the kids. She babysits regularly for me and my two children. Holly who is 2 and ben who is 15 weeks old. She is very flexible and works on late notice also which is great for us! She's fantastic with children and so trustworthy. I won't be letting her go anytime soon!

Summer is a very reliable childminder and she's a natural with children ...I hadn't left my children with a babysitter before and she made me feel very comfortable that my children were in safe hands (daughter, 1 year - son 10 years)... Months have now past and she's never let us down.

***I would highly recommend.***

Summer is a very kind and sensible young lady. She has looked after my children many times and often comes round just to give me a break. I have 5month old and a three year old daughters. My three year old has grown up with Summer and adores her, the 5 month old is still young, but already thinks Summer is hilarious!
Summer loves children and is a bit of a big kid herself, loving to play and roll around on the floor with my three year old.
I have known Summer a number of years, due to her being my eldest daughters (18) friend, but feel she is now my youngest and middle daughters friend too. She is also very comfortable looking after my dogs!
Please do contact her if you are looking for a reliable, friendly and very competent babysitter.
