Sarah looked after our 18 month old for 12 hours whilst we attended a wedding. We met her for the first time an hour before leaving and when she arrived she was polite, professional and clearly very experienced. She was brilliant getting to know our daughter and learning her likes and dislikes. She has a wonderfully caring manner with children and our daughter instantly warmed to her. Our daughter can be very difficult to get to sleep but Sarah seemed to manage this with ease. Her communication throughout the day was excellent and we received some very cute photos which helped to reassure us. Overall, we could not be happier with our experience using Sarah to babysit.

Sarah brought calm to the storm of me having to pack up our airbnb and pack the car up for our road trip holiday in France. She not only took care of the kids but she went above and beyond to help me with other things such as making sure some items and clothes got to a charity or people in need or someone who would want it.
With the children they immediately warmed to her and she was very calming and I feel confident that Sarah is trustworthy, honest and a strong safe keeper for young children.
She was always very respectful and would help me tidy up or organize even if I had not asked her if she could help me in those areas. She truly was such a help and if we were staying in the area I would hire her as much as possible.

My 9 month old and 5 year old absolutely loved Sarah. She is so caring professional and patient with the kids. She was so great about calming my 9 month old who gets very upset when I have to leave her. She communicated with me throughout the day as well to let me know how they were doing. I look forward to having Sarah back and highly recommend her!

I had a bit of a traumatic birth, and when my mother had to leave I needed help ASAP. Sarah was a life saver and was much better with my baby than I was. As a first time mother she taught me a lot of tricks that I still use. She has helped me over ten occasions now, and I feel blessed to have someone so trustworthy, and talented to occasionally help me out. I'm also very particular with who cares for my son, she's on par with my Mother.

Sarah has been a wonderful babysitter to my 3 children aged 5, 6 and 13. They are always very excited to see her. Sarah is incredibly reliable and conscientious and goes above and beyond the call of duty by doing those extra little things that mean so much. She was very good at coping with my younger daughter who ws quite apprehensive about mummy leaving at first. Sarah coped with this extremely well and my daughter settled very quickly. I know that I don't need to worry when Sarah is in charge. I highly recommend her to you.
