Hollie's Reviews

Babysitter for wedding in Bristol

I hired Hollie to look after my 8 month old baby for a 2 day wedding weekend. On first day, I asked Hollie to meet us at hotel and put my baby to bed whilst we were at the rehearsal dinner. My baby liked her immediately and I had no concerns to leave them alone in hotel room. Hollie also kept me updated via text messages and even sent me a picture half way through the evening. I had a really good feeling about Hollie so on the actual wedding day, I decided to let her take my baby to hotel for her bed time. Again no concerns and Hollie sent me regular updates and even offered to FaceTime. They had a great time together and Hollie also offered to bath her and left me with a clean, sleeping and happy baby.

I hadn't realised until the next day but Hollie even left a hand puppet for my baby.

I strongly recommend Hollie and wouldn't hesitate to use her again. I wished she lived near us in London!

Caring and Compassionate, Reliable, and Trustworth

Hollie was a brilliant, childminder, carer and part time nanny to all 3 of my boys. She had an outstanding ability to connect and communicate with each of my children and be sensitive to their needs and mine!

Hollie seemed to know instinctively how to handle my eldest child on the autism spectrum, she was able to communicate in Brisith Sign Language with my Deaf child and she was the first person to care for my baby besides me. Hollie made sure I always knew what they were doing, where they were, regularly sent me through photos of what they were up to and how much fun they were having, and would check everything out with me first. Her professionalism was outstanding.

They say kids learn through play and they most certainly did with Hollie. She has a natural zest for working with children and was always full of ideas and energy about what fun they could get up to. My only regret is moving so far away from her and her beautiful daughter.

Very trusted and caring childcare provider

We found Hollie through this site and have had a wonderful experience with her childcare.

We use Hollie on an adhoc basis to care mainly care for our 2 year old son but also to care for our 9 year old after school hours.

We have found Hollie to be incredibly reliable and she has a very warming, bubbly personality for which both my sons are very fond of. Hollie is very pro-active when the children are in her care, and always finds fun and engaging activities and trips for the children to do. Hollie drives her own car and has provided a car seat for our 2 year old which has made things very easy for us.

Because we have been so impressed with Hollie, we now also use her for adhoc overnight care. This has included Hollie staying at ours and our 2 year old son staying at Hollie's house. Our son has loved these stays as he really gets on with Hollies daughter.

Whilst the children are in Hollies care, we are regularly kept updated and reassured through photos, FaceTime and text messages.

We have absolutely no reservations in recommending Hollie as a childcare provider. We have found Hollie to be incredibly engaging, attentive, caring, reliable and responsible and we would be pushed to find another Hollie!

A gentle, responsive carer

Hollie looked after our daughter for a period where we needed some extra help. She was considerate and flexible around our needs, and gave lots our child lots of positive, fun attention. There was always something new and exciting to be done, whether that was learning and playing in the house or going out for the day. I'd not hesitate to recommend her to others, and she'll be the first person we call if we need help again in the future.

Great, attentive and caring

We used Hollie as recommended by a friend. We were looking for someone who would look after our daughter in our home while i was unwell. We wanted someone who would look after our daughter like we would and we were not dissapointed. We found her to be warm, genuine, caring and very attentive to our two year old daughter. She was happy to do all sorts of activities, she took her to the Zoo and park, painted, read, played and even taught her some sign language. Our daughter loved her and still talks of the things they did together. We would highly recommend her and if she's available will use her again in the future if needed.
