Kathryn

Fantastic babysitter

Kathryn was the first babysitter we ever had for our four year old son. She has been extremely kind, patient and professional, all the way from initial communication to the babysitting session. She was quick to confirm availability and took the time to meet our family and son prior to the babysitting evening; understanding his routine, his needs and preferences. This was extremely important and established trust and connection with our son/family. During the evening we received regular updates from Kathryn about our son's activities, sleep, which was extremely nice. Overall, working with Kaythrn was one of the nicest childcare experiences we have had - our son was very happy and told us how much he enjoyed his evening with her. I would recommend Kathryn to families looking for attentive and first-class babysitting in the local area without hesitation. We will certainly rely on her again in the future.

Great babysitter

We have had some help with childcare from Kathryn a few times and she is reliable, friendly and very helpful. My daughter loves playing with her and looks forward to seeing her.
She was happy to come over and meet the children briefly before she started helping us out with childcare. This was important to us. Would definitely recommend Kathryn to families with young children looking for help with childcare.

Caring, responsible, first class care provider

We used Kathryn for babysitting for the first time last month and everything about the experience was fab. Her communication beforehand was thorough and excellent and from the moment she walked through the door she put me at ease, asking all the right questions and clearly listening and also building a great rapport with my daughter straight away.

It can be nerve wracking using a babysitter that you don’t know but I wouldn’t hesitate to use Kathryn again, she sent a couple of messages while I was out so I knew everything was ok and the most important thing… my daughter absolutely loved her, in fact, she’s asking when I’m going out again!

Wonderful babysitter

Kathryn looked after our boys 1 & 3 for the first time today and we're all looking forward to having her over again. They both felt immediately comfortable with her, even my younger boy who's known to struggle with new people. Not so with Kathryn. She was so calm, kind and professional. The boys were so engaged with her and had a lovely time. She is great fun and clearly very experienced with little ones and I'd definitely recommend her.

Superb!

Kathryn looked after our 3 boys; age 5,9 and 11. The 5yr old had communication delays. This didn’t phase Kathryn at all, she clearly has experience here and she proactively took steps to give him more time for transitions and tasks. He doesn’t tend to like new people but he was a big fan of Kathryn! Kathryn’s communication and professionalism were excellent. She quickly built a rapport with the children and we had a restful evening knowing the boys were safe and happy.

Very professional and friendly

Kathryn was really committed to making sure our children felt comfortable with her. She was really professional, meeting us prior to booking to show us references/dbs etc and be able to ask her questions. My children loved having Kathryn to babysit and can’t wait for her to come again!!

Reliable and experienced babysitter

Kathryn looked after our 5 year old son and 8 month old baby. This was the first time we have used a babysitter for our children and We were slightly anxious ahead of the sit. When Kathryn arrived she immediately put my mind at ease with her bubbly and pleasant personality. She brought hard copies of her ID and all her qualifications and DBS certificate. She engaged my son as soon as she arrived and he was completely at ease with her and they started doing activities right from the get go. She asked all the right questions and it was clear that she has a wealth of experience in looking after children. Any anxiety We had about leaving our children for the first time disappeared well before We left. She sent us updates throughout the evening as well. My son has asked for her to look after him again and we have already rebooked her. I would highly recommend Kathryn!

Kathryn is amazing with children

Kathryn has looked after my daughter a few times and my daughter was extremely comfortable with her from the first time they met.
She put the effort into organising programmes and all sort of activities to entertain her and make her happy.
My daughter had the best days with her. She is really experienced and her knowledge and patience is outstanding.
I would highly recommend her.

I highly recommend Kathryn!

Our children (5 and 7 years old) enjoy evenings when Kathryn babysits for us. She is caring and kind. She is flexible and tries to accommodate us when she can. Communication is straightforward. She is a great carer!

Kind, fun and reliable, Kathryn is amazing!

Kathryn stayed with our 4 and 6 year old kids and she was brilliant with them. They loved staying with her, and they had lots of fun with her. She send lots of pictures and videos to keep us updated, and she has really good ideas to keep entertained and with snacks. Even when she spent a whole day with them, they were sad to say bye to her.
