We hired Donna to look after our baby during our wedding. She looked after him in our room whilst we got to enjoy our wedding reception.
Instantly felt at ease with Donna and my baby was comfortable too.
Thank you Donna! You're a star!

Donna looked after our 2 boys (2yr and 7m) and we felt so relaxed leaving her in charge. Her wealth of experience is second to none and you just know she would get through any scenario/situation. She's professional and friendly. She travelled to us prior to our agreed date so we could meet, chat and show her round our home. Our 2 yr old was instantly smitten. Thrilled that we've found someone reliable and trustworthy .

Donna is fantastic!
Donna looked after our 7 months old while we visited from Australia in February. This was the first time we had ever used a baby sitter. Understandably I was nervous, however was quickly put at ease by Donna’s calm and caring manner. We were able to enjoy a rare evening out, knowing our baby will be well looked after!
I really appreciate a “get to know me” WhatsApp call suggests by Donna prior to our visit to UK.
I would highly recommend Donna to anyone looking for babysitter!
Thank you :)

Donna is excellent. She is caring, fun, enthusiastic, and efficient. Our boys instantly adored Donna and she can get them to eat, change, sleep, and get up again without any drama. She will also keep them occupied when with them. Whether it be baking, painting, days out or simple play, they are always tired and content after a shift with Super Donna. I genuinely cannot recommend her highly enough.

Donna looked after our 18 month old on our wedding day in August and my only regret is that I didn't ask her to babysit for the whole weekend rather than just a few hours.
From the first time we spoke on video chat (due to being in different countries), I knew she would be easy to deal with and would work in with our little ones needs in a calm and caring way. She kept in really great contact with us in the lead up to the wedding which I was really grateful for as had 1001 other things to think about so appreciated her keeping on top of our communication. She also helped out when one of my other sitters pulled out last minute, Donna was able to find me another qualified sitter to ease the burden.
On the day she took charge and kept me in the loop any time we crossed paths, but I never felt the need to check in or check up as could see she had everything under control. I had two other sitters and a bunch of kids at the wedding and really felt like I didn't have to worry about any of it as Donna was so professional and conscientious and kept an eye on everyone in addition to focusing on my little girl. I would recommend anyone with kids at an event/wedding to hire a babysitter and Donna would be my top pick any day of the week. She really made the day go that bit smoother. Thanks Donna :)

Donna looked after our 15 month old for our wedding in August, which was the first time we had ever used a babysitter. Whilst naturally a bit nervous, Donna calmed those nerves pretty quickly! Our boy took to her quickly and she followed our lead on how to do bedtime, naps, meals, everything, so that we felt calm and reassured that he was able to stick to his routine. She was very patient with us, such that it felt very natural and easy having her around on my wedding morning as we got glammed up- she was friendly, professional, and so sweet and fun with our little one. She was also really flexible and even helped out with our friend's little one who was also staying in the same house. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Donna to anyone and only wish she lived nearer us at home so we got use her more regularly!!

Donna
Donna came to work with me for a few days to look after my 7 week old boy. She was very easy to communicate with and make arrangements with beforehand and was extremely flexible and accomodating to all my requests.
I was pretty stressed about the work I had to do and how I would manage feeding and pumping milk, but Donna made everything easier. She has a calm and caring manner, while at the same time being cheery and friendly. I could tell from the first second she picked up the baby that she knew what she was doing, it was obvious that she had years of experience.
I can honestly say that Donna looked after both me and the baby, she went above and beyond in every way. I really wanted to bring her home with me by the end of the few days. Any of my colleagues who met her commented on how brilliant she was, she was friendly and chatty to everyone she met.
I can't recommend her highly enough and I will definitely be using her again if I can.

We have used Donna twice. The first time I was really impressed that she won my shy 4
Year old over in seconds of meeting him! The second time she visited the boys were excited to see her and didn’t look back as we went out of the door! She is a lovely lady who is kind and really good with children. We will definitely be using her again in the not so distant future!

Donna looked after our 9 month old ar our wedding in June this year. We had spoken on the phone and then met the day before the wedding. When meeting on Friday I felt confident our little girl would be fine. She hasn't been looked after by anyone other than family for a short time but I knew Donna knew what she was doing and I felt quite happy handing over on the Saturday. I had planned on going to baby for evening feed and bed but on checking up on them around 5pm they were both fine and I left them to it. This was the best thing I did, I relaxed completely and wasn't worried in the slightest. I can be a bit of a worrier and mum does it best but I knew for a day Donna would really look after her and she'd be fine.
I gave Donna a little list of the schedule and any special bits. She listened to me, didn't make me feel like I was being an annoying mum which I probably was! She just asked what she needed to know and got on with it.
Donna was really professional, great communication and very polite. Would highly recommend her.
