Amy's a breath of fresh air when it comes to babysitting. After being let down by a few people who didn't turn up when they said they would or failed to reply to messages, I was losing hope of finding someone I could work with. But since day 1, Amy has been a brilliant communicator, very reliable and punctual and I've trusted her from the get-go. She's excellent with my severely autistic, non verbal seven-year-old and is able to give him the personal care he needs, lying in bed with him while he falls asleep, for example. And at the same time, she finds time to have fun and play with my neurotypical four-year-old, who looks forward to her visits. I'd highly recommend Amy to anyone. We're very glad to have found her.

Amy turned up full of energy to help me with my children. She first came as a mothers help when my first was born roughly for 4 months and then stayed with us on an ad hoc basis until the second was born where she helped with breastfeeding support and supporting the transition to two children. Amy helped with lighthousekeeping and supported the general running of our house when needed. Maria
