Tricia responded to my message right away as I desperate for a babysitter that night. She communicated well and showed up on time and most importantly, my kids (ages 8 and 10) had fun with her!

Tricia helped us out at short notice to look after my baby daughter and two nieces whilst the family were in town for a party. She was quick to respond, friendly and punctual. She's clearly very well qualified and capable, and both my sister in law and I felt very happy leaving her in charge of the girls. We'd definitely recommend Tricia to others looking for a trusted babysitter in Edinburgh.

Thanks Alex! It was a pleasure babysitting for you. The girls were no bother at all! Hope to see you again soon!
We asked Tricia to look after our children when visiting family in Edinburgh. Her communication beforehand was responsive, helpful, and clear. She was on time, met the kids and dived in to reading them stories and gave me confidence straight away. Her manner was friendly and confident. I wish she lived near us! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and look forward to asking her to help us out again. The kids took to her straight away and reported that she was great! Brilliant experience for us.

Thanks Louise! It was lovely to meet you all, I look forward to seeing you next time you're up in Edinburgh.
Tricia stepped in to babysitter for me at very short notice and was nothing short of brilliant. She was a natural with my son, polite and more than capable of adjusting to a last minute situation.
I wouldn't hesitate to use Tricia in the future. She's a firm favourite with us after only one meeting. That says it all ?

Tricia recently looked after my eight year old son who has autism. She did a great job, she is friendly, polite, good at time keeping. She was knowledgeable about autism and autism specific services. I would definitely ask her to look after my son again next time I'm in Edinburgh.
