Excellent Babysitting, highly recommend

Shona has been very good with our 9 month old. She was comfortable to do the whole of the evening routine from playtime, to dinner, to bath time and then sleep.

Shona had taken the time to meet our baby and us prior to her initial visit. This helped our baby to get to know her better for the actual babysitting evening. She was engaging, playful, patient, very happy and confident in looking after our baby. She also kept us informed throughout the evening which certainly reassured us.

We are planning to have her back on a regular basis (if she’ll have us!) thank you Shona :)

Highly recommend Shona!

Shona looked after my 18month old boy for days in June while I was working. She was great with him and he really enjoyed his days with her. She kept me up to date throughout the day with photos and how he was doing and she really treated him so wonderfully. I felt completely safe and trusted her straight away and you can tell she just loves the children she watches. Definitely recommend her.

Thank you for your kind review Fiona, your little boy was such a joy to look after we had a fun time on our outings.
You have my number if you require my services again.

Very reliable and friendly

My baby girl loved spending time with Shona and I felt very confident leaving her for the work hours I needed covered. Shona was incredibly professional and went above and beyond to make the situation work very smoothly and comfortably for me and my daughter. Will definitely want to use Shona again.

Wonderful and caring!

Shona was very caring and lovely with our 2 children, a 4 year old and 1year old. This was the first time they spent the evening with a babysitter, so quite a novelty for them. But Shona felt like family and both of them loved her immediately. She was with us for a short period (5pm to midnight), but they enjoyed it so much that our 4 year told us all about in the morning 😊
Communication was great and very flexible to our schedule and needs!
We would highly reccommend Shona!

Hi Daria

It was a joy caring for the children, fun chasing each other around the house, we enjoyed songtime and stories. You have my details if I can help with care in the future.
Best wishes
Shona.

Overnight sitting for my teen

I booked Shona for the a recent 7pm to 9am overnight sitting for my 16 year old.
I was looking for a service where they could begin to practice their independence (i.e. cooking a simple meal) whilst under the watchful eye of someone.

Shona arrived precisely on time and spent the evening playing card and board games with my teen. My teen enjoyed the experience of having a nice, friendly and caring person around.

We paid £300 for 14 hours of attendance (this also included £20 travel costs)

Shona is a lovely lady and I'd thoroughly recommend her.
