Tabitha

Inconsiderate

The first time Tabitha came to my place, everything went smoothly, the second time I tried to contact her she accused me of not being patient enough with her to reply to my messages, she told me to wait and then told me she couldn't do the babysitting, I was expecting that anyway. I decided to try the third time. I sent her a message on WhatsApp on Monday for baby sitting for me on Friday, I sent a 'hi' on Wednesday when I saw that the message hasn't been read. She read the message and till this minute, I didn't get a reply yet her profile say she responds within 24 hours and it's been 4 days. I just felt humiliated and embarrassed just because I wanted someone to babysit my son. A simple yes or no was all I needed but I got insulted on the last two occasions.

Response by Tabitha on 07/12/2024:

I can only apologise for the most recent occasion. I had intended to respond but was in a lot of pain. I’ve recently had surgery and currently in hospital. Looking to be discharged within the next few days. I should have responded sooner, so I apologise as my previous reviews show I am a lot better with communication than this. I do ask for some patience with my reply time, I always aim to respond within 24 hours on the occasion you described, you had sent me a message at 1 am in the morning and again before 9 am, which is why I had asked you to be patient with me. Good luck with the childcare app moving forward and I wish you all the best.

Highly recommend

First of all great communication, Tabitha was always kind and very responsive. She's very calm, my son cried when I left but she was confident and nice, you can tell she's experienced and knows what she's doing ! We're definitely gonna call her again!

Professional and Patient with kids

I contacted Tabitha last minutes when I needed a babysitter and likely she was available, my three year son was crying because he had never seen her. She was patient with him and she is such a professional. I highly recommend her.

Caring and kind

Tabitha has looked after my one year old son on 2 occasions. On both occasions she was very caring and gentle with him. She clearly likes children and was happy to play with him and sing songs. She is punctual trust worthy kind and came very highly recommend from the nursery where she works.

Loving and professional

Tabitha looked after my son for an evening. We were very comfortable leaving him with her as he was immediately happy to stay with her alone for the evening. She was also on time and professional.

I would recommend Tabitha as she comes across very loving which is exactly what our son needs.

Babysitting with Tabitha

Tabitha is brilliant.

She looked after our three children (one girl & two boys, 11, 9 & 7) recently. It was the first time they'd had a babysitter since we moved house. Tabitha arrived in good time & promptly made the children comfortable with her. She was friendly, chatty & spoke to each of them in a relaxed way that took any potential stress out of the situation.

The children were well behaved for her & went to bed without any problems. She kept us updated throughout the evening & we felt totally confident with her.

I can't recommend Tabitha highly enough.

Lovely, Reliable and Great with Kids

I would definitely recommend Tabitha. My son (22 months), was very content in her company and I was confident leaving him. It also helps when a babysitter genuinely likes children! Thank you Tabatha. Candice & Zeyn
