I was worried about finding someone to care for my 22-month-old daughter while my childminder was on holiday. I was incredibly lucky to find Caroline. She was always so helpful and accommodating with my schedule, and was great at communicating at all times. Above all, my daughter absolutely loved her and her gem of a daughter. She was immediately drawn to both of them, no tears, not even any pouting or whining. At pick up it was always clear she’d had a good day with a balance of activity and rest. Caroline’s daughter was truly helpful in teaching my baby new things and keeping her safe. I could tell they were both looking out for her, so it was like having a bonus helper to an already excellent caregiver. Even now, my daughter regularly asks for them and surely looks forward to playing with her new friend again soon.

Thank u Emily
Great experience with Caroline. I booked her when I was on a weekend in London so if was the first time I’d used a babysitter in the area. Caroline was super accommodating, punctual, had great communication and was a very naturally maternal person which the kids loved. Caroline’s daughter was super lovely and great to have there as my kids who love playing with other children. She sent me lots of videos of them all playing and constant updates. She barely needed to give them any screen time because they were all having such a lovely time running and jumping about the place! Will definitely be booking again next time we are in London.

Thank u
It was the first time with a nanny for my 1.5yo, Caroline was great with him. They spent a full day together, she played with him and took him out for a walk. He really enjoyed his time.
Caroline was communicative, she was on time and she was very organised. We'll call her again when we need a babysitter.

Caroline came to baby sit my two very clingy kids for the day . They immediately warmed up to her and her lovely daughter . Caroline communicated with me through out the day and made me feel at ease especially as it was my first proper day without both of my kids . Caroline is also very kind and friendly and my kids absolutely love her . I will definitely be asking her to babysit again , she did an excellent job .

Thank u
Caroline and her daughter are very nice. My 4yo boy said he was happy after the time they spent together. Caroline has been very flexible as at the last minute I have asked her to look after an other child whilst she was looking after my son. She managed to collect them both form school and has been honest when she felt that taking them all to the park would have might be too much for the first time they met. So she took them all home and they played together. Thanks Caroline!
