We were looking for someone to hotel sit for our 13 month old whilst we were at our friend's wedding. We came across Sam's profile on childcare, who seemed perfect for the job. We discussed our requirements via message before setting up a video call so she could meet our daughter. Sam's communication was really great, responding promptly and clarifying any queries we had. She was really friendly and chatty with our daughter, which gave us a lot of reassurance (as we haven't used a babysitter other than family before). On the day, Sam came well prepared with some toys. She seemed very natural with our daughter, engaging her and making her laugh, so we felt comfortable letting her settle her for bed. Sam did such a great job, our daughter's not the easiest to get to sleep, but Sam settled her and she slept all the way through. We were able to leave her and join the wedding party outside, reassured that she was in safe hands. She also gave us a lovely update once our daughter was asleep, which was really appreciated. Overall Sam is a really warm and friendly person, and put us at ease straight away. I would definitely recommend her services, and would call her up if we were ever in need of a babysitter up that way again. Thank you Sam!
