We booked Kate to look after two three year olds and a one year old for the evening as we were at a wedding. She replied quickly to all our messages and turned up on time to the right place. The kids were very happy for her to look after them and we felt they were in good hands. I would recommend Kate to others.

Kate has been looking after our 19 month old daughter for over 6 months now and has been fantastic. Kate is very punctual and we can always relax knowing our daughter is in safe hands. Kate fully understands our daughters needs and routine so well, would highly recommend!

We have had Kate look after our boys twice now, once for an evening and the second over 24 hours for a birthday night away. She took the time to meet the kids in person, put theirs and our minds at rest and was consciousness to understand the boys' routine and any their particular needs and personality traits. Would highly recommend!

I contacted Kate regarding babysitting services for my 8 month old daughter.
Having never used a babysitter before I was nervous and unsure of the process regarding meeting and arranging settling in sessions.
Kate put me at ease straight away by explaining the process and sending me over all the relevant qualifications and checks she has.
When Kate arrived for our first session the moment I met her I felt completely at ease, my daughter took to Kate straight away.
Kate asked lots of questions regarding my daughters routine so she is able to stick to it as closely as possible when babysitting, I felt very comfortable with Kate being in my home and looking after my daughter. As this was the first time leaving my daughter with anyone outside of the family I thought I’d feel anxious but I felt totally comfortable knowing she was in safe hands.
Kate also sends through picture and text updates which is a lovely touch.
I look forward to working with Kate lots more in the future.

This is the first time I have ever left my 3 year old son so my anxiety was at an all time high. However, I met Kate for a coffee and instantly felt relaxed and safe in her presence, she ticked all the boxes that I was looking for, someone experienced, warm, confident, friendly etc. She was so accommodating with anything that I needed, including popping round to my house to spend an hour with my son to see how things went with him.
We booked Kate immediately after the first visit to our house and a week later we headed out for a meal leaving Kate in charge. I can honestly say I was so relaxed, she just has the most perfect vibe . She text me updates whenever I needed them and sent me photos of my son. She fed him dinner and put him to bed and sent me a photo of him sound asleep which is better than what the grandparents achieve 😂.
I trust her completely and will most definitely be booking again in the near future.
