Laura looked after my daughter whilst we were at a wedding and upon meeting her she immediately put my mind at ease and I wasn’t concerned leaving my little girl at all. Laura provided lots of updates throughout the day and it was clear that my daughter was having the best time. I’d recommend Laura to everyone and theres no one else or better I’d choose to babysit in future.

Laura was fantastic. We we’re traveling to a different area and knew no-one who could babysit for us whilst we attended a wedding. I was nervous but Laura put my mind completely at ease from the moment i spoke to her. We face timed prior to the job and again she put me at ease. Although she was new to my two young children she bonded with them straight away and they enjoyed playing with her. I was comfortable to leave them in her care. She was very accommodating for us. I highly recommend Laura and would book her again. Thank you Laura x

Thank you for such a positive review Kerry, was lovely to meet you all x
We were abit apprehensive about getting a babysitter we didn’t know for our 4 year old boy, having had a couple of no shows, even more so.
However we came across Laura on here and from the first contact her communication was great, we asked for a visit before hand and it was like we’d known her for years.
We have already arranged another night both us and our boy are really happy. She really knows how to put you at ease and was great with the boy.

My partner and I were seeking a babysitter to assist us with the care of our 18 month old little girl for our wedding day. We came across Laura on the website and saw that she was local to us. We were a little apprehensive about leaving our daughter with an unfamiliar person, but after meeting Laura we immediately felt at ease. We booked Laura for a number of sessions prior to the wedding day to see how our daughter responded to her care. Laura was amazing and our daughter loved playing games with her and Laura was very attentive to her needs.
On our wedding day Laura came to look after our daughter into the night so that we could enjoy the celebrations together, knowing that our daughter was in safe hands with Laura.
Her communication and reliability was great.
We cannot recommend Laura enough and would use her again in a heartbeat. One of the best decisions in our wedding day planning.
Thankyou Laura

Laura looked after our son in our hotel room whilst we went to a family function. Laura’s communication before the event was great, via message, text and FaceTime, and she was punctual on the night. She brought all her certificates (she has a lot!) with her as I had requested and she was really lovely to speak to. Our son was asleep whilst Laura was sitting but I wouldn’t hesitate to book Laura again.

i booked laura last minute on thursday and what an amazing experience. im so uncomfortable leaving my children whilst i go to work with people i dont know but i was at my last resort and she made me feel at ease wanting to know all about the chldren and how they eat etc. When i returned after a 12 hour shift my boys where too excited to fill me in on their experience with her and i was satisfied that id found the perfect babysitter. this will definately be a regular use

This booking was not confirmed, I would never arrange to babysit and let anyone down. I think reading the rest of the reviews on here shows this.
Thanks
Laura was excellent with my 3 boys aged 5, 3 and 1. She babysat the boys for 1 week whilst we were at the British Open Golf. We were visiting from Australia so the boys had not an opportunity to meet her prior but they quickly warmed to her. Laura was easily able to manage taking the 3 children out for outings, feeding them, bathing them and at the same time keeping the apartment tidy. She knew we were travelling so she even brought toys and craft activities to do with the children. Laura was a delightful person and I just wish she lived in Australia! I can not recommend her highly enough as a babysitter or for nanny/day minding services.
