I got in touch with Caroline as I needed a babysitter for my 2 year old son. He is quite shy and takes a long time to warm up with new faces. Caroline offered to come by my house a few days before the day I was going out to meet my son so he would be more comfortable on the day, I thought this was a great idea.

Caroline is so calm and friendly, she doesn't throw herself onto children which a lot of people do. This can be quite intimidating for children and she seems to have just the right touch! I was so impressed with how quickly my son went to her which left me very reassured when the day came for babysitting.

Caroline was on time and brought a bag with books and toys which was great as new toys are always a great distraction! She sent me a message when I was out to let me know things were ok and he was happy.

When I returned home my son didn't flinch, he was reading books and looking lovingly into Carolines eyes!! (Normally he'd run to me crying if leave him!!) I was amazed at how relaxed he was and it looked like they had lots of fun.

I was nervous about the thought of a stranger babysitting, but Carolines approach was great and I'd highly recommend her to anyone!
