Michael has looked after my children on numerous occasions and if anyone has reservations about hiring a male sitter, its time for a dramatic re-think! I would hire Michael over any female child carer I've ever used before. His level of professionalism (sadly lacking in so many others) truly has to be experienced. He's always polite and punctual and quick to respond to messages but his real charm is his interaction with the children. The children have so much fun with him, they're stood by the door waiting for him to arrive! He dedicates every bit of his boundless energy into entertaining them, playing games, making them laugh.
For a young guy, he has beautiful old school values and manners. No sitting in front of the television with the kids. He'll have them outside in the garden in the fresh air or playing fun games in the lounge.
Another bonus, when I got home once, he'd unloaded the dishwasher and put it all away! Amazing.
Truly the best child minder I've ever hired (and I've hired a lot).
