Amanda has babysat for my kids a few times and they warmed to her straight away! There was almost a year between nights when "Panda" as my 2 yr old calls her babysat for us and she very kindly came round the week before our night out to reintroduce herself to the kids and make sure they were at ease with her. On the night we flew out the door with kids waving bye not so much as a tear. I felt so comfortable leaving the kids with Amanda. She text when they had been settled in bed to let me know how they were getting on which also just really put my mind at rest. She is always on time, tidy, personable, friendly, great with kids, trustworthy and honest. Would absolutely recommend her 5 stars!!
