Samantha babysat for us during our stay in Chewton Glen and made it the most easy wonderful experience. She effortlessly looked after our 19 month old allowing us to spend time with the older children, the baby didn’t make strange with her as she normally does. Samantha is entirely compétant and at ease with baby’s and knows exactly how to entertain and mind them even in a hotel room! She also minded our older two children, who just adored her. Overall, she displayed compétant, kind and trustworthy antributes and is an all round lovely person. Thank you, we will definitely see you again

Thank you for a lovely review, we all had such a lovely experience, I felt really valued and appreciated
and a little sad upon our goodbyes but like we said we will see each other again soon.
You were so loving, welcoming, caring and I was so appreciative of them for this, that I was really able to relax around them all that it felt so much more than just a job for a few days...The children were so lovely and so much fun, they were all really lovely kids...we hit it off straight away...so easy to chat to the parents and were just lovely to be around...they treated me as one of the family from the start...Anyway any nanny/babysitter who is fortunate to come across you in Chiswick is very lucky indeed..
This was the first time we needed to employ a babysitter for our 4 year old, so we were pretty apprehensive about it. Samantha came to visit a few weeks prior to the evening we had booked, in order to meet us and most importantly, to meet our child. There was an immediate bond, only achieved by a professional who knows how to greet, react, engage with a vibrant youngster.
She arrived in good time to babysit on the evening requested, in order for us to escape for our special evening out.
Because of her immediate rapport when she arrived, there was absolutely no issue when Mum, Dad, Uncle, Granny and Grandpa departed for their evening out.
Bedtime went well with several stories.
Would we recommend Sam? Of course we would!
Please don’t think of booking her when we wish to!!!
