Ciara is a kind, proactive and genuinely brilliant babysitter. She was recommended to me after helping my friend (which always bodes well) and we weren’t disappointed. When we first met, we trusted her completely and my 4 year old daughter immediately felt comfortable. She kept asking me when Ciara would be coming back to babysit and my 13 year old (who we thought would take issue to having a babysitter full- stop) was more than happy.

I worked as a nanny for many years and so I can really appreciate how much effort and hard work being a good childcare provider is and Ciara goes above and beyond. Thoughtful is an understatement- one evening while babysitting we received a message asking if we had spare salt and returned home to find she had made salt dough and set up a scene with the ‘elf on the shelf’ for the kids to find in the morning.

We asked her to be an extra set of hands at our wedding, which was the best decision. She perfectly gauged the situation and stepped in as and when was appropriate, diverted a few tantrums and kept our daughter entertained and happy without a fuss. She even took it upon herself to bring her camera and acted as photographer- knowing that we didn’t have one- and got the most wonderful pictures of our day.

Her experience and understanding of additional needs is a huge bonus whether you have neurodivergent children or not. Her demeanour is welcoming, warm, fun and knowledgeable. We couldn’t recommend her more. Thank you Ciara!
