Amanda

Lovely, reliable and my children think she's great

Amanda has helped us out with regular babysitting over the last few months. She is always punctual, keeps in contact, has a great way with the children. She calmly and effectively deals with tea, bath, bed, stories and even does my son's reading with him. She is very warm but is effective at keeping control (!) And always gives a lovely update of what we missed! Highly recommended

Thank you Cathy! Your children are such a delight to care for, always happy, smiling and best of all, respond to instructions well 😊 They make it an absolute pleasure 🙏 Thank you for your kind words, very much appreciated.

Amanda is amazing!!!

I was a nervous 1st time babysittee but Amanda soon put my mind at rest! My 2 boys absolutely adore her, she is literally part of our family and we are so lucky to have her as support for us when the hubby and I need some adult dinner and drinks time!
Couldn’t recommend Amanda enough, she’s so good with my boys and they are always happy to see her as she lets them win at chess 😉

...and l adore your boys! You've made it so easy for me Nina, the credit is all yours! You have raised kind, funny, respectful & polite young men, who no doubt in my mind, will be Gentleman one day. Thank you for welcoming me into your family, l always love coming to help you guys out... and play Snake n Ladders and beat the boys! They're such good sports! Thank you for the lovely review, see you soon! 😊

A second grandma for my kids

I connected with Amanda instantly on the phone as it was clear that we shared the same view of the importance of instilling core values like manners, boundaries, routines and clear instructions. She has a firm but fair approach, which is congruent with my being consistent with giving my kids a frame work where they understand what is acceptable and non acceptable behaviour. Her warmth and humour comes through and my kids had a lot of laughs with her and was comfortable to wake up with her on their own, without me there. I would thoroughly recommend Amanda and she will be my first point of call when I come back in the UK.

Thank you so much Victoria! What a wonderful review. I felt the same, instantly. You all made me so so welcome and l felt I'd known you all forever. Your children are wonderful, bright and loving ❤️ and as little as they are, know their manners and are beautifully polite. They're little treasures! They took to me so quickly and we had such fun over those days ending with big hugs. Miss you guys and look forward to seeing you all again when you next return to the U.K. More big hugs from here to Italy 🇮🇹 🤗

Great Babysitter

We have regularly used Amanda for our monthly night outs and help looking after our girls when we have to go to work. Would highly recommend. She has a lovely nature with our children and is very down to earth- often baking cakes and playing games with our daughters. We have been really pleased with her especially as 'getting a babysitter' was quite a new experience.
