Alisha help us twice a week from our baby was 6 months old until the nursery started 4 months later. She has demonstrated to be a very professional carer, very calm and passionate about her job....a person who you can really trust and that has a lot to teach you when you are a new parent. Our baby loves her and we truly enjoyed her company when around. WELL DONE!
I wouldn't hesitate to use her again and she is recommended to anyone.

Alisha is wonderful, not only by our standards as parents, but our children adore her. She is so kind, soft spoken, and clearly loves caring children.
Alisha played loads of games, read books, sung songs, and cared for our youngest when she had a hard time sleeping.
We would absolutely recommend Alisha to any other parents looking for a sitter. We’re sure you’ll love her too!

Alisha started nannying for us when our daughter was eight months old. She was very knowledgeable and reassuring which helped with my return to work. Alisha is a very good listener and had helpful suggestions when caring for our daughter. She cooked delicious homemade meals for her (and for us), and did a lot of different activities with our daughter mixing things up and helping with her development. She also did some light cleaning and our daughter’s laundry. Alisha was always punctual and kept us updated throughout the day. She did many thoughtful things for our family, remembering special holidays and birthdays. Our daughter adored her and she was so gentle with her, she would fall asleep in her arms. Alisha is a very kind-hearted young woman who we still keep in contact with and we appreciate all of her thoughtfulness.

We've used Alisha a fair few times now for evening babysitting and she's absolutely great. She's reliable, so friendly and most importantly I feel happy leaving my 2 little boys (2 and 4) in her care.

I used Alisha for babysitting 3 years ago when my 2 little ones were 3 yrs old (girl) and 1 yr old (boy). She exceeds expectations when it comes to looking after kids, as she would bring them age appropriate books and toys; and clean up after the kids including doing some light housework without being asked.
Her love of children is obvious, and she has great pride in her work which is very reassuring in her line of work.
I would not hesitate to use her again or recommend her services to anyone.

Alisha is truly the Mary Poppins that God sends to us. I am a fulltime working mum who has not much energy left to cook and clean, let alone keeping my energy up with 2 active boys. With Alisha's service, my life is so much easier. She helps me with batch cooking (extremely yummy and full of vegetables - the best part is the boys LOVE it!) and doesn't shy from light housework (cleaning the eating areas, boys' rooms and general areas boys play at).
What I love Alisha is that she is always punctual, no need for micromanagement, always come up with great ideas before I thought of it and suggested it in a very polite and diplomatic ways.
The most important thing, the boys LOVE her. Kids are clever, they know who truly has an interest in them - Alisha makes great effort in talking to them and has built great rapport within a short space of time.
I would highly recommend her to anyone.

We had a lovely experience with Alisha. She was always full of energy and planned great activities for the kids. She was extremely caring and used to update us constantly about how they were doing. I felt the kids learnt a lot when they were with her, and they were always very enthusiastic whenever they saw her. She used to prepare a lot of meals not only for the kids but for the whole family and we used to find lots of arts and crafts waiting for us whenever we returned home. We can definitely recommend her. She is really a lovely person.

Alisha looked after our two little boys aged 4 and 16 months for 3 days a week and they loved every minute of it. Our relationship was only cut short due to a change in my working circumstances and it was a sad day for our family when we had to part company.
Her love of children is obvious from the outset and our boys immediately felt comfortable in her company. Her love and care for them was fantastic and she built a very strong relationship with both of them. They especially enjoyed all the drawing, painting and baking activities... especially when large quantities of cornflake cakes were involved!
It was a big step for us to have someone looking after our boys in our home, but we couldn't have found a better person to have done so.
A bubbly person with a big heart, she is a pleasure to be around... I was nearly late to work several times just from chatting to her!

Alisha has now babysat for us, taking care of our boys 6 & 4 and 1 year old daughter, on more than one occasion. My initial positive impression has been my lasting one. Alisha goes above and beyond in her care of the children and her communication with parents. She went to great lengths to understand each child and takes the upmost pride in her profession. We feel truly privileged to have met her and have our children benefit from her influence. Our children cannot wait to see her again!

Alisha is a great babysitter to my one year old daughter. She has a wealth of experience with children and babies and you really feel that when you meet her and see her in action. She is a natural and I felt very comfortable after our first meeting. She has been great with my daughter ever since. I would highly recommend her.

We can't speak highly enough of Alisha. She loves her job and this shows with her enthusiasm and planning of activities (outings, arts and craft, baking, etc). She is dedicated to ensuring that your child is loved and nurtured. She has nannied with us for well over a year, so has been with our daughter from baby to toddler and is very adaptable in her approach with children of different ages. She is prompt, punctual and keeps things very clean! We regard her as part of the family and so does our little one!

Alisha is a hugely caring and nurturing individual. She has made such a strong bond with my son who adores the attention she gives him and thrives on one to one focus. He loves to socialise at playgroups and is advanced in his skillset's due to the variety of educational fun activities Alisha provides.
I can highly reccommend Alisha. She is a delight to work with.

Alisha is a fantastic babysitter. I can highly recommend her. She spent 3 hours with my son of 8months today and I felt comfortable enough to go out and leave them together. She immediately got a sense of what he enjoyed doing and was able to comfort him. She also managed to get him to sleep which is a near miracle! She has a great way about her and is very upfront, kind and respectful.

Alisha made me feel very secure to leave my 10 week baby in her care. Alisha is a naturally caring person and I will certainly be looking to have her babysit for me again.

Our children had a very good time with Alisha and were fast asleep. We were relaxed as she was texting us during the evening to let us know how it was going. Thanks again Alisha!

Alisha has been to us twice as a Mothers help. She has quickly developed a rapport with the children especially my sensitive 4 year old. She is great with my 1 year old too and very adaptable to whatever the situation is. She is calm and friendly and a great help.

Alisha is very very nice girl, very professional and very experienced with children. Even I, super nervous leaving my girls (2.5years old & 6month old) to anyone, felt relaxed being out for the first time, and reassured by Alisha's texts to keep us updated.
I cant believe she settled my baby back to sleep within 10min, as she is teething badly and can cry madly, even my wonderful husband struggles longer and he knows his baby:)
Well done, Alisha! I was very happy with the service and do recommend her to anyone. she is truly amazing at her job and knows it inside out.
will def book her again.

Alisha has looked after our baby girl (11 months) for a few mornings over the last weeks - even though my baby has been teething and quite demanding, Alisha handled it really well, cuddled with her lots, played music with her, sang to her and just generally made sure she was as happy as could be!
I can highly recommend Alisha, anyone who is lucky enough to have her look after their child or children will know they are in safe and capable hands!

Alisha has sat for us on a couple of occasions and has been really great. On the latest occasion our little boy wouldn't go to sleep and cried when we left. I felt awful, but Alisha handled him beautifully, reading to him, singing with him and managed to get him off to sleep within half an hour.
She also text to keep us informed which was so reassuring. She also does lovely extra touches like leaving a little note for the parents.
We would highly recommend Alisha, she's a very capable pair of hands. I just hope she doesn't get too booked up!

Our family came across Alicia whilst looking for an after school nanny for our son. She has since become a regular babysitter for us. Our son adores her and is always happy to hear that she is coming to sit for him.
Alicia has a lovely bubbly personality. She quite clearly works hard and is dedicated and loves what she does. She is creative and has lots of tricks up her sleeves for entertaining kids. She can cook if you need her to as well.
Alicia always stays in touch when she is sitting and when we come home we often notice something extra she has done to help around the house which she does not need to do but it is always appreciated.

I have to say I was nervous leaving my baby with a babysitter for the first time at 5months. Alisha was very professional and put my mind at ease. She was prompt and very organised. I would highly recommend her for babysitting and will be using her in the future

We were looking for a reliable babysitter for our 2 little kids (1 yr and 4 yr-old) and came across Alisha's profile on childcare.co.uk. Her good reviews from other parents immediately caught my eye and after reading her profile I decided to contact her.
Since then Alisha has met and exceeded all my expections - she is the ideal babysitter. She is very experienced and highly dedicated to her job. Alisha clearly loves what she does.
The children are excited every time she comes over to look after them as it means fun and entertainment.
Alisha is able to stimulate the children with different kinds of play like singing, painting, reading or cooking. In many ways, Alisha brings nursery activities home with the slight difference that the children don't have to share the attention with lots of other children. It was so easy to connect to Alisha and we all love her!

Alisha is babysitting for us on an ad hoc basis. My two kids, 12 and 14 years old, are always happy to see Alisha and they are actually asking us to go out so that they can have Alisha over!!
Alisha transmits a happy vibe just in her presence, she is very flexible and caring and I am very lucky to have met her!

Alisha is a wonderful, caring and brilliant babysitter. You can tell she genuinely loves children as soon as you meet her, and my 4 year old Alex is always so excited when I tell him she is coming to look after him.
She's so good, I almost don't want anyone else to know because it means she'll get booked up looking after everyone else's children and poor little Alex will get sad because she's too busy!

Alisha is a very happy and easy going person. She has been looking after our twin girls for more than 7 months now and the girls adore her! They look very happy when I pick them up at the end of the day.
It's a great pleasure to know they are safe with her.. I would highly recommend her services and expertise.

Alisha is an outstanding babysitter and I would recomend her in a heartbeat. My 13 month old baby adores her.
Alisha is very experienced but its her obvious love of children that makes her so good at her job. Alisha is warm, friendly, bags of fun and incredibly professional; she even wrote a little report on nappy changes, feeding and play when she had my little boy for the afternoon. Really lovely touch and very much apprieciated.
