Patricia

Great babysitting experience

Trish babysat our 13 month old for the evening whilst we were at my sisters wedding and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a babysitter. She was great at communicating with us, we had a quick call a couple of days before to chat through the plan and she completely put our minds at ease, we felt very comfortable leaving our son with her. Thank you very much again Trish!

A loving nanny

I have had the pleasure of meeting Pat recently and she has been kindly looking after my baby boy for a couple of months now. She is very calm, loving and a caring nanny. I feel at ease when I leave my baby with Pat and her experience is apparent to me.
Pat looks after my baby very gently and looks after him with love and care. She has also looked after my 7 year old daughter who thoroughly enjoyed her time with Pat and together they had a wonderful time where my daughter spoke very highly about Pat.
Thank you Pat.

Kind and calm lady

When I first contacted Trish to discuss babysitting needs she was very kind and understanding. We arranged for her to visit us and both my boys aged 5 and 10 were excited to meet her and show her around our home. I was really impressed with Trish's experience. We had an evening out for our older boy recently and Trish came to look after our 5 year old. Everything went really well and felt calm when we arrived home. It was nice of her to send me a message when H had gone to bed nicely after doing puzzles, playing cars and reading with her. We are looking forward to some future kid free nights out with Trish here with the boys

Amazing, Professional and

We wanted a night away in London and contacted Trish to confirm her availability. Trish come to see our family home and the children a few days before we left and from the moment we met her we knew she was the perfect fit.

When you sit down with Trish you soon feel at ease with the wealth of experience she has accumulated over her life and career to look after your children.

Our children are aged 5,5,7 and 9. She greeted them from school, prepared tea and got them in bed without any trouble at all, tidied up and then following morning had them up bright and early, dressed and out the door without any trouble.

When we returned the house was clean and tidy and she left a lovely note on anything she felt we needed to know.

Thank you once more and hopefully see you soon xx

Calm, loving and organised

Tricia was amazing, she looked after my 3 & 5 year old for a few days and nights. For various reasons my little girls are really sensitive and have only stayed away from me a few times so I was really worried that they wouldn’t settle but Tricia was great with them, and knew exactly how to handle them. They both asked when she was coming back so that’s got to be a brilliant sign. She really is your very own Mary poppins! Thanks Tricia xx

Modern day Mary Poppins

Trish looked after my 4 year old and 9 month old for a whole weekend while I went away.

I was let down by my childcare arrangement and contacted her last minute for help. We had a meeting which was also last minute. She has a very kind nature and put me at ease during the meeting and I just knew my children would be okay in her hands.

We had a few blips such as me being stuck in traffic but she wasn’t phased by anything. My eldest loved his time with her and didn’t even miss me! And my 9 month old took to her very well, usually she’s very clingy and won’t settle with others without me there.

For someone to take on a huge job with very young children just shows how experienced they are and I would love to have Trish again if I need help with childcare in the future.

Massive thank you!

Everything you could need in a babysitter

Trish looked after my daughter when I needed an overnight nanny at short notice. She was everything that I could have hoped for and more. My 2 year old adored her and spoke about her for days when she had left, I would recommend her to anyone.
Trish set my mind totally at ease, was in contact whenever I needed her to be and could not have been more professional.

Part of our family for 3 years

Trish calmly arrived on the scene to save the day when I was required to return to work when our daughter was 3 months old. I was at ease from the moment she walked in for the interview, and she was with us until Georgie was three. She was an immense support to us at every stage of her development.
They attended music classes and swimming together, but also very happy at home, keeping a nap schedule and playing, but moving on to starting to write and learn letters and numbers. They were often out and about locally, and Georgie got used to the rhythms of attending the library and taking our dog for walks... the routines gave her (and our terrier!) a lot of structure that helped the household run.
Trish is a patient nanny and excellent parental sounding board, never judgemental, but direct with her own experiences and views, which as a brand new parent was really helpful and reassuring.
Trish became very much a member of our family and someone that our daughter saw as a close friend and support. We miss her dearly but know we will keep in touch.

I trust Trish as if she were family!

I was new to Cheltenham when my daughter was born so when it came to finding a nanny/babysitter, all I had to go on were reviews and the instinctual feeling when you meet someone. That was nearly two years ago and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that Trish made me feel so calm during our interview and then proved herself to be a jewel when it came to her interaction with my daughter. On a personal note, you can tell she loves children and she's clearly very good at her "job". And on a professional level, she is outstanding to work with. Often times parents worry if their child is ok when they're alone with a babysitter but I can honestly tell you, we don't ever have that feeling when Trish is at our house.

Wonderfully cared for our two children

Trish brilliantly cared for our two children (8 year old and baby`) when we had to go away for two days. I was very nervous at first, but Trish was very experienced, really caring, and super reliable. We were very grateful for her care. She brought library books and activities for my son (who was very happy with her), and was very good with the baby (taking her out for walks, feeding, bathing, putting her to sleep, etc.). She left a detailed note about how the children were. We look forward to seeing her again!
