Ruby was a great babysitter for my daughters (11 and 9). They had a lovely time together and Ruby was punctual, helpful and easy to communicate with.

Kelly B .       January 2024

Ruby was on time and brought craft to do. Kids were fine with her ages 7 and 12. But my 12 year said she would be great with younger pre school age kids.

Hilary J .       January 2024

Ruby was great, kids had lots of fun and enjoyed their time with her. She replied to messages quickly and we would definitely have Ruby watch our kids again in the future.

Kirsty L .       December 2023

Ruby was a delight person, and our kids loved spending the evening with her. She arrived on time, looked after dinner, bath and bedtime stories, she somehow had time to also tidy our kitchen before she left. We’d definitely use her again if we needed a babysitter.

Aarzoo D .       November 2023

Ruby was great , our son was very upset to let us go but eventually he got along with her, when I came back he said he would like to see her again :)
She brought her own toys , took him to the park , and even cleaned our kitchen

Would highly recommend her

Georgina E .       November 2023

Ruby was prompt, helpful, the kids loved her and she left the house spotless! Happy to have her back any time

Laura D .       November 2023

Ruby was great with my 2.5 year old daughter - she engaged with her immediately and my daughter was happy, and settled when we left, and fast asleep when we got home. She even tidied all our dishes away which was not expected but very much appreciated. I would definitely feel comfortable booking Ruby again!

Miranda J .       November 2023

Ruby was punctual and polite. I felt very safe leaving my two year old with her.

Ruby was on time, the kids engaged with her well, made an artwork and she went through their bedtime routine perfectly. Thanks Ruby! :)

Pasquale G .       October 2023

Ruby was an amazing sitter! To this day our boys are still asking when Ruby is coming back. She brought her own activities to do with the kids, got the kids settled and into bed with a story. Ruby even unpacked the dishwasher. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!

Ana Paula G .       December 2023

Ruby was amazing with my daughter, she is punctual, reliable and has such a sweet personality.

Ruby arrived early and quickly engaged with her. My daughter even stoped crying when I was about to leave.

And what a great surprise when we got home and everything was tidy and even the dishes were put away.

I highly recommend Ruby and will be booking her in the future again!

Ruby was great. Arrived on time and got stuck in looking after the kids straight away. She was attentive and efficient and the kids enjoyed having her look after them. She even cleaned up the kitchen, tidied the living room and folded our washing on her own initiative.

Jade M .       July 2023

Ruby was punctual and easy to communicate with. My son warmed to her immediately. She even brought a bag of toys which he was delighted with. Thank you Ruby for a wonderful sitter experience!

Ruby came 10 min early. She immediately started helping our eldest Isabelle getting dressed post-bath. We were able to leave for our party soon after and whilst there, she texted to let us know they were soundly asleep. We got home much later than anticipated and she was very good about it (thank you Ruby). We also noticed she had cleaned the kitchen and folded our laundry. We would definitely have Ruby back!

Ruby was great. This was our first time using a babysitter that wasn't a family member, for our 1 and 3 year old. We came home to both babies fed, bathed and in bed asleep and Ruby even packed up the toys and washed up the dishes. The kids warmed to her quickly and she handled our clingy 1 year old with care and calm. I will hire Ruby again!

We were travelling as a family,staying in a small and basic hotel and I took my older children out to see the Harry Potter show. Ruby was prompt at replying to all my messages. She happily provided ID on meeting and was even able to come early at very short notice. She arrived on time and prepared with games and ideas. My 6 year old warmed immediately to her simple kindness and there were no tears or separation anxiety. She responded quickly via text during the intermission to assure me all was well. I arrived home to a sleeping child and she had even tidied up !
I would recommend Ruby and wish her all the best.

Nicole G .       July 2022
