I've known Miri for 4 years. She has been babysitting our 3 children - mostly evenings, but also during the day sometimes. She is very reliable, responsible and has never let us down. Organised and confident, she jumps into it with no complaints. She happily takes on 3 kids at dinner time, which is no mean feat. She plays with the kids, and they love her. She can also be quite firm with them too, and they respond to her really well. I would absolutely recommend her for babysitting.
Miri has babysat our 13-month old a few times over the last few months. He doesn't like strangers, but he liked Miri. She was able to withstand his crying which is not something everyone has been able to, so she is tenacious. She also follows instructions and routines really well. She reads to him, and does everything I ask her to do with openness and honesty. I continue to use her when I need a sitter and recommend her to other parents.
It's early days, but Miri has been a wonderful sitter for my son so far and we're looking forward to continuing a long-term arrangement with her. My son is 2 years old and due to on-call requirements, I've hired Miri to help out on those occasions with nursery pick-up, travel home, putting my son to bed and staying in my home overnight in case I'm called away to work. She's kind, respectful, understanding and a pleasure to have in my home. My son took to her immediately and I'd feel comfortable leaving her with him during the night if/when I'm called into work. Miri is easy to communicate with, friendly and has taken easily to a rather unique situation, which has been invaluable
Miri has been an absolute gem with our 2 year old. She keeps him engaged and learning throughout the day, takes him out to parks and playgrounds, handles meals and naps with ease, and has such a warm, engaging presence that he's completely obsessed with her. As someone who works from home, I couldn't ask for more - she's trustworthy, attentive, and has given us both the confidence that he's in the best hands.
Our three kids very much enjoy spending time with Miri. She is kind, interested in their stories, up for playing all sorts of games and really listens to them - they love the attention. For us, communication with Miri is easy: she is very responsive, and has helped us out on very short notice, and always tries to work around our schedule. We can very much recommend her!
Miri looked after my 10 month old son for 6 days when our regular nanny was unavailable. They got on super well and Otto warmed to her very quickly. Miri is warm, capable and very likeable. Otto and I will be happy to hire her again
Our 8 and 6,5 year old boys (and dog) instantly warmed to Miri, who is a complete natural around children (as well as animals). She is also responsive, organised and reliable. As an added bonus she’s a very good cook and happily prepares a nutritious meal for them and us. We can easily recommend Miri to other families.

About me
Hello! My name's Miri, I'm 32 and I'm currently based in Ealing. I have 10 years' experience looking after all sorts of characters and ages as a nanny/babysitter since moving to London in 2015. I would describe myself as very creative, warm, friendly, energetic and maternal. I'm very proud to say that every child I've ever met has liked me! I absolutely love spending time with children and meeting new characters. I can't wait to have my own family one day.
