Having Laila look after my 2 children, was great. I can say that she is kind, organised, takes initiative, responsible, mature and trustworthy. They baked, did homework, went to park along with other activities.

“She has been absolutely incredible with my daughter Leya who is 6 years old. We stayed at The Emory and she was with us every morning doing a range of activities with Leya and kept her curious, entertained whilst learning. Her energy is so positive and my daughter clicked with her instantly! I couldn’t recommend her more.”

“ It was my first time to hire a babysitter for my five-month baby and was a bit worried. Laila did a great job soothing her with an awesome technique to make her taking a nap longer than her usual ones. Laila is nice and polite; she respected the safety measures: wearing her mask all the time and carrying a hand gel. I highly recommend her.”

“My 8 year old daughter, who had never had a non-family member look after her, was really nervous about meeting her KidSitter. Laila was a hit with my daughter and talked about her for days. Wanted me to go out again so Laila could look after her. Thank you Laia!”

“Laila was a good siter, very interactive with my child. But unfortunately the 3 rating is because she gave the impression that she didn’t want to do the job, was in a great hurry to leave (left before the set time as she had another arrangement), and didn’t clean up the meals prepared after before she left. If this will improve, this would be great ”

“Laila was very lovely and you can tell she's experienced. She would make the children feel welcomed and able to get them engaged with the activities they had in the room. As there was a good flow of children, not one went out to look for the parent once in the room with the sitters. There were a great amount of activities to keep them entertained. She is structured and great fun to have around.”

“Laila is a great babysitter! We would be happy to have her watch our children any time. She is easy to work with, and quickly engaged with my children. She took my son to a music class and is very comfortable taking over and easily connecting with the kids. She tidied up and was very helpful whil we were rushing around to pack and get out the door on holiday. We hope she can come again! ”

“Laila is just simply awesome! She is efficient, super friendly and my daughter loves being with her. I have utter confidence when I leave my daughter with her, she takes such good care of her and is even teaching her french :) It is so scary as a mum leaving your child with someone, even knowing they have been vetted but with Laila that is absolutely not an issue. I cannot recommend her highly enough!”

“Laila is lovely. She is punctual, patient, and fun. My 2.5 year old daughter loves her. Laila always takes her for a morning walk, often stops to buy groceries, and then cooks her a lovely lunch. She plays play-do, blocks and other things with Olivia, and is brilliant at getting her to wear socks (something I often fail to convince her to do)! I would highly recommend Laila.”
