Maya looks after our daughter since nursery where she was the room leader. As she looked after her after school, they went home together. Maya prepared her dinner and put her to bed. She is creative, loving and quite frankly, everything a parent could ask for. They did a variety of activities, depending on how late it was.

“We love Maya!! Our 1 year old always has so much fun with her. She is sweet, interactive, and very attentive to our baby’s needs. She is also a great communicator and always lets us know how he is doing while we are away. I would highly recommend Maya to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable sitter! ”

“On time and very friendly. She helped me look after my 3 kids (ages 8, 6 & 1.5) while I was at home working on other things. I feel she is perfectly fine and confident with older kids. However I sensed a bit less confidence with my toddler. Hesitant to do a nappy change which is important to stay on top of when looking after the littlest ones. ”

“Maya was punctual and thoughtful. My 4 year old son was comfortable being left in her care and sheput him to bed without any problems. She actually turned up earlier than booked which she asked if she could do ahead of time which was great, and she also texted throughout the night to let us know everything was fine. Great service.”

“Maya was very friendly...came on time...basically my daughter is not used to babysitters as I'm with her 24/7 so she obviously was not used to Maya. However, she managed to handle this situation. So thanks Maya for the help and support. ”

“Maya was punctual at our appointment with short notice, and she may well be a good sitter for older kids. But for our 2yrs old girl, she seems quite inexperienced with young children of this age group (failed to get her up from her nap, not familiar with meals preparation, put our 6months old baby's nappy to our 2yrs old...). I would unfortunately have to choose someone else next time.

“Maya travelled a long distance to get to our place and was there on time. She was great with our boys and they both liked her a lot and were very happy when we arrived home. I think we may have crossed wires when it came to snacks but that's a minor issue and something I'm sure we could sort out in future. She was very sweet and we'd hire her again.”

“Maya was early to both babysiting sessions. Today's session left me excited as I overheard my little 21 month old repeating what she said (as they were drawing together) before I left the house. My little one was very chatty around her and seemed very comfortable. Will definitely have Maya with us again!”
