‎”Michaela was wonderful. She exuded calm, capable confidence from the moment she arrived. The twins seemed instantly relaxed with her. She was keen to ensure that she respected our wishes in the way that we put the babies to sleep and so on. It was the first time we had left the babies with anyone in the evenings and it was a long time – 7 hours. I have to say I was apprehensive, especially as they are usually breastfed to sleep, but as soon as I met Michaela I felt calm. The babies were amazing and slept most of the evening as well as going down to sleep well (something that can’t be said for when they are with their Mum and Dad), so I’d love her to come every night.

Thanks for sorting out such a great sitter, she really helped us enjoy our evening out. We will definitely be using Sitting Pretty again and I will recommend it to my friends.”
