Karen was punctual and put the kids (ages 1 and 4) to bed without issue. Thanks!

Karen is such a lovely person and great with children. We felt very comfortable leaving our 10 month old with her. Karen arrived early and immediately played and made our son feel comfortable. Highly recommended!

Karen was great! She was on-time and unflustered by our disorganised family that were running around preparing for a night out. My son loved playing board games with her and has asked if she can watch him again, which we will certainly do.

Karen was great with our 5 and 7 year old boys. She arrived on time with games and activities for them and our boys had a great time with her.

Clay H .       June 2021

Punctual, professional, thoughtful about what to do to keep children entertained. Her early childhood qualifications and experience are more than evident. And she was a HUGE hit with our kids.

Thanks Kaz for minding our 18 month old so we could head out for dinner.

Francesco B .       January 2020

Karen was simply perfect: she arrived a bit earlier, and our daughter immediately started to play and have fun with her like she already knew her from before.
We definitely recommend her!

Alex D .       January 2020

We highly recommend Karen. She was a kind, trustworthy and highly capable babysitter! She came prepared with activities for my little ones and was brilliant at settling my 2 year old whilst keeping my 4 year old entertained. Her experience and love for kids was very reassuring.

Highly recommend

Karen is an excellent babysitter/nanny. She looked after our 3 year old daughter for 3 days while we were at a conference At the Sunshine. Coast. Each day she turned up promptly with a large bag of entertainment for our daughter - who absolutely adored her. It was so good to know our daughter was in safe and loving hands. Karen kept us informed of what was planned for the day and what happened after - including sending photos of their adventures. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and will definitely request to book her if we return here.

Karen was absolutely fantastic! My son warmed to her immediately with a big squeezy cuddle. Karen showed up nice and early for the run down and had a little bag of goodies to play with too!
Highly recommend 👌

Sally S .       September 2019

Karen was great and looked after our two children very well. No complaints! Would not hesitate in recommending her.

Anthony H .       September 2019

Karen was really great with our 10 month old daughter. Our daughter hadn’t been left with a babysitter before but Karen was so good with her and clearly has lots of experience with children, so it put our mind at ease. We would definitely have Karen round again :-)

Suzie T .       September 2019

We were so grateful Karen could come and look after our 21 month old for us at short notice. She got straight to chatting with our little one and making her feel comfortable. Karen was more than happy to take charge of doing her bottle and putting her to bed when ready. Thanks for looking after her Karen 😊

Karen was terrific- so calm, kind and caring. She was amazing with my one year old, I would definitely use Karen again.

I have worked alongside Karen at CandK (Creche and Kindergarten), and found her very professional in her child care practices.
She displayed very high standards of care and nurturing for all children. and provided excellent learning opportunities for all children in her care. She is reliable and very punctual.
I would not hesitate to recommend any child care job opportunites which may come up for Karen.
Kind Regards
