Wendy was great - calm & capable. Perfect communication in the lead-up and during the booking. Would happily book again.

Adelaide S .       September 2022

Wendy was amazing with our daughter. She arrived on time and took in all of the information thrown at her. Our daughter was happy when I left for the evening and happy in the morning when she woke. She was even looking for her new friend Wendy in the morning. 100% would book Wendy again if needed.

Nicholas D .       July 2022

Wendy was just fantastic with our 8 month old boy. Needless to say we’ll be using her services again.

Tobie M .       July 2022

Wendy was fantastic looking after my kids. She had them settled down and in to bed in no time. She messaged with an update as our smallest was a little upset to start with.
I would highly recommend Wendy

Kelsey C .       May 2021

Wendy was lovely and really great with the kids. We were able to go out with confidence.

Jessica S .       February 2021

My son was a little upset to be left with a babysitter, especially as we don’t often use them. But Wendy was absolutely brilliant with him and all he talked about the next day was how he liked Wendy.
Highly recommend!!!

Bridget M .       December 2020

Wendy was amazing. She was fantastic with the kids from the minute she arrived. She was also very flexible with our end time which got pushed back due to unforeseen circumstances. We'd definitely hire Wendy again.

Maya W .       December 2020

Wendy arrived early, was friendly and professional, we had no issues leaving our 20month old son with her. She spent the afternoon with him, plus dinner and bedtime routine without any issues. Would happily recommend.

Pj W .       December 2019

Wendy was lovely, kids warmed to her well and we have already made a second booking for our next visit.

Keri-Lee G .       December 2019

Wendy was brilliant with our very shy 22 month old - would highly recommend! She was on time, very professional, relaxed and put us at ease too (first time leaving our daughter!).

Kuelli G .       November 2019

She was on time, friendly and great with our 13-month old daughter. Would hire again!

Kynwynn S .       October 2019

Wendy accepted a last minute booking and made what could have been a stressful night very easy. Prompt and very relaxed with the kids who thought she was great (3yrs and 5yrs).

Sally J .       November 2019

Wendy was great with my 3 and 5 year old when we were on the Mornington Peninsula for a wedding. She arrived at our hotel on time. She was friendly and capable, and kept them happily entertained. Even had them in bed and asleep at a great time. Thanks Wendy. Would book again.

Kate W .       October 2019

A friendly, kind, capable and professional carer. Exceeded our expectations in looking after our 4 kids (including one who was unwell with a virus and one with special needs). Highly recommend.

Carly K .       May 2019

Wendy was fantastic. She was on time, very friendly and had both kids under control when we returned. I'd definitely recommend both Wendy and Sittr.

Sue K .       May 2019

Wendy was just lovely with the kids - she cooked and even tidied up - what a sigh of relief I breathed. She simply was perfect

All kids loved Wendy and we came home to a calm and happy house.
We highly recommend Wendy and would use her again without any hesitation.

Wendy helped us with only a few hours notice and was very professional. The boys loved her and we’d recommend her to anyone.

Rebecca H .       January 2019

Highly recommended.

Briana P .       January 2019

We would highly recommend Wendy. She was fantastic with our two little ones (2 years old and 6 months old), the older of whom has been talking eagerly about a second visit, which we’ve also booked in. Wendy comfortably handled our 2 (almost) under 2, including balancing meals, naps and playtime for both. She was conveniently available and flexible with times.

Emma F .       January 2019

Wendy was wonderful caring for our daughter for the afternoon.

Rebecca L .       December 2018

Mark H .       November 2018

Thanks Wendy! Wendy was very engaged with my daughter she was very easy deal with and even washed some dishes... Amazing service! 5 Stars ⭐️

Tim F .       November 2018

Great Sittr! Gave our daughter dinner, entertained her and put her to bed. This allowed NY wife and I to go on a much needed date night. Highly recommend her to anyone needing a Sittr.

Maddy B .       October 2018

Wendy has cared for my 7 week old son twice now and I highly recommend her for newborns. Easily feeds, burps, changes, settles and cuddles the little guy with no dramas. I've been at home and out of the house leaving Wendy with my son and trust that she will take great care of him.

Alexandra D .       October 2018

Wendy was fantastic, the kids loved her. She brought colouring in materials which kept the kids entertained and it was wonderful to come home to the kids in bed and a tidy apartment.

Wendy has been a work colleague of mine for 2 years. She is a supportive and considerate person and has a great rapport with the children we work with. She is caring, patient and very creative.
Wendy is organised and always willing to learn and she thinks about the needs of the children we work with. I would not hesitate to recommend her for any babysitting jobs that may arise in the future.
