Service: Babysitting services including tidying up and adapting to children's ages
I’ve had Manon babysit my three kids when they were 10, 8, and a baby, and I have total trust in her. She feeds them, plays games and does drawings, and she adapts really well to every age - she even played great with my son when he was 1, and still does now that he’s 3. The kids love her, and the best part is coming home to a tidy kitchen and little things done around the house, like the clothes picked up, so I don’t have to clean up at midnight. Price felt fair, and we just agree in advance about late nights and the taxi after midnight.

Service: Nanny service for a 20-month-old child, flexible household assistance
Eliana looks after my 20-month-old and has been with us a few months, a couple days a week, usually afternoons. My work is unpredictable and she’s been very flexible - some days she watches him, other days she helps around the house or makes his dinner so I can take him out for a walk. She’s responsive, easy going, very available, and has stayed a couple of evenings when we went out. Price felt more than fair, to the point we actually raised what she was asking because it felt too low, and she’s been a real find for us.

Service: Last-minute babysitting for 3 children, including care of a baby
I got in touch with Julie for a very last-minute babysitting on a Saturday for 2 hours for my three kids, including a little baby. She was available and very honest - she told me upfront she didn’t know how to change a diaper, which I appreciated, and it still went smoothly. The children were very delighted with her and everything was positive. Price felt normal from what I remember, and overall it was super good.

Service: Babysitting for three children in Ibiza hotel rooms
The service in Ibiza was just amazing - very easy to reach, very easy to vet and easy to get everything arranged. The caretaker, Alexandra, was super nice and professional, and we were quite calm to leave our three children in two hotel rooms while we went to see a gig at the club and then took a 25 minute taxi back. We got updates during the night with some pictures, felt really safe and secure, and it was very trustworthy. Price was very reasonable and I definitely recommend this service.

Service: No service was explicitly described in the context provided.
I have known her for many years now and she has always been nice and attentive. She works great with kids and they love her. She is young but very professional and takes her job seriously.
