  • Jo has been supporting our family for the past 2 years, caring for my grandchildren whenever needed. The children adore her and are always excited to see her. She is fun, energetic, and nurturing, with a calm confident manner that connects wonderfully with the children. Jo is flexible, reliable, and helps with everything from morning rituals and daycare drop-offs, to activities, meals, bath time, and bedtime routines. She has truly been a lifesaver for our family, and we feel incredibly lucky to have her in our lives.

  • I was visiting Cairns for work and used Executive Babysitting to look after our 2 boys (6 years and 1 year old) for few hours so me and my wife could attend work dinner. Christine was very friendly and kids had good time with her. Would definitely use executive babysitting again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others.

  • Tammy was great! My 1 year old son felt really comfortable with her and had a great time. I definitely reccommend Executive Babysitting if you are on holiday and need someone to look after your little one in your hotel.

  • Jo was amazing! My kiddos had a lovely time with Jo and I would highly recommend her services.

  • I am super happy and most importantly my son is happy, the sitter was lovely and very comfortable and my son was relaxed and happy around her. First time user and I'll definitely use this service again . Thanks Rosie
