Our best wedding purchase!

We booked Sammy and Beth in to give 1 to 1 care on our wedding day. They met with the children prior and even though they’re generally clingy they went to them instantly. They arrived pre ceremony and kept them entertained whilst we were in hair and makeup. Manoeuvring them for photos where needed and keeping them entertained in between. They had set up kids corner and they had a much better time than they would if we hadn’t booked them. The feeling of being completely stress free regarding their care on the big day was priceless. No worrying who had them, if they needed a nappy change or a snack, they were aware of the routine and handled everything by brilliantly!!

Absolutely brilliant!

We are so glad we found Sammy! We decided only a few weeks before our wedding that we should have someone to look after our 22 month old on the day. Luckily Sammy was available, kept in touch, visited us a few days before and was so brilliant.

On the day Sammy arrived whilst I was getting ready, so took over and played with our son, took him for a nap, made him lunch and got him ready. An absolute dream for me and my bridesmaids as I don’t have any immediate family around to help. She was available throughout the whole day and night, she took him away to play, kept him in the routine we have at home and he went to bed without a hitch! He was happy and entertained and it meant we could relax, he wasn’t attached to me, and we didn’t have to rely on any guests to keep him busy and miss anything taking him to bed etc.

She was so wonderful, and so many guests commented on how brilliant she had been throughout the day. Best money spent, and truly the most helpful when you have a toddler. Don’t hesitate!

She was lovely with the kids

She was really great with the kids, she had lots of toys and was happy to share with other kids she wasn't even looking after. Very friendly and open.

The best decision we’ve made.

Sammy was absolutely amazing from start to finish, I felt so comfortable leaving my children 3 & 6 months with her for the day, they could still interact with us whenever they wanted to but sammy was there to help out when it all got a bit much for them and they needed some quiet time.
I’d say this was the best decision we made! 100% worth it to make your day run smoothly if you have little ones and it takes the stress away panicking about them, she is a real life Angel! Xx

Thank you so much sammy xxxx

Absolutely amazing

We didn’t even know wedding sitters existed until my friend mentioned it. I searched on Hitched and found a few to enquire with and soon realised that this was something we absolutely needed as Nana would potentially miss key parts our day.

We chose Sammy due to her experience and brilliant reviews and it was the best decision we made. Our little boy isn’t the easiest to deal and but Sammy’s SEN experience definitely shone through.

Prior to booking, Sammy was prompt at replying, answering any questions we had and putting our minds at ease. We had a video call and she came to meet us nearer the wedding day to get to know us. Sammy listened to his needs, quirks and routine and made sure she stuck to his routine on the day while still allowing him to be part of the wedding. She blended in to the background and knew when to step in before he became overwhelmed. She even ensured he was dressed prior to the ceremony!

She stayed over at the venue, caring for him overnight and handed him over to Nana at the agreed time the next day. I got a full handover from Sammy to say how he had been overnight and she even packed away his travel cot and belongings.

She definitely went above and beyond. we can’t thank her enough for allowing us to enjoy our day knowing that our son was being cared for while still being a part of the celebrations.

A must if you have children at your wedding!

Sammy offered an invaluable service to us looking after our little boy and nephews on our wedding day. She kept our nearly 2 year old entertained all day and took the worry of any tantrums at bay. Sammy is such a lovely lady and has been extremely professional on the run up to the day. She provided an area of toys for the children to play with, played, settled and put our little boy to bed at night. Absolutely wonderful, thank you so much!

Highly Recommend!

Sammy was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. We knew our little one was in safe hands all day and night for our wedding. All his needs were taken care of and it just gave us peace of mind.

Sammy was super efficient at arranging a call and face to face meet which was great for all to meet eachother and go through the logistics in finer detail. Highly professional, communicative and friendly.

Thanks Sammy for looking after our boy, we really appreciated your support!

Incredible service

I would 1000% recommend Sammy she was incredible and her service was the best money we spent on our special day. It was so reassuring that our little boy was well looked after and it meant that all our guests and family could be in the moment to celebrate.

Invaluable

Sammy was such a good choice as our wedding sitter. We had family who had offered to look after our son and nephew but we wanted everyone to enjoy and relax - Sammy allowed everyone to be able to do that and not have to worry about the kids and making sure they were entertained and safe. We had a pre-wedding call and discussed what we wanted and she was simply amazing. For what she did for us, well worth it. I cannot thank her enough X thanks again Sammy. Absolutely fantastic!

Cannot be any more complementary of Sammy!

I don't even know where to start when talking about our experience with Sammy. We had our 14 week old at our wedding and I can honestly say it could not have been made any easier than Sammy made it with her help. In the build up to the wedding, Sammy was in regular contact with my husband and I, checking in with us, asking for updates on our little girl and learning her routine. Sammy met our little girl before the wedding and safe to say, Ava was very much at ease with Sammy. On the day, Sammy helped in every single way possible. She was always on hand when things were a little too much for Ava and she needed a little quiet time or a sleep. Sammy settled Ava for the evening in our room and stayed with her until the wedding had finished. Ava was so happy with Sammy all day and all of our friends and family have not stopped talking about how amazing Sammy was. I would recommend Sammy's services to absolutely anyone, she was beyond amazing. Thank you so much Sammy!

Amazing, would recommend to anyone.

Sammy was brilliant. She came and met the kids a week before. As soon as she arrived they just took to her and instantly we could relax. The kids were then able to wind down with Sammy, she played with them, made them a bite to eat and put them to bed. They enjoyed themselves and we were able to relax and enjoy our evening doo. I Would absolutely recommend The wedding sitter to anyone, she went above and beyond x

Wedding at Wyresdale

Although we only had two children at our wedding, we wanted to be able to keep them entertained and let the adults let their hair down. Sammy was perfect, making sure they were available for photos when needed. She brought lots of games and crafts and was amazing with the kids. We met beforehand which was very helpful too. Knowing you’ve got someone you can trust is so important and we’d definitely recommend Sammy to couples looking for a wedding sitter!

Our Mary Poppins!!

I can't recommend this lady enough! From the moment we found her she made the effort to call us several times to get to know our little boy ahead of our big day. He felt so comfortable around her and ensured he was well looked after whilst still enjoying the wedding day. He said he had a great time and I can't thank you enough for taking the pressure off our big day. Thank you!!

An angel sent from heaven

We have a little boy who is non verbal autistic and we knew he would struggle during our big day, and he would need to stick to his bedtime routine.
We had looked around for ages for someone to nanny our boy who had experience with SEN children and non verbal children, and then a friend recommended the wedding babysitter (Sammy) to us. She sent over all of her qualifications, put our mind at rest with quick response to our questions and even took time out of her day to come and meet our boy before the big day so he could recognise her face and be comfortable being left with Sammy.
Sammy made sure she was aware of his special interests, and brought them with her for my boy to use.
She kept us informed with any information and let us know everything was ok with our boy in the evening which put our mind at rest so we could enjoy the evening.
