She was punctual and went the extra mile to make a connection with our kids, even going to the library prior to find some age-appropriate books. She was easy to communicate with and is well qualified. We wouldn't hesitate to use Ngaire again next time we visit Adelaide.

I was tasked to find a sitter last minute, for a bright and curious child. Ngaire met and exceeded the requirements. So much so, that the father asked me if he could use her again on the second day which was not the initial requirement. Both Minh, his son Don and myself were extremely happy with Ngaire's nature, and willingness to make the time a wonderful experience for the child. I will be recommending her to anyone looking for a casual sitter.

Ngaire cared for our 10 month old while we had a night out in Adelaide. She was brilliant, and we immediately felt very comfortable with her. Highly recommended.
