Emergency babysitter/nanny agencies - recommendations?

[Clare11]

Hi, I need a babysitter or nanny for just 3 days in a couple of weeks. We are thinking that perhaps an agency would be easiest giving the time constraint. We don't have time to vet babysitters personally but want a professional to look after our son.

Has anyone used an agency before that they could recommend? I need to be able to go to work knowing our little boy is in very safe hands.

Any recommendations appreciated...

I've also used sitters a few times and found them to be really good. The sitter you book is happy to come along and meet you directly before the booking so you are comfortable with them and your child is too. Julia
