Hi Robyn - Thanks for your help with babysitting our daughter. Petrina was great!! We were a bit nervous, as it was the first time she was going to babysat. I wnd fine and we would be happy to use your services again, Cheers Guy and Anne - Feb 2010

Thanks Robyn, it was all fine, Ursula was great. Dan - Feb 2010

Dear Robyn, we have just arrived home from Byron Bay and I wanted to send a quick note to say a big thanks for your service on Monday evening. Linda was terrific - we all really liked and felt very comfortable with her. And we are very pleased to have found a babysitting service which we will definately use again and recommend to friends. Kind regards Karyn - March 2010

Dear Robyn, thankyou for organising Petrina last week - she was very nice and we were very happy with your service. Thanks again for your help. Jill - April 2010

Hi Robyn, we found Ursula to be very friendly and capable, and had no qualms about leaving her to look after our toddler while we enjoyed a rare night out!! Thanks again, Laura - March 2010

Dear Robyn, I very much appreciated Kate babystting our 6 month old baby on Saturday night. She was very flexible with times and absolutely lovely. I was very concerned about initially leaving my little girl but after speaking to you on the phone and meeting Kate, I felt very comfortable. Kind regards Kate - March 2010

Hi Robyn, on behalf of the 4 of us parents who had Amanda over for our week at Aamari Thai retreat, can we say a huge thank you to you for the great service, Amanda is amazing with children and families, she got straight into being part of the 2 families, getting to know the kids and helping out with every aspect of our day, the children adored her and we had the utmost confidence leaving her in charge of the 4 children under the age of 4.. She had activities planned for the children everyday, she prepared meals, bathed the kids, swan with them, read books, then got them to sleep, she cleaned up, she kept us all company, she was looking after all of us, not just the kids. We will recommend your service to all our friends heading up north. Thanks Fiona - March 2010

Robyn, The service was fantastic thankyou!! You had fabulous communication with me and were understanding with last minute changes.   Both Kate and Diane were wonderful and I have already given your phone number to another couple of people, one of which used you on the weekend, her name was Kate and she used Ursula. Thankyou again, Beth - Jan 2009.

Thanks Robyn, we were very happy with the quality of BYRON BABE WATCH's service and with the nannies, (Ursula and Jane) who were well prepared and experienced and who showed genuine interest in our baby and 2 year old. Patrizia and Murray - Jan 2009.

Thanks Robyn, it was all good. Jane did a good job thanks, Always pleasing when babysitting goes off without a hitch. Thanks, Andrew - Jan 2009

Hi Robyn, just touching base to let you know that I thought Petrina was just devine. She was warm and gentle and caring. She was so experienced with baby Lexi and creative with her arts and crafts with the older kids. Thanks for allocating her to us. Regards Romy - Jan 2009

Thanks Robyn, Petrina was lovely as ever. Kind regards Kate - Jan 2009

Hi Robyn, the cot hire service was fantastic and we will definitely use it again the next time we are in Byron. We will also recommend the service.   Thanks also for organising the babysitter for us, Ryan was a good boy and didn't wake up so he wasnt too much trouble which was good. Once again many thanks. Lynley - Jan 2009

Hi Robyn, Jane was absolutely fantastic taking care of the girls! They warmed to her immediately and loved her box of activities she brought along with her. It was nice to come on a holiday and to be able to ensure the kids were well looked after while we could go out and enjoy ourselves. It was like she had had baby sat for us for years!! We will be back again and will definitely put in a request for her. Thanks for your help Robyn it was much appreciated. Regards Felicity - Jan 2009

Hi Robyn thanks for organising Petrina for us. Misha had a lovely time and we felt very secure and confident leaving her with Petrina for the first time. Thanks again, Gabby - Jan 2009

Robyn, thank you so much for your service, Kate was an absolute gem. It didnt take long for us to realise that she had everything under control and we were able to relax without the little ones.   All the mums were really greatful for a lovely evening without the usual pressures and the bride was especially happy that the reception was child free. So thanks again. Regards Joy - Feb 2009

kate, thanks again for babysitting last night, we had a great time. I also wanted to thank you for washing up etc, this goes beyond normal babysitting duties and we really appreciate it. Hope to see you again one day. Leah Ballina - March 2009

Hi Robyn, Nic, Eamonn's mum here. I wanted to let you know what a lovely young woman Jo is. I felt very confident leaving Eamonn with her today. Jo made it an interesting and fun day for him. Great service and reasonably priced! Thanks so much to you and Jo. Nic, Steve &, Eamonn - March 2009

Hi Robyn, the service provided by BBW was prompt, thorough and spot on for a holidaying couple like ourselves. Kate was excellent with lauren, bringing armfulls of books each night and texting us once our child was asleep. Cheers Sarah - Jan 2009

Thanks Robyn - we had the best time.... and are up again late October for another wedding, I'll be sure to contact you closer to then to re-book. Thanks again for your help. Lucy - March 2009

We were up in Byron for a wedding and had our 3mth old baby with us. Kate was our babysitter for the evening and she was fantastic. Being only 3mths, our son was pretty low maintenance, but it is always hard leaving a young baby with a stranger. However, after Kate arrived, we felt totally comfortable leaving him with her. The fact that she texted us during the evening to tell us that he'd been fed and gone back to sleep no problem, made us feel even better.   We really appreciated the text. I would have no hesitation recommending BYRON BABE WATCH, and in particular KATE, to anyone considering using them. They were great!   Laura - March 2009

Hi Robyn, thankyou so much for sending Emily to us on Friday evening. My children absolutely loved her, and we found her to be a loving warm lady. In fact when Piper woke in the morning she constantly bragged about how she went to bed when Emily asked her too. She never does this for me, is Emily available for sleep times every night??? Piper also asked on Saturday night if Daddy and I could go out again so Emily could come back.......we were tempted! Thankyou again, we will definitely use your service and Emily again. Rebecca - March 2009

Hi   Robyn, We had a great time, we were very happy with the babysitting service, Kate was lovely and very professional, Sonny really liked her.   We felt extremely comfortable and will definitely use your service again. We holiday in Byron every few months. Thanks Michelle - March 2009

We were recommended BYRON BABE WATCH when we decided to get married in Byron Bay and Robyn and her team of excellent sitters lived up to their recommendation. Robyn was able to organise sitters for all our wedding guests that had children as well as some short notice requests. My friends and family mentioned how lovely each babysitter was and felt that they had left their kiddies in safe, capable hands. I would not hesitate to recommend BYRON BABE WATCH or calling Robyn again next time we are in Byron. Claire - Feb 2009

Hi Robyn, We had another fabulous holiday in Byron and plan to come back soon! Kate was perfect and Eva really enjoyed spending time with her, there was no real problem with separation.   So a big thank you to yourself and Kate. Nat - March 2009

Hi Robyn, Thanks for sending us such a good babysitter on Saturday night. The kids said that Jo was really nice and would love her to babysit them again. We will be in contact with you if we ever need a babysitter while in the area. Thanks again. Iona - April 2009

Hi Robyn, just wanted to let you know how wonderful Emily was with the kids, Maddie especially loved her and really enjoyed the time she spent with her. Wonderful service and will recommend to any friends who visit the area. Thanks heaps, Kath - April 2009

Hi Robyn, Petrina was absolutely fantastic. The whole night was very trouble free, thanks so much. Marea - April 2009

Hi Robyn, Thankyou very much for the service that you provide. Both Kate and Petrina were excellent. I felt very comfortable leaving my children and all of my nieces and nephews with them for the evening. I look forward to being able to use your services again when we next visit Byron. Thanks again, Carla - April 2009

Hi Robyn, Ursula and Emily were fantastic and in all accounts, had the kids entertained from the minute they stepped onto the property. Mothers were given some repreive and I hardly saw my 2 children - Jessica came up to me mid meal to say she was tired and was going off to bed...... no crying or anything which was such a relief, and my 6 month was very well taken care of. I didnt have to settle him which was something I was geared up to having to do. I hope the girls enjoyed their time as well and they they were looked after with regards to food, drinks etc. I shall certainlly be using your service again when we come down to Nyron. Thank you again, Emma - May 2009

Hi Robyn, Melinda's wedding was just perfect - the venue, BLUE WATER ON THE BEACH, brilliant! Mel was going to get married on the beach, and as you know it was washed away the week before we arrived, so the caretaker offered the lawns overlooking the Bay for the wedding ceremony. The day was warm and sunny, no wind and just delightful. We certainly appreciated your wonderful service, it was very reassuring to know Kai, and later Rebecca, were being cared for by such a caring and competent person in Kate. She was prompt and happy to help Katrina with the children and knowing she had a police clearance was very reassuring for all of us. We could relax and party away at the FIG TREE knowing they were in good hands. Kai woke up when Katrina brought Rebecca back for bed and Kate managed him and kept him happy - not an easy task in some one else's place and holiday accommodation at that. Even though he would not go back to bed until Katrina arrived back at about 11pm, she arrived to find Kai happy, Rebecca asleep and both children safe. Please pass on our thanks to Kate, and a BIG THANKYOU for providing such a good service for your visitors. Sincerely Christine, Adelaide.

Thankyou, Jane was wonderful as usual, thankyou again. Suni - Qld July 2009

HI Robyn, I was really happy with my babysitter, Linda. She was very confident in the way she cared for my little girl, seemed to know exactly what was the best thing to do - walks, parks, beach. Alice loved it! There were no tears. Thanks so much, kindest regards Karen - Writers Festival - August 2009

THANKYOU BYRON BABE WATCH for making it so easy for us to enjoy our night out and be safe in the knowledge that our little ones were being cared for by a caring and professional babysitter. Kate arrived right on time and was lovely with the children as they were going to bed. Great service from start to finish. Sally - Sydney August 2009

Hi Robyn, Thanks so much for arranging Jane. She was great with the kids both nights. Kate Ballina - August 2009

Hi Robyn, we had a lovely time in Byron - I didn't want to go home! I was quite nervous about using a babysitting agency, as my baby Maddison is only 7.5mths old and I have never left her with a babysitter that I didn't know. However, Petrina made me feel very comfortable as soon as she arrived. She was professional and wasn't worried at all when I asked her if she would mind giving the baby a late night feed. She is a mother of 4 children so is quite used to looking after small babies. I was able to relax and enjoy the evening knowing that Maddison was in good hands. Thank you so much, kind regards, Joanna  - Sept 2009

Hi Robyn, Lesley was fantastic - we were extremely comfortable in leaving our little boy in the capable care of Lesley and wish we could have stayed longer in  beautiful Byron to use Lesley's services again. Regards Merryn - Sept 2009

Hi Robyn, we really enjoyed our time up there and  had a great time at the wedding. Having spent 30 minutes or so chatting and getting to know Kate we felt very relaxed about leaving Maya with her. Kate was punctual and more than happy to follow Maya's routine to make her feel comfortable whilst we were out. Kate took Maya to the park for the afternoon and it sounds like they had a great time. We arrived home late that night to find Maya in bed having gone down without a fuss (and having not stirred since) which indicated she felt secure with Kate. Being confident about who is minding your child and their experience and skills makes your event so much more enjoyable! Tanya - Sept 2009

Robyn, we had a lovely day, thankyou, and I am sure all the parents of the little ones appreciated having a break for the weddings celebrations, Cheers, Jo wedding Figtree - Sept 2009

We found Kate to be a fantastic babysitter for our 7mth old baby boy, She is incredible professional, capable, naturally caring and calm and had no troubles following his routine. We were very comfortable leaving our first born child with Kate and would highly recommend her to our friends. This made our holiday even more enjoyable knowing our little boy was safe and happy with her. Thankyou Kate. Romy - Sept 2009

Hi Robyn, thank you so much for organising Emily for us. She was a great help and very patient with a baby that was suffering from major seperation anxiety!! Will be in touch next time which hopefully will be sooner rather than later - we had such a fantastic holiday. Anna - Sept 2009

Hi Robyn, Thank you so much for organising Petrina to look after Sophie and Tom. As with a lot of your clients, it was the first time we had ever left our children with someone other than a friend or family member. Petrina engaged them so well that our youngest didn't even cry when we left, which is unheard of, and I had actually been really dreading and very nervous about leaving to the sounds of him crying and yelling "mumma, mumma"! We felt very confident leaving the children once we had met Petrina and didn't even feel the need to telephone during the evening to check that all was ok. Thanks, Sharlene - Sept 2009

Dear Robyn, I would just like to say how fantastic Kate was and how much my children loved being with her. My youngest child James (3) always has a mini tantrum when we leave him with anyone other than his grandparents and I don't think he even turned to wave goodbye to me. The bubbles Kate brought to our house was a massive hit and I even managed to spend time getting ready for a luncheon without James hanging off my leg. I would definitely love to use your babysitting services whenever I am in Byron Bay. My only regret is that your aren't in Adelaide! Thankyou for making everything fuss free, easy and for providing peace of mind at every step. I just asked James if he wanted to say anything to Kate. His response just now was "I love you.... thankyou@. Thanks again. Michelle - Oct 2009

Hi Robyn, we could not have been happier with your service and we will definitely be calling you again. You were responsive and friendly and the sitter (Kate) was fabulous. Thanks again! Kirsten October 2009

Hi Robyn, all ran smoothly for us - we had a lovely wedding in Byron Bay greatly facilitated by having Petrina to take care of Sam for 2 consecutive nights. Thanks so much for helping us to arrange childcare at such short notice. Kind regards, Katy - October 2009

Hi Robyn, the babysitting was excellent, Jane came armed with books and stories and Thomas loved her. I will definitely use you when in the Byron area next and recommed your service to friends. Regards, Anabel - October 2009

Robyn, we thought Jane was great and looked after our girls well, regards Newman family - October 2009

Hi Robyn, Petrina was just lovely, she made our kids feel comfortable which  meant we also felt comfortable leaving them in her care. They loved her. We will recommend your service and hope to get back to Byron to use it again soon. Cheers Julia - October 2009

Hi Robyn, I would like to thank you for the great experience I had with your company. Zac has never been left with anyone other than family and I was quite nervous booking someone I didn't know and never met. Jane was our babysitter and my son was so excited to meet her. I was amazed with how well equipped your staff are, Jane turned up with a bag which had puzzles, games, paper planes, colouring in and DVD's. I was also impressed that she took my son out for dinner, he hasn't stopped raving about where they went for dinner, in fact all he asked me to do was take him back there! Furthermore I would like to congratulate you on such  fine service, I had constant contact with you since I made my booking in March. Not many companies provide that service any more and I have to say that has left a lasting impression on me. It also made me feel confident in using your service. I look forward to calling on you again when I revisit Byron Bay and will recommed your company to all my family and friends. Bianca - October 2009

Dear Robyn, Thankyou so much for your Baby Sitting Service. We have never used babysitters before, so it was a new thing for all of us, although I didn't actually meet Linda, (my husband was there to meet and greet), my eldest daughter, Sidney had nothing but great things to say about her, including that Linda made her favourite dinner of squiggly wiggly pasta!! It was a positive experience for all of us, and I reallly like the idea of more mature women giving the service. Thankyou, Kylie - October 2009

Dear Robyn, Jane was delightful and I was so happy when she arrived with games and puzzles for Oscar. They instantly hit it off. We will definitely use your services next time we are in Byron. Many thanks, Nicolette - November 2009

Hi Robyn - we had a wonderful time in Byron Bay and were very happy with your service. We used Byron Babe Watch to look after our 2 young children when we travelled to Byron Bay for a family wedding. We were thrilled with the service - efficient, responsive and professional! Our carer, Linda, was simply wonderful with the kids and we were able to enjoy the wedding festivities with great peace of mind. We would highly recommend this service to anyone looking for safe, reliable and experienced carers for their little treasures! We hope to visit Byron Bay again in the future - its fabulous! Kind regards Jo and Graham Perth WA - November 2009

Hi Robyn, Thankyou! The wedding was wonderful as was our stay in Byron Bay, it went so fast, but we all had a lovely day and holiday with our family and friends. We will definately use your service again, thanks for opening up the house and waiting for us to arrive. Thanks again, Victoria - December 2009

Hi Robyn, we were extremely impressed with your service and the kids absolutely loved Kate. In fact we asked her if she did weekend trips to Brisbane!!!! We will not hesitate to call on you again when visiting Byron! Regards Chere - December 2009

TESTIMONIALS - 2008

Everyone was very impressed with both Lesley and Shelley and we look forward to using either of them again when we're next in Byron. Thanks for your help - Bruce and Michelle - Blues Festival Easter 2008.

Hi Robyn, We had a great holiday thanks. Shelley was fantastic. In fact we have never had a better babysitter. Thanks, Geoff and Michelle - Blues Festival Easter 2008.

Thanks Robyn for organising Petrina for us. She was extremely nice and we will recommend her and you to our friends. We will return in Januray next year and so will no doubt be in touch again! Regards Kate - January 2008.

Thanks Robyn. Kate was definitely one of the best babysitters I've ever had. Such a nice woman, professional, accommodating.....and the kids loved her! She made our holiday. Skye - Blues Festival Easter 2008.

Jane babysat for us over Easter. I wanted to tell you that she did a great job, was prompt and my son really enjoyed her company. She brought materials from home to keep him busy, and took him swimming. Thank you. I can recommend your service. Kind regards Joan New Zealand. - Blues Festival Easter 2008.

Hi Robyn, I used your babysitting service during our stay at Byron Bay in April this year and we had Shelley look after our baby. I wish to let you know how wonderful she was -she came prepared (ballons, bubbles and books) which was marvellous because we were not in our home environment and didn't have many toys in the apartment. Shelley appears calm and controlled which is very reassuring for the parent, I felt so comfortable throughout the night. I came back to a tidy and clean house, my dishes put away, baby's dinner eaten and her milk bottle washed. All I had to do was go to bed! Its a very rare experience for me and it was just splendid to simply put it. We have had babysitters before in Melbourne, I wasn't expecting this at all.... I guess I have to raise my standards..... a lot! I have recommended ALL my friends your service who intend to go to Byron Bay. Most importantly, it has made our trip so memorable and easy.... and made us want to come back. Thank you so much and please convey our best wishes to Shelley. Cheers Liana and Phil - April 2008.

Robyn, I'm not sure where you source your sitters, but they are of an exceptional standard. We arrived in Byron Bay without having booked a sitter during the last school holidays, therefore we had to basically take the hours we could get, but you managed to fit us in, swap sitters around and suit out needs perfectly. We had 3 different sitters, the thought of swapping and changing wasn't exactly what we wanted, however,   we had   the 3 most wonderful ladies who all brought different things for the kids each day. The children were wanting to stay longer so they could meet some of   the other sitters on your books too so they could have even more fun! The nannies/babysitters we use in Sydney are not anywhere near as kind hearted, warm and friendly as yours. What a great business you have. My wife and I had a wonderful holiday, thankyou, Michael and Nicole   - April 2008.

We were exceptionally happy, as per always, with the service you provided on the day of our wedding, we had Kate and linda who looked after 7 toddlers........and we shall recommend your agency to anyone who ever visits Byron Bay. Thankyou again, regards Zoe - August 2008.

I had a family wedding to go to in Byron Bay - with 3 small children including a baby and all my family going to the wedding I was going to have to use a babysitting service for the first time. I found BYRON BABE WATCH on the internet and called and spoke to Robyn. I instantly felt confident and at ease, not only with professionalism and constant contact, but just a general warmth from another mother. My sister also used the service, we were allocated 2 lovely confident ladies who the children were at ease with instantly, which was great as they had never been left with someone they don't know. We were able to walk out the door knowing that the children were in wonderful care. The night went smoothly, the children were happy and we had a great night out. I would, and have, recommended BYRON BABE WATCH to friends and family. Us parents deserve to go out and have some fun!  Natasha - Oct 2008.

Hi Robyn, thankyou for your efficient, friendly and prompt service which allowed my husband and I to enjoy two nights out in Byron Bay. Regards Sophie - Oct 2008.

Robyn, Thanks so much for your effort. BYRON BABE WATCH is definitely NO 1!!! - Nick 2008.

Thank you very much for organising linda for us. Your service is exceptional and it's really nice to know that my kids were in excellent hands. linda came prepared with drawings, bubbles and DVD's and knew just what to do when it was time for my husband and I to leave. I returned to a tidy apartment and would recommend your service to anyone visiting Byron Bay. Thanks again.  Narelle - Oct 2008.

Hi Robyn, Thanks so much for the babysitting service! linda was fantastic with the kids. I'll be in touch next time we are in Byron. Kim - Nov 2008.

Hi Robyn, We absolutely loved Byron Bay and were able to relax and enjoy the wedding thanks to our wonderful babysitter Ursula. I was lucky to spend half hour with her before we went to the wedding and as you assured me, she was fantastic. She had a lovely, kind and gentle nature which really put this mothers insecurities to rest. Please pass on our gratitude and thank you again for all your help in making it possible for us to attend our cousins wedding. I don't know what I was worrying for and are more than happy to let other worried mothers out there know that they should take the plunge, hire a babysitter and have great night Out Thanks again Robyn and Ursula. Sue, Rod, Jo and Nick -   Oct 2008.

Hi Robyn, I was very impressed with Linda. Linda was on time and very professional, Oliver loved her too. If we come up to Byron again and need a babysitter I will give you a call. Cheers Rebecca - Nov 2008.

Hello Robyn, whole service was spot on - fabulous!! Loved the regular contact - loved the babysitter (Petrina)- my only comment is that it was a bit expensive - $20 per hour. Cheers Wendy - Dec 2008. Comment from Robyn at Byron Babe Watch - all sitters are experienced/qualified, they have police checks, working with children, prohibited person checks, all have current senior 1st aid certificates, and all siiters have public liability insurance - all these are mandatory requirements by law in NSW to work with children. $20 per hour is less that the cost of a bottle of wine!! We consider our price to be reasonable, in fact we feel we are undercharging for the responsibility we undertake. NO offence to the author of the posting on our testimonial site.
