we were lucky to have Sharda and Evelyn to look after our kids (3 and 6 years old) while staying at Corales Royal hideaway. They both were incredibly professional, friendly with our children (who are very shy and not easy to open up with people they dont know). As a result we all enjoyed our holidays, kids were looking forward to seeing their sitter in late afternoon - they did a lot of great activities while we were able to have time without kids for couple of hours a day. What I also really appreciated is the communication : they sent regular updates which was reassuring. Highly recommend mini amigos! many thanks for making our holidays real holidays!

This is the second time we have used Mini Amigos - and I can't recommend the team enough! We booked Antonia to look after both our girls (age 4 1/2 and 15m), for 3 mornings and 2 evenings. She took both girls to the hotel Kids Club, and played with them non-stop there. In fact, after she finished, I had one of the team members come up to me and say she was so impressed with how attentive and involved Antonia was with the kids. She said she sees a lot of nanny’s and they’re usually always not that focused on the kids. And in the evenings, we got the girls ready and Antonia took them to the buffet for us, made sure they had a good dinner, and then even took them to the Mini Disco so we could really enjoy an adult-only evening!

Me and partner stayed in Club Tenerife for 10 days, we booked them from 2 nights Sunday and Monday my partners’ birthday. You will not regret it, we had Evelyn the first night, she was amazing with the kids, kept us up to date of how they where, on Monday we had Jill OMG I wish I could just keep her, she is just fab, when we got home she hasn’t only fed the kids but they where happily in bed, thank you Jill, will use the service again and again and again

We have just come home from a fantastic Holiday in Tenerife and one of the best parts was Jill. Going away with 2 small children is tough and you rarely find time for yourself so we decided to book Jill for 4 evenings so we could spend some time together and I am so glad we did. I was a little nervous at first as my children are 3 and 18 months but Jill was great. My children loved her and settled so well for her, she text to let me know when they were asleep so I could relax and enjoy the evening. We even had Yvonne for the last evening as Jill was unable to make all 4 nights and she was just as lovely! I have recommended this company to all of my friends - It was so nice to feel like you had left your children with a friend rather than a stranger. Thank you so much :-)

Hi Jill, We just wanted to write to thank you and say how delighted we were with the help we had from Antonia during our holiday. Rory had a wonderful time with her each morning and we felt completely comfortable leaving him with her. It was so nice to know he was busy enjoying himself on the beach, at soft play or in the Kid’s Club while we were also able to have some time to relax and enjoy our holiday. We did wish we could bring her home with us! Many thanks for all your help in organising this for us, we will be sure to be in touch for any future trips to Tenerife. Best wishes, Sara

We used the services of Mini Amigos in October. We were assigned Sharron as our nanny and she was fantastic from start to finish. Sharron helped us every day for 2.5 to 4 hours by looking after our 13 month old baby boy, Archie. This meant that so we could spend time relaxing and focussing on our 6 year old son, Harry. Sharron also babysat for us for two evenings so that we could go out for dinner. Sharron was brilliant with our little boy and he really adored her. She played with him, fed him and took him to the kids club everyday and ensured he got an afternoon nap in his pram. Sharron really did make our holiday perfect. If I could have taken her home with me I would have!! I will definitely be using Sharron and the Mini Amigos service next time we're in Tenerife.

Great experience using mini amigos whilst staying in Tenerife - Karen was prompt, friendly, down to earth, and had various tricks up her sleeve to help transition our daughter over to the babysitting. We would happily use again

I used miniamigos during my week of holdiay in july 2022. The nany that took care of my 5 years old son was absolutely peerfect! My son was only speaking French and the Nany not, but it was not an issue at all, and they spent time at swimming pool and play games. My son was rely happy and after the care was finished told me "When will the english Nany that doesn't speak french will come back? I want her to keep me again!", it was very nice!! Thanks for the nice service!

Our children found Nanny Sharda to be very welcoming and kind and made us feel comfortable from the first meeting. Sharda contacted us as soon as the flight landed, she was professional and also flexible with our needs. It has been a wonderful experience, my husband and I finally got a well needed break, the children were able to play games all day and do all the things they wanted and they both already miss the wonderful time they had with Sharda. Thank you again for the wonderful service and providing such a lovely Nanny to help us truly enjoy our holiday. We are looking forward to returning again next year.

We’ve used Mini Amigos’s the last couple of times that we’ve visited Tenerife and I have to say that I would definitely recommend Mini Amigos. Sharron has been our nanny on both occasions and is fantastic with our daughter, in fact she looks forward to Tenerife because of seeing Sharron. I completely trust Sharron to look after our daughter and they do all sorts together, kids club, swimming, chilling with a book - anything that Sasha wants to do really! Sharron always keeps us up to date with pictures of what they’re up to and we really appreciate that it gives us the opportunity to relax and have some ‘us’ time while on holiday too. We will definitely be using Mini Amigos again!

Please accept my very belated review from October (!) when Antonia did a fantastic job of looking after our almost 2 year old. He was immediately at ease and happy to go off on adventures with Antonia straight away! She took great care of him, always punctual, and made sure he had a full and fun time. I have since recommended mini amigos to friends and family who are heading to Tenerife, and will definitely call you again when we come back! Best wishes, Rachel

Wow, Becky is just incredible. From the moment she arrived with her big bag of games, my kids (11, 9 and 7) were absolutely enthralled with her. Kids that age can be hard to please! They loved their evening with her and were so excited for us to have another night out so that Becky could come back again. Needless to say, myself and my husband had two wonderful nights out because we were so confident that the kids were in good hands and completely happy. Becky also gave us brilliant advice for Siam Park, giving us insights that I hadn't seen anywhere else. We have been recommending Mini Amigos to anybody travelling to Tenerife.

We recently spent a week in Tenerife where Becky looked after our 3 year old every morning for 2.5 hours. Firstly, Becky was always on time, made everything very easy and straight away was clearly really trustworthy and reliable. Every morning our son greeted her with a big grin and hug and was clearly very happy to go off with her. She took him swimming and did a huge array of activities which kept him engaged, entertained and happy. Knowing he was happy, entertained and very well looked after every morning gave us that time to relax and enjoy a break. Highly recommend Becky

The wonderful Becky spent three weeks with us in Tenerife helping out with our toddler Max and little baby Charlie. Becky was amazing! Our holiday would not have been the same without her. She is a bubbly, enthusiastic, extremely professional and experienced nanny who put in 100% effort the entire time. She bonded with max instantly and had him laughing within minutes. Max is just beginning to talk, but his words are hard to decipher and Becky was able to understand and communicate with Max perfectly. She took max to the beach and swimming pool most days as he loves to be active but was also on hand to look after Charlie if I wanted to swap things around. Becky cooked Max’s dinner everyday and showered him and put him to bed, paying close attention to the routine we had in place for him. I felt completely at ease with Becky in the apartment and also completely trusted her to take the children off, knowing they were in safe hands. Although fun was important to Becky, safety was obviously a priority. She was very aware of making sure sun cream was applied sufficiently and shade was sought for baby Charlie at all times. Thank you so much Becky for your hard work! We hope to see you again! Katie and Jon

We had the lovely Antonia that looked after our 21 month year old daughter, so we could go scuba diving over two separate days. Antonia was amazing with Sierra, as we were a little cautious leaving our daughter but she was in loving hands, with Antonia the expert. She was laughing and having an amazing time at the park and swimming in the pool, and Antonia certainly wore her out. She was all smiles and super happy the second day Antonia turned up. Would highly recommend this service and we would definitely use the service again. Thank you once again Antonia.

I employed Becky for 10 days to look after my 10 year old son while I was working in Tenerife. Firstly, I had contacted previous parents of children Becky had looked after and the response was over whelmingly positive. I work long hours and Becky was incredibly accommodating and understanding. She took my son out on hiking trips, beaches and Siam Park. She is very active, personable, helpful and punctual. Nothing was ever a problem, she and my son got along very well. I have no hesitation in recommending Becky and would employ her again in an instant. Tessa

We contacted Jill ahead of our holiday to see if she could organise someone to help out with our 18 month old son while my husband was teleworking and i was taking care of my 7 week year old son for several hours a day. Immediately i received a warm reply and and we had a great conversation to reassure me about their services. We stayed in the Villa Maria and it was wonderful, while i was with the baby, Becky went round the kids pool, club and playground with my very energetic toddler. From my garden i could hear him enjoy himself and laughing. We were very happy to have her take care of him and his English even though he only spoke Dutch improved so quickly! Thank you Jill for also babysitting our little Joshua when we went out for dinners. We will be very happy to return next years with both kids.

We have just returned home following a two week stay in Tenerife. During our stay we used Mini Amigos to help sort out childcare. Jill was fantastic at responding to our enquiry and fixed us up with the wonderful Antonia. Antonia was terrific - we left her in sole charge of our six month old daughter every day so that we could take our older two children (aged 5 and 3) to the sea/pool and on longer day trips. Antonia gave our daughter fantastic care: she is wonderfully calm, extremely kind, and obviously very experienced. The holiday was a huge success, largely due to Antonia's help and hard work. Our older two children also really liked her and were particularly happy when she was babysitting. We cannot wait to come back!

Thank you Jill for looking after our son Bobby (6 months) 2 times during our stay in Tenerife. Last minute we asked you if you had time to babysit the next day and you responded immediately and helped us. You are experienced, energetic and we immediately felt that Bobby was in good hands. Thanks for everything and next time we will definitely book through Mini Amigos again! Kind regards, Christian Ros Lighting Designer

I cannot recommend mini amigos highly enough! I was really nervous about leaving my 10 month old with a stranger abroad but I really didn’t need to be. I was persuaded to book by seeing such amazing reviews, particularly one by someone I know so took the plunge and booked two nights of baby sitting while we were in Tenerife. Jill was quick to respond and sent over all her documents promptly, which I found really reassuring. Communication was fantastic and she messaged the day before to check we were still ok to go ahead. Jill arrived a few minutes early and text me to let me know she was outside so as not to wake the baby! We had a discussion about all my little girls needs if she woke up and off we went and had a lovely meal and a few cocktails! On the second night, my daughter had a danger nap on the way back from the jungle park 🤦‍♀️ and wouldn’t go to sleep as normal at 7pm. Jill was lovely, said she was happy to play with her until she was tired and immediately engaged her with her toys. She barely looked up when we said goodbye! Jill kept in touch and text regularly to let me know when she was asleep and that all was well. This meant I could really relax and be safe in the knowledge all was ok. We are lucky enough to own an apartment in los cristianos and come to Tenerife regularly. I can’t tell you how happy we are to have found a reliable service that we will use time and time again! Thanks so much Jill, those chilled evenings were just what we needed xxx

We have recently returned from costa adeje and were lucky enough to have used Sharron our nanny for 3 evenings. Sharron instantly made a connection with our 6 year old son and he always looked forward to seeing her and asking if Sharron was putting him to bed again! We were able to have 3 meals out kid free which is a rarity with a 5 month old. Sharron kept us updated while we were out and was able to resettle our 5 month old easily when he woke one evening. We will be back to tenerife and looking to use Jill and Sharrons services without hesitation.

Thank you so much Antonia for your incredible help with our little boy (8-10 months old) during our 2 months stay in beautiful Tenerife. Your experience is golden and you are so talented and passionate about the babies. Hugo absolutely loved spending time with you! He developed incredibly and learnt crawling (hurray!) We're so lucky and grateful we have found you. We will miss you and your amazing energy so much! Hopefully we will come back soon and meet you again! To all Mamas - Antonia is wonderful, don't hesitate to book her immediately!

After a difficult year we decided to go ahead with our trip to Tenerife, primarily because we knew we would be able to have a break thanks to the excellent childcare afforded by Jill and her team. On a previous trip 2 years ago Jill had given us such personalised care and we were so happy knowing that our son, then aged 2 was being entertained and having the best time. Even in the months leading up to the holiday, Jill was on hand via WhatsApp giving us advice, contacting the hotel for us and putting us at ease. On the holiday itself, Sharron was our nanny. Our 3.5 year old was so excited to see her every day, knowing that he would have the best morning in the kids club, playing mini golf or going to the beach. She was warm, punctual and experienced. We felt so at ease with her. We then brought my 10 month old to join them after her nap and it gave us some much needed time off. She would make sure that they were both fed and happy. My baby giggled with delight every time she saw Sharron and she very much became part of the family on holiday. In such troubling times it was a breath of fresh air to be able to have Jill, Sharron and the team with us. We would never go back to Tenerife with young children without them again!

Antonia looked after our daughter (age 4) and son (age five months) during our recent trip Tenerife and was fantastic with them both. She kept them both entertained and happy and gave us complete peace of mind and a break! We would thoroughly recommend Antonia and Mini Amigos.

I found mini amigos online by searching for childcare in Tenerife. Leaving our daughter with a stranger was obviously a bit daunting but I felt comfortable having read other parents comments. I didn’t need to worry, Jill was brilliant at communicating and following our daughters routine, our daughter was clearly very comfortable and happy in Jill’s care. If you are not sure, go for it, it was our best time as a family since our daughter was born, we felt like we actually had time to relax and enjoy ourselves but also enjoy real quality time together as a family. Thank you Jill, we will be back ?

Thank you so much for making our sons holiday enjoyable! Antonia was fabulous with our 10 month old son from day one. She took him out, played with him, fed him well and tired him out so he slept through the night and looked forward to seeing her every day. I wish we we could take Antonia home with us! We will definitely use again when we're back!

I would have no hesitation in recommending Jill and her team. From first point of contact, we were struck by how organised Jill was she shared her local knowledge with us details and information on the surrounding areas. In addition she also clearly laid out her availability and prior commitments and on the morning she was not able to join us another member of her team Madeline came an entertained out children Madeline bought bread to feed the ducks and age appropriate toys in order to keep the children entertained. Jill is kind, patient and loving, she is skilled with young children. We have Two young children ages 18 months and 34 months. We felt our children were in safe hands nurtured and well cared for, they looked forward to seeing Jill for a “play date“ in the mornings and in the evenings she came to take care of them. We have had the benefit of Jill’s help on two separate trips to Tenerife and both times the care received was first class. Having Jills help certainly meant that we where able to have a restful and enjoyable holiday. We look forward to our return trip to Tenerife and plan on using mini amigos again.

We’ve just returned from our family holiday to Gran Melia in Tenerife and just wanted to say how wonderful Jill and Carol were.

We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Mini Amigos to others and will be using them on a future trip ourselves. Thanks Hannah

I first met Jill on holiday at the Baobab Suites this March while in their Kids Club. I was with my 2.5 yr old and Jill was looking after a little boy of a similar age. I was really impressed with how she played and interacted with him and with how at ease he was in her company. I started to think how lovely it would be to be able to have someone look after my little girl for a few hours everyday so that I could have some proper time to relax whilst knowing that she was occupied and happy. I got chatting with the little boys parents over the course of the holiday and they were really happy to be using Mini Amigos. In October we returned to the same Hotel and this time I booked Jill in advance to look after our little one and also at times our 12 year old too. We had a selection of morning, afternoon and evening sessions, Jill was flexible and our girls had fun with her. It made a huge difference to our holiday as we were able to relax, read books, have adult meals out and spend quality time alone with just our 12 year old. It worked out really well for us as a family.

We would like to give our feedback regarding Elizabeth, a very kind scottish women who did a great babysitting job with our children Maximilian and Samuel. We booked Elizabeth almost for a week to be able to sped a little bit time as a couple during our holidays. We have two boys who have a lot of energy and without Elizabeth we wouldn’t have the opportunity to have also our relaxing moments. She is a really great and warm person, was every time very punctual and flexible. The kids loved her and they didn’t have any problems to go to bed with her as we wanted to have a couple dinner. Usually our kids are not allowing another person to bring him to bed but with Elizabeth they didn’t have any issues. Also at the kids club where she stayed with both a couple of times they were also very happy with here. We warmly recommend her and would book her again any time.

Antonia looked after our 18 month old son Alex for 2.5 hours every morning and afternoon (and one evening). Made for a much needed break for us and Alex took to her very quickly, by the end of the week putting his arms out for her. She took him to the pool, soft play and mini club, and gave him such a fun time, he thrived on it all and loved his holiday. I’m so pleased I found mini amigos and Antonia.

We have just spent a fabulous week with Antonia from Mini Amigos helping to look after our two munchkins (aged 22 months and 5 months). Antonia was an absolute pleasure to have around and cared for our children as though they were our own. Nothing was too much trouble and she happily assisted us with potty training our toddler and weaning our baby. With her help we were able to do things like brave Siam water park as a family and take the children out individually so they both had one on one time with me and my husband. I cannot recommend Antonia enough and heartily wish to thank her for all her help. We will certainly be in touch if we come to Tenerife again!

I would highly recommend Mini Amigos for a nanny service in Tenerife, I wish all holiday destinations had Mini Amigos, to make the process so easy. Booking and organising was professional and our nanny Sharon was caring towards our 2 boys ages 5 and 1. Sharon would happily go along with what the boys wanted to do. This allowed my husband and I to enjoy the adults side of the hotel and few nights out. When we return to Tenerife I have no doubt we will use this service again.

We have just got back from our first trip to Tenerife and cannot thank Jill enough for her contribution to making our trip so special. We have finally managed to come home from a holiday feeling like we had a holiday! Jill took care of our 3 and 5 year old on a few days as well as accompaning us to Siam Park so my husband and I could ride the flumes whilst the boys enjoyed the kids areas with Jill. She also babysitted for us. From the first contact through to meeting the boys to the final goodbye we were just so impressed. Jill was very capable and professional and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and her team to everyone. We are looking forward to returning and seeing her again and I know our boys will be too.

Not having used a babysitter previously for our 21 month old in the UK we were it’s fair to say a tad nervous about the prospect of someone else looking after our daughter whilst abroad. Glad to report that we can wholeheartedly recommend Mini Amigos as the most fantastic service. The reassurance received from the initial phone call and the high standards and professionalism throughout were exceptional. Jill who looked after our daughter could not have been more friendly, flexible to our needs, experienced and quickly relieved any fears we might have held. It was so nice to have the same person every night and allowed us some lovely evenings together and to make the most of the evenings rather than being stuck inside a hotel room. Can’t endorse Mini Amigos enough and will be sure to use again if we come back to Tenerife.

Thank you again to the wonderful Mini Amigos! We used this fantastic babysitting service last year and were so impressed that we booked them again this year when we returned for a weeks holiday in Tenerife. It was great to meet lovely Jill and we felt very lucky to have her looking after our toddler, Lily. We felt very happy and confident leaving Lily and knew she was in very safe hands. Despite waking up a few times, Jill got her back to sleep without any dramas! We would recommend Mini Amigos whole heartedly to anyone looking for a professional, friendly and highly experienced babysitting service. Last year we had Sharron - she was great too - and it was lovely to see her again on our last evening. Can’t recommend them enough! Thank you Jill and Sharron.

We spent a week in Tenerife at the end of February. It was our first holiday abroad with our 9 month old daughter and we asked Jill to look after her for two mornings and three evenings. Jill was fantastic and our daughter took to her straight away, very much enjoying her two mornings in the Baobab Suites Kids Club whilst my husband and I had a few relaxing hours to ourselves. Having seen Jill’s interaction with our daughter during the day, we were very happy to leave Lily with her during the evening and thoroughly enjoyed our evenings out. It was very easy to get in touch with Jill and when our holiday didn’t quite end as planned due to a nasty stomach bug and we had to cancel our final evening’s babysitting at short notice, Jill was supportive and concerned, and checked how we were feeling once we had returned to the UK. Should we go back to Tenerife, we will definitely be getting in touch with Jill again, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for childcare on Tenerife.

We had a wonderful experience with Jill from Mini Amigos while our stay at Gran Melia Hotel in Tenerife. Our 2-year-old son long after she left was asking for her and also repeating 'cheeky-monkey' as Jill called him:) We are also extremely grateful for her flexibility - we asked her to take care of our son with very short notice. She agreed although she had to rearrange her own plans. Thank you!

Jill looked after our two girls (aged 2, and 4 months) for a few hours on most days of our stay in Tenerife, and it absolutely made our holiday. We had a mix of mornings and afternoons to ourselves, and even a couple of evenings out without a push-chair: a rare treat! For the kids - Jill was great with our girls; we always felt they were in good hands, and the eldest seemed to have enjoyed lots of different activities: she is still talking about it a week later! Jill covered play-times, nap-times and some evenings for us and always seemed to have it all running smoothly. This was way more than "just" a baby-sitting service: Jill made a real effort to get to know the girls, play with them, make sure they had their naps etc.; she even brought them a bag of toys and books for their stay which was very thoughtful, and really helpful as we hadn't flown out with all that much. Really happy with the quality and attention that went into looking after the little ones. They had a great time. For the parents - Jill was so helpful from the outset, even giving us hotel and restaurant recommendations to help plan the holiday. Once we got to Tenerife, Jill was great at communicating, flexible with days & times and always in touch when need be to tell us how the kids were getting on - a perfect score for making life as easy as possible for us during our stay: we really felt we had the best care possible for the girls, and the most flexible service we could have asked for on our part. I absolutely would not hesitate to recommend Jill and her team to anyone visiting Tenerife - it really made our holiday (to the point where we'd probably pick Tenerife over other short-haul destinations!). Thanks so much for your help.

We were recommended by friends to contact Jill on our first visit to Tenerife. We wanted a babysitter to ensure some relaxing baby-free evenings and we were honoured to have Jill sit for us herself. She was efficient and professional in her emails and I was surprised and very impressed to receive all her qualifications and accreditations in advance of our booking. She was absolutely lovely when we met her and was kind enough to lend us a baby monitor which we really appreciated. She sent regular messages on the (thankfully) sleeping babies throughout the evening which allowed us to relax and enjoy our dinner. We would definitely use again and would recommend to others.

Well where do Start....From the 1st moment of contact, Jill was prompt, professional and reassuring. We stayed at Bahia del Duque and wanted some adult only time in the days and evenings. Originally we only booked a few hours a day as we didn't know how our daughter would take to a nanny. We had an amazing lady called Sharron, and our daughter loved her immediately. She even cried at the end of each day when she had to go home. We ended up having Sharron all day and most evenings, and we feel we have met friends for life with both Jill and Sharon. I would highly highly recommend this company and would never use anyone else. Super professional and all questions 0answered before we even asked! This company is of an extremely high standard and it certainly shows. All sharrons documents were sent to us with our booking email without us even asking. I cannot thank you enough and we can't wait to see you again in a few months when we return, then year after year. Ps: Isabella keeps crying for you Sharron ?.

We've just come back from a stay at the Abama and i couldn't recommend Jill and her team enough! With two little ones, we wanted a couple of "grown-up" dinners and Jill and Sharron both babysat for us. I instantly knew we were in good hands, and felt very comfortable leaving my 2 year old and 7 month old baby with them. We get texts during the evening to let us know that everything was ok, and it meant that my husband and I could really relax knowing the kids were fast asleep! Jill is very warm and caring, i also met her in the kids club and saw how affectionally she was looking after two of her charge...next time i wouldn't hesitate to leave my kids with her during the day as well! Thanks for making our trip extra relaxing. PS i also needed some more nappies during our stay which Jill kindly arranged - again, one less thing to have to think about!

We got in touch with Jill following recommendations from friends who had previously used her services at the Abama and she did not disappoint! From the initial enquiry we made, Jill was charming, helpful and very quick at responding. She helped give us advice and information about the hotel and was able to secure us dates for a babysitter straight away. She even arrange to buy nappies and wipes for us and have them delivered to the hotel the day of arrival! Our babysitter Sharron, was wonderful and came to meet us and our 2 year old son within a few hours of us arriving at the hotel, we instantly felt comfortable with her an so did our son. Sharron babysat most evening for us and although our son didn't wake up, it was very important for me to feel comfortable leaving him with someone who I trusted would look after him. She is a kind and caring nanny and I honestly cannot thank her enough for her help while we were on holiday which allowed my husband and I some time to relax! The thought of leaving your children while on holiday is a scary one and can be very hard for people to do but I really cannot recommend mini amigos enough. We had a great time at the Abama and we will definitely be using Jill and her team again!

My family and I attended a ten year family reunion in Tenerife this past August and we used Mini Amigos Childcare for our week long stay. We could not be more pleased with the service! My sister and I have three children each of various ages, and we hired several nannies from Amigos Childcare who went above and beyond to cover everything we needed. Nanny Sharon was native english spoken and was flexible, understanding, and overall just AMAZING with our kids. They took them on walks at the property, to the kids club, for lunch at nearby restaurants, and handled nap time, allowing us the time we needed to connect with our adult family members and catch up. I highly recommend Mini Amigos to anyone looking for trustworthy, dependable and activity filled childcare while in Tenerife.

Thank you for the wonderful Sharron who had my 3 year-old smitten within minutes. He usually moans when the babysitter arrives but just said 'OK' when we said we were going out. Sharron looked after our 3 month old two afternoons and both children for two evenings. So capable and reliable - arriving early and sending us updates for reassurance. We were so confident in her experience that we left the Resort the second evening for a long walk near the beach. Mini Amigos also changed things around so we could have Sharron for all babysitting to help our children with continuity -much appreciated and no reservations in recommending them!

Mini Amigos has been a game changer for us - from the easy and prompt communication with Jill to the warm and lovely care of Sharron, it's been absolutely fantastic and we got to have a real holiday :) thanks ladies x

A great service from Jill and the team. Both babysitters we had during our stay at the Ritz Carlton were fantastic. The children were instantly at ease with Sue. The flexibility was fanastic with the children leading where they wanted to go, including the pool, beach or the bar entertainment, rather than feeling that they were restricted to kids club or our rooms. We will be returning and we will contact Mini Amigos again for their services!

From the first contact you can tell Mini Amigos is a fabulous company. Jill was genuinely lovely and put us massively at ease in looking after our 6 month old son, so much so that we booked her for an extra night (and would have been more if we’d had any holiday left!) She would be part of the reason for us to return to Tenerife and we’d wholly recommend her. Thank you Jill ☺️

Just wanted to Thankyou for giving us the lovely Sarah Jane whilst we were staying at the abama in Tenerife. She really was absolutely fantastic with the kids. My kids even asked for her when we got home!!! Sarah Jane made our holiday lovely for us all. Thanks for providing us with such a lovely nanny. She literally did everything they wanted to do with her and made it lots of fun! We would definitely use mini amigos again!!

We booked a nanny to look after our two children aged 5 and 2 in the evenings, whilst we went out for dinner, and Jill was marvellous! The girls instantly warmed to her and Jill was kind and engaging. She bought different books to read each evening, which my eldest thought was great. We were able to have relaxing evenings knowing the children were in safe hands. I would highly recommend Mini Amigos.

I absolutely recommend Mini Amigos. Jill looked after my 2 children during our holiday and she was excellent. We booked her for during the daytime and evenings and my kids instantly loved her. She bought books, toys, a film to watch and they couldn’t have been happier. A 5* nanny and service! Thank you- we are already planning our dates for next year ?

I would highly recommend Mini Amigos. I was a little nervous about using a childminding service for the first time abroad with two young lively children but the service and attention to detail was impeccable. Teresa was outgoing, caring and a pleasure to be with helping me in particular at SIAM PARK whilst I went on some of the more dangerous adult rides!!! Next time we are on the island we will definitely be in contact!!

We have just returned from a wonderful week at the Ritz Carlton and can’t thank mini amigos enough for their fabulous Nanny service. Jill was very helpful in the run up to the holiday and arranged for Sharron to look after our two boys at various intervals throughout the week. Sharron was absolutely wonderful with the children and they adored her, so much so, that they both cried when they had to say goodbye to her. Within minutes of meeting Sharron, I felt very confident that they were in brilliant hands. Thank you so much Sharron, you helped to make our holiday extra special! We can’t wait to come back and see you again next year.

We've just got back from a great week at the Gran Melia. I found Mini Amigos through facebook and was a little apprehensive about booking as our eldest can be clingy but I didn't need to worry. Sarah Jane looked around our 4 year old and 22 month old for a few mornings and evenings. She was incredibly welcoming and friendly and the children immediately warmed to her. They had a brilliant time and lots of fun! I would really recommend Mini Amigos - Jill and Sarah Jane were fantastic and we would definitely use Sarah Jane again.

I wanted to give you a positive feedback regarding Sarahjane and your service . In total, we used her service 3.5 days at the Hotel Gran Melia because the kids/baby club was not up to our wishes. Sarahjane was always punctual with a smiling and positive attitude. She got along great with the kids and did alot of activities (park, pool, kids club, nap, etc). She also kept us informed proactively though whatsapp 2-3 times a day which we appreciated. We would highly recommend her and your fast service to anyone. Wish you a pleasant week-end. Michael

Thank you Jill for your great support! Jill took care of our 10 months old baby boy during our holiday at Ritz Carlton and he had a great time with her. Jill also brought us some toys that she left all week long, great idea! Grazie Jill per il tuo prezioso supporto con il nostro bambino di 10 mesi, sicuramente contatteremo ancora Mini Amigos per la nostra prossima vacanza a Tenerife!

Jill and Laura completely made our holiday which would never have been so relaxing without their expert, accommodating and easy-going Service. Our daughter has become a bit shy of strangers but took to both Jill and Laura almost immediately and seemed to have the best week with them. They were enthusiastic and quick to understand (not getting things wrong or asking millions of questions) so that the transfer was incredibly smooth and easy. They were also always fun and kind with our daughter. I felt 100% relaxed in handing our 17 month old over to their care and was so impressed that Jill even brought age suitable toys over for savannah to play with. Mini amigos even supplied nappies so we didn’t have to bring boxes over. A perfect service, well done! Makes going to Tenerife again on holiday infinitely more likely than any other comparable destination!

What an excellent babysitting service! Thank you so much Jill for co-ordinating it all. We’ve just come back from a weeks holiday and used Miniamigos in the evenings whilst we went out for dinner. Sharron was fantastic - really warm and accommodating, even brought us a bag of toys for Lily to play with during our time here. Lily woke up a couple of times but Sharron got her back to sleep in minutes! A really professional service, we felt very happy to leave Lily in such capable hands. Thank you very much! We will definitely use you again!

We are just back from our holiday in Tenerife and had the pleasure of Jill taking care of our daughter Elara for the two weeks we were there.. Where do I start to explain how wonderful Jill was !! From the first day we met, our little girl Elara loved her, and she even waved us off happily by the second day. Jill is brilliant at her job and really made me feel comfortable leaving Elara, for the very time with anyone. She is really professional, friendly and helpful in anyway. She left toys and books for Elara to play with for the hotel room, such a great help!! she took Elara every morning to play and came most evenings to babysit in the room, she also put Elara to bed a few nights so we could go for dinner alone.. such a blessing and give us some quality time as a couple! And she even give me nappies when I ran out for the last few days. She really couldnt of been any more helpful and kind. Elara and Jill created a lovely bond throughout the time we had here .. We will miss her at home!! Thank you Jill for being so very wonderful, making our first holiday as a family extra special and being a truly lovely person. We will definitely be using you again and every year in the future

From the first moment we made contact with Jill, Mini Amigos were brilliant! Laura Bee babysat for us on two occasions at the Ritz Carlton Abama and she was wonderful with the children. She has a really natural, kind manner which put us all at ease. We hope to use Mini Amigos when we return to Tenerife in the future. Thanks Laura and Jill for helping make our holiday so special!

Jilly was totally amazing with our two and four year old boys. They played, swam, went for lunch/dinner and she even put them to bed which not even my husband can do! The children saw her for a couple of hours a time over the period of a week. Great flexibility - totally recommend. Thanks Jilly

We visted Spain in Dec and had a wonderful time, it was the first time we had left our 2.5 year old with anyone other than family during the day. Sharron was amazing, super sweet and helpful and our daughter Amelia still talks about Auntie Sharron. Jill was super responsive leading into the booking and amazingly accommodating. We are excited to come back and use Mini Amigos again !!!

We used Mini Amigos while staying at the Abama resort. Jill was very professional and prompt when we were enquiring and booking and our babysitter Amanda was wonderful. A very nice and warm lady who made our 5 month old baby beam smiling when they met! She arrived early and stayed later than we had planned and gave us very reassuring texts throughout the evening so we could fully relax knowing all was well and baby was asleep. Amanda clearly has loads of experience with young babies and I felt very comfortable leaving our little girl in her care. I couldn’t recommend mini amigos highly enough and found them so professional, experienced and affordable.

We stayed at the Abama for a week in half term with our 3 year old son. Both Jill and Laura were amazing with him - Laura babysat for us in the evenings and Jill looked after him in the daytime a few times also. He can be very shy with new people but he warmed to both Laura and Jill very quickly and always seemed to have had a fun morning with Jill, giving us some much needed rest time! Both Jill and Laura brought him toys and books to play with and read which I thought was really thoughtful and definitely helped him to settle with them. We booked fairly last minute as well so was very impressed with Mini Amigos and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and use them again next time we are in Tenerife!

We would not hesitate in recommending Mini Amigos. Jill responded promptly to our initial enquiry and our babysitters, Laura and Sue, were both professional, trustworthy and most importantly our children were very happy to be left with them. Laura babysat for us on 3 evenings during our week stay so we could sample the variety of restaurants our hotel offered allowing our little ones to get some much needed early nights and Sue babysat one afternoon so we could go to the spa. We have already recommended Mini Amigos to our friends and will definitely be using them when we next come to Tenerife

We spent half term in abama, Tenerife with our 3 and 5 year old. As our youngest is not old enough to be left at the kids club we used Amanda from Miniamigos to help us out. Amanda is British (a very lovely northern lady!!) - she is great fun, polite, was on time - in fact early and ready to go each time. She arrived (sometimes at the room or pool/ restaurants) with a bag of puzzles and was well prepared for the afternoon. We ended up asking Amanda to look after our children a few times and in the evening managed to have a couple of date nights. She kept me informed on WhatsApp with how they were doing and sent a few photos of all their adventures at the end of the week. We highly rate Amanda - the children loved her. She made our holiday even more relaxing knowing they were safe and having fun. Liz and iain’

We used Jill twice while we were staying for a week, both times for baby sitting in the evening. We found Jill great to deal with, really responsive and super helpful. Our son took to her really well, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone in the future.

I've been to tenerife many times over the years , tho this was the first as a mum to a 5mth old. Jill from Mini Amigos has been a star she arranged baby equipment such as a cot , portable high chair , and variety of toys and books as well as nappies and baby wipes all delivered to our apartment. Thus making our holiday home from home. Very important with a baby and of course saved draining our luggage allowance with baby stuff. Her company Mini Amigos also offers childcare /babysitting and all her girls are qualified nannies who have dbs & first aid so you can rest assured that your child/ren will be well looked after This meant her dad and I could go out for a meal and drinks and relax knowing our baby daughter was safe and well looked after - who also adored Jill and smiled every time she saw her I have no hesitation in recommending Jill and I'm sure everyone of her team is just as caring and professional as Jill was. We are coming back in May and will be using the services of mini amigos again

I just wanted to say a big thank you to the lovely Sarah Jane for looking after our two children 6 and 2.5. Both kids were very excited to see Sarah Jane each day and she made us feel very comfortable leaving them with her. Also Thanking Jill for arriving with a MASSIVE bag of toys which kept my little boy entertained for hours !! We would have absolutely no hesitation in using Jill's childcare again.

We recently stayed at the Sheraton in Costa Adeje. Laura and Jill babysat for our 20 month old daughter on three nights and everything went really well. Jill was very helpful and organised, and both Laura and Jill were lovely. We didn't need any daytime babysitting on this trip but I would have felt very happy leaving our daughter with Jill or Laura during the day. It was a great experience and I would definitely recommend!

We booked Jill and then through Jill, Sharon, to look after our 2.5 year old, May, in the evenings. Admittedly May was asleep but both Jill and Sharon made us feel very comfortable about the prospect of her waking up - we knew she'd be in very safe and experienced hands. Both sitters arrived promptly each night and as our main contact, Jill went out of her way to go above and beyond - even picking up an unusual ingredient for us before we'd arrived. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jill or Sharon to anyone looking for peace of mind whilst having 'me' / 'couple' time on their holiday. Thanks both of you!

So if you've got as far as reading these reviews then you must be contemplating getting some help with your kids while you're on holiday. Please do it!! Yes, it's a luxury but wow it was amazing. Jill was unbelievable with our little boy (Dylan was almost 2) and he adored her from day 1. Nothing was too much trouble and she mixed things up to keep him entertained. My husband and I had a couple of hours each day to spend just the two of us and made it a proper holiday for us too. I can't thank Jill enough for giving us the relaxing, worry free break that we needed. She helped us by buying nappies for us so we didn't have to lug them in the suitcase or go shopping as soon as we arrived. She also babysat for us in the evenings so we could unwind without worrying if he was going to wake up in his buggy in the middle of dinner. We had a fantastic holiday and Jill helped make that possible. I would obviously highly recommend her and judging by her standards I'm sure the rest of her team are excellent.

This is a review from a different perspective as I am a nanny too and lived in Tenerife foe 6.5 years. From the first year I was working alongside Jill on a regular basis and she really is amazing!! Nothing is ever too much for Jill. She is a fantastic team leader and it was a great pleasure to work with her for the years I was on the island. It is clear from the get go the passion and enthusiasm she has working with children and she is confident in every situation and the children just adore her. As a result, Jill has families returning year after year and book her way in advance so they make sure she has availability. So, if you are looking for 5*+++ childcare in Tenerife.... you have found them!!! They will even go show shopping for you so you don't have to bring so much with you when you travel!!! Now there's an unbeatable service!!!!! Highly, highly recommended!!

I would like to thank mini amigos for their service. My husband and I had a lovely evening knowing my children were being looked after by the lovely Laura she was very profesional and she came with lots of fun games (my 2,6 & 8 year old loved her) I felt very reassured by her benevolence. I highly recommend them.

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jill and her team to anyone. Jill is incredibly kind and caring, while also being very efficient and professional, right from the very first emails we had with her. Jill and Louise played and swam with our 4 year old girl and also were great with our 8 month old baby. We always felt totally comfortable leaving them with them, and our daughter loved playing with them. We met Jill, Sharon and Louise during our stay at the Abama and thought they stood out in terms of their caring approach. They deserve to be very busy!

We have just come back from a week's holiday at the Abama Tenerife. Jill and Louise took care of our 5 month old baby and our friends baby of 15 months. They looked after them during the evenings and a few afternoons. They were absolutely fantastic. They were caring and trustworthy and they really made our holiday a restful break. Nothing was too much for them and they were flexible and accommodating if we had to change or add any hours in. She even went to get things that we needed from the supermarket. We would only come back to the Abama if we could have Jill and Louise again.

Absolutely recommended! We felt very comfortable leaving our two year old daughter in the hands of Jill for a few hours every day during our week long stay at Abama. Always on time and with a big smile on her face. Leaving your kid with a stranger has never felt so safe! We will definitively come back and use these services again and recommend Jill to anyone who is looking for a babysitter who is warm, caring and very pleasant to cooperate with.

We just came back from a week in Tenerife with friends. Both of us have a son (5 months) and 15 months. Between Jil and Louise the boys were babysat for every evening and looked after every other afternoon. We instantly knew that the boys were in wonderful hands as the older one was so happy spending time with Jil and Louise, who would take him for a nice walk and spend time in the kids club too. The amazing service meant that we could relax for a few hours as adults and enjoy our holiday too. I would highly highly recommend Jil and Louise and knowing they are ther would encourage me to go back to Tenerife next year! They went above and beyond xxx

We had a one week holiday in Tenerife last week (18 to 25 March) and had Jill taking care of our 1.5 year old daughter for 3 mornings, 2 full days and 1 evening. I can't recommend her enough! She is absolutely fantastic! Reliable, trustworthy, with lots of experience with children and super helpful. Isabel can be difficult sometimes as she doesn't "get friendly "easily but she liked Jill instantly and they got along so well. She is definitely missing her friend now! (Also, it is worth mentioning that Jill brings some nice toys for children to play with - which I think it's brilliant)

Jill was a wonderful nanny to our one year old son during our week in Tenerife. She brought lots of fun toys for him to play with and our son was happy to spend time with her from the moment they met. Jill was always punctual, professional and has a lovely, sunny personality. She even bought us extra supplies when needed (food, nappies etc) which saved us the hassle. We would definitely rebook with Jill and she made our holiday even more relaxing than we had hoped!

We just got back from a week at Ritz-Carlton Abama in Tenerife. We got help from Jill to take care of our soon-to-be 2 year old son for two afternoons/evenings. Jill did a great job under somewhat tricky cirumstances since our soon was a bit grumby. Jill was calm, professional, showed experience, very safe hands and just had a very nice and loving way of taking care of our son. I will definately call Jill again when we come back.

We recently spent a week at the Abama hotel with our 11 month old baby son. Jill babysat for our son for 3 nights and was absolutely fantastic. She settled our son when he woke, and updated me by text message during the evening to reassure me that he was okay. She also went out of her way to buy us a bib (as I lost ours). I I would highly recommend Jill and will definitely be in touch with her next time we go to Tenerife.

We just returned from a week of vacation at Ritz-Carlton Abama in Tenerife. We asked Jill to take care of our 13-month old boy during four afternoons and two evenings and everything went perfectly well! Paul really enjoyed his time with her and it was even hard for him to let her go once we came back from our afternoons! I didn't have to bother about bringing a lot of toys to keep him busy and Jill brought some and left them during the week. She even went shopping for baby food, nappies, etc. so we didn't have to worry about this and found everything we asked for in our room on our arrival. Jill is a very reliable person and I'm very happy that we found her for our week. We plan on going back to Tenerife in March and we will definitely call her again!

We've just returned from our family holiday and i just wanted to thank Jill and the team at Mini Amigos for making it extra special! Jill took care of our two children (2 and a half and nearly 1) for a couple of afternoons as well as a couple of evenings, allowing us some time to actually relax on our holiday! The children warmed to her straight away and so did we. She kept them entertained with brilliant games and activities and they even settled better for her at bedtime than they do for us at home! We can't thank you enough and we will definitely be rebooking for our next holiday, the children can't wait to see Aunty Jill again!
