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.

Our daughter had a great time with Sharon while we got a much needed break! Our daughter was really happy with Sharon and Sharon kept us updated with what they were up to. I'd definitely recommend Mini Amigos to anyone looking for day or nighttime babysitting whilst on holiday.

We’ve just returned from our family holiday to Gran Melia in Tenerife and just wanted to say how wonderful Jill and Carol were. They both babysat in the evenings for our 14 month old daughter and we felt she was in great hands. Jill was extremely helpful and reassuring before we even met and during our stay, was in regular contact. 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.
