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 so much to Jill for making our holiday so enjoyable and relaxing, knowing that our toddler was in safe hands and having the best time. She arrived promptly every day and immediately struck up a close relationship with my son. She was very happy to give him prepared snacks and entertain him in different parts of the hotel. Nothing was too much trouble for her. She also babysat one evening allowing us to have a night out knowing our child was in safe hands. It made our holiday so much more rewarding. She was so easy to communicate with in the lead up to the holiday, with very prompt and helpful replies. We will definitely be using mini amigos on our next trip to tenerife in future!

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 will definitely use Mini Amigos again next time we are in Tenerife. As soon as we met Cath our babysitter we knew we were leaving our children in safe hands. She was very professional and approachable, and with her kind and friendly demeanour the children took to her immediately Thanks for looking after them with such care Cath!

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 and her team were absolutely fantastic. Our babysitter Sharron was great and watched our 18 month old son 4 nights of our holiday and allowed us some much needed relaxing, adult time! Communication was great, and we felt completely comfortable leaving our son with Sharron! Would absolutely recommend the service and can’t wait to use again when we return to Tenerife! Thank you all!

Thank you to Jill and the team for making our holiday an actual holiday where we were able to fully relax! Our nanny Sharon was fantastic and managed to make it look easy taking care of our 6 month old twins. We were also grateful for her flexibility and helpfulness. Looking forward to repeating it again next year!!!

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.
