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.

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.

I really would like to thank Jill! she is wonderfull. we came to Tenerife for a wedding and i contacted Jill a few months before the wedding. although our house was in north-tenerife, she made it work. they came the day before to meet the girls. they were lovely with all the girls, played with them, made them feel comfortable. at the day itself, they updated us on the kids with pictures and messages. because of you we could really enjoy the wedding because we knew the girls were in good hands. thanks again and whenever we are back in Tenerife we will contact you again!

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
