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’
