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.

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.
