We had a great holiday. I was in desperate need of some 'me time' after 9 months of dedicated Mummy time with Lucas. Jay was lovely. It certainly made it a lot easier for me, as a first time Mum, leaving my baby smiling and happily giving Joanna cuddles as I left the chalet!!

Wendy Richardson – March 2011

Thanks Ellie - J was absolutely great with Flora and we would be delighted to use her next year so will be in touch in due course!

Emily McDonald – March 2011

Alice was great and was an integral part of making our holiday more relaxing. Her flexibility was a godsend and when we needed her to stay on a bit longer or do additional hours or days she did so without hesitation. Liam was very satisfied and enjoyed his outings with her to go "fishing" or sledding. Both Sam and I were able to enjoy skiing for the best part of the day without having to worry about Liam being bored. He is still talking about his days "snowboarding" (ie sledding) down the mountain and he is keen to go on a ski holiday again, which is good news for us!

Bill & Sam Sidwell – March 2011

I just wanted to write and let you know how impressed we were with our nanny last week. She was excellent with all of the children, especially our daughter, Stella, and arranged so many fun activities. We were able to enjoy our skiing time so much more because we were confident that Stella was having a great time as well. We wanted to take her home with us!

Catherine Ellis – March 2011

Viktoria was wonderfull my daughter Beatrice clearly loved her as did all our chalet and we would highly recommend her to others. Thankyou again!

Elly Weed – Feb 2011

Just wanted to say that Joanna was brilliant with the kids and they had a great time with her. She is extremely competent and helped make our holiday very enjoyable.

Anita Boswell – Feb 2011

We all really liked Wiktoria. She was very friendly and engaged with the children right away. She had lots of energy for the little boys and great craft ideas for the girls. It was a terrific week for all of us. Thanks!

Mikaela Zollosi – Feb 2011

Finding Baby Cham was a life saver. Our nanny, was a god send. I didn't need to worry about how skilled she was as Baby Cham had already done all that. The girls just loved spending time doing craft and cooking, sledding and going for walks and train rides. It allowed us to have some time to go skiing together and to have some 'us' time...a rare treat. Also being able to rent equipment instead of dragging it across the world was FANTASTIC. I highly recommend Baby Cham for your next holiday. "

Alice Villela – Feb 2011

Just wanted to say thanks again for introducing us to Petra. As she may have told you, our 2 year old developed tonsilitis while we were there and he wasn't really himself, which probably made Petra's job harder. Petra was execellent in so many ways - keeping him happy as well as looking after his little brother. They were both very comfortable with her as too were we. Please pass on our thanks again to Petra from us and the boys! It's always a worry when you are in a different country and need to find child care for a few hours, but thankfully it was one aspect of holiday that turned out perfect. I'd have no hesitation in recommending Petra and Babycham to anyone else worried about finding child care while on holiday. Many thanks again,

Tim, Alison and boys! - Feb 2011

Dear Ellie and Pete,
We are just back from our trip and I just wanted to say how fantastic Joanna was. I really can’t thank you enough. Our daughter absolutely adored her and knowing that Zoe was in such capable hands made the whole trip much more enjoyable for everyone. Joanna is a real find and I would have no hesitation in recommending her to other clients with young children

Julie – Feb 2011

Dear Ellie and Pete, Just a quick thanks to the fantastic Eva for her care of our baby Michael during our holiday in Chamonix. Eva is a very caring and capable minder whom I felt very comfortable leaving my baby with. She even sang Michael off to sleep!! Thanks again,

Tara Eife – Jan 2011

I would like to give some feedback on Petra as she deserves a glowing report. From day one she was extremely professional, explaining how she would work and her responsibilities as a representative of Baby-Cham. Both girls loved her and I immediately felt extremely comfortable leaving Beatrice with her. Even when I had to leave her crying, I knew that Petra would be exceptionally calm and loving with her and this made a world of difference to my peace of mind on our holiday. She was both flexible and considerate, ensuring that I was made aware of any issues at the chalet (we had a number of things go wrong) without worrying me or making me think I had to go back and save her. She followed Beatrice's routine without question and ensured that she slept and ate at the right times, whilst using her experience to determine if either needed to happen sooner. Because John was so ill, we were at the chalet more than we had intended to be but Petra remained discreet, professional and blended in to our family wonderfully.
I especially appreciated how helpful and proactive she was and always seemed to be a step ahead of what I might have needed for the children next.
I would highly recommend Petra to another family and think she is an excellent ambassador for Baby-Cham; we were extremely sad to say goodbye to her on her last day with us! Thank you very much for a great service.

Claire Woyton – Jan 2011

I just wanted to say thank you very much for setting us up with *****. She was really great and made us feel totally at ease so we could enjoy ourselves without having to worry.

Thank you for providing all the details we needed and replying so promptly to all my enquiries.

If we ever come back to Chamonix then we will definitely be in touch again and we will be warmly recommending you to all our friends and acquaintances.

Tamara Shiner – June 2010

Just a brief note to let you know how pleased we were with the help you both provided. She got on very well with our children and was wonderfully flexible when it came to dealing with our changing plans/requests.

Thank you for your help.

Elizabeth Pring – April 2010

Thank you for your email and for finding ***** for us, she was wonderful! We were very fortunate to have great ski conditions during our short stay in Chamonix and it was a real treat for us to enjoy them knowing that Eric was in such capable hands.

I hope you enjoy the remainder of the ski season and we will be sure to recommend your services to any friends traveling to Chamonix in the future.

Megan & Chris Horte – March 2010

Thanks for organising ***** for us. She was certainly a big hit with Haydn! It made our sure that our skiiing holiday was a very enjoyable one.

I would certainly recommend your services.

Mark West – March 2010

Both Jess and Kelly were absolutely fantastic and we will definitely be in touch for next season!

Rachel Cross – March 2010

We have just returned from a fabulous week in Chamonix and I just wanted to let you know that Vicky was excellent. She bonded very quickly with the girls, and made things very easy for us. I would highly recommend her to any one else who is looking for a very competent pair of hands whose main aim is to make the holiday fun for the children and life easy for mum!

Rachel Kemp – march 2010

Thanks for the help on getting a baby sitter. She turned out better than one could wish for:)

Johanna Wallenius – March 2010

We were really happy with ****** the baby sitter you recommended for us, both my daughter and my friend's son were happy to spend their mornings with her which meant we could go skiing without any worries. Heather was really friendly and seems to have a way with babies and toddlers.

Thanks again Ellie

Nadia Tarelli – February 2010

Jess was such a lovely nanny. Thank you for everything.

Marisa Bucknall – February 2010

Just wanted to drop you a quick line to say 'thank you' to you, for Vicky, she has been really fantastic with Olivia's children.

Can we please have her back at Easter?

Olivia Crozier – February 2010

Thanks Ellie - great service as ever. (Returining client for the past 4 years)

Will Jackson Moore – February 2010

Dear Ellinor, just wanted to let you know that we all - girls and myself, thought Rebecca was lovely. Really helpful, kind and fun.

Julia Landes – February 2010

Thanks Ellie, Jess is fantastic and has worked out so well for us! We are loving our time in Cham and are skiing like maniacs all the time. Hope all good with you.

David & Gayle Pitcairn – February 2010

We were delighted with Isabella who looked after Beatrix, our 9 month old baby daughter.

After employing Isabella for a week we found her to be exactly as you described; well presented, friendly, confident, with excellent spoken english and most importantly, very capable. The feedback from our chalet staff matched our own perceptions; Isabella was a wonderful carer who got on very well with Beatrix.

It made such a difference to our holiday; being able to ski knowing that Beatrix was in safe hands. Thank you for your help. We will certainly contact you again when we are back in Chamonix.

Matthew Ansell - Jan 2010

Just wanted to send our thanks on to ***** via you for her help yesterday. She did a fantastic job and our clients were extremely pleased with her. The little boy, Peter, asked if she could stay and look after him more so thats a great sign!

Tom and Emily – January 2010

We used BabyCham for our skiing holiday with our 3 children aged 7,5 and a 4 month old baby. Vicky was a friendly, professional and experienced nanny and our children took to her immediately. We would certainly use her again. When Vicky was ill one day, Ellie was able to get another wonderful nanny to us within a couple of hours allowing us to continue with our holiday and get the other children to ski school as planned! A great service – many thanks.

Rob Shand - www.totstotravel.co.uk - January 2010

She was fantastic - she arrived bang on time and just got on with helping us to look after the 3 babies. She didn't get flustered by them, fitted in with us and our schedules, and we were all very sorry to say goodbye at the end of the stay. What a lovely girl.

Jo Hegarty – January 2010

"Dear Ellie

I have just returned from our holiday at Chalet le Marti in Chamonix (12th - 19th April) and wanted to immediately drop you a little note.

*****, the nanny you organised, was absolutely fabulous with our daugher Blathnaid (and in keeping Granny occupied) and as a result my husband Andrew and I had one of the most relaxing, stress free holidays we have had since having children!

Please pass on our sincere and warmest thanks to ***** - she is a real asset to your business and I have no hesitation in rebooking - indeed, I think we will seriously consider returning to Chamonix, as much for *****'s services as for the skiing! Very many thanks"

Jennie (April 2009)

"***** was great and I have recommended her and Baby-Cham to friends who travel to Chamonix and my brother and sister in law will, I am sure, also recommend you to visitores."

Wanda

"Yes, we were very happy with the service the girls gave on our wedding day - the parents too were delighted by the idea of enjoying a glass or two without a small hobgoblin hanging onto theirs skirts!! Andrea, Daisy and ***** did a great job, and yes I would always recommend them."

Thanks again

Mrs Ellis

" Andrea was absolutely fantastic, I couldn't have asked for anything better. She was prompt, kind, flexible and very reassuring. Thank her very much from the keene family."

Fiona Keene (June 2008)

" Thanks for the email. We thought Martina was great, very relaxed and natural around the children which is great as it makes them feel so much more comfortable (and me). I had three wonderful days skiing as the children were well looked after, so thank you. We would definately use her again. Oh yes she also recommended some good places to eat!."

Jess Muddle (April 2008)

"Just to say how pleased we were with your service and with Sara. She was terrific and as you can see, we used her more than we originally planned as the kids were so comfortable and happy with her! So thanks for that... and we have recommended your services to other mums and dads too!."

Elizabeth Campbell (April 2008)

"We were very happy with Andrea - Cameron really liked her and she was excellent with him. It was a great bonus that she could be flexible with start times and I was more than happy leaving him with her. Please pass on our thanks and happy to put on your website. We really enjoyed Chamonix and hope to return again soon. Thanks again for your help."

Lisa Kerr (March 2008)

"We were very happy with the service offered by Klara. She was very professional, punctual and resourceful. The children really liked her. We would use your services again and recommend you to our friends."

Vicky Hodges (March 2008)

"Diana was excellent, a really lovely person who was flexiable and chilled."

Eric Allen (March 2008)

"Thank you, Ellie. I wanted to let you know that Sara was wonderful! We hope to see her again when we're back in Chamonix!."

Colleen Quinn (February 2008)

" We were pleased with Sara. She was reliable, flexible, hardworking and easy to have around. Both children felt at ease with her very quickly. Thank you for supplying such a good nanny and a high standard of service at short notice during a busy time of year. We will certainly keep you in mind for future holidays in the mountains.

Thanks again for your help.."

Cathy Nash (February 2008)

"Very happy with the service - Dianna was a star - she was polite and enthusiastic and our 3 year old really took to her

No complaints at all - hang onto to her if you can she is a gem.

Thanks for your help - will gladly recommend you guys to any others who are coming to Chamonix ."

John Gannon (February 2008)

"We were completely delighted with Laura, and also your Baby-Cham service was fabulous. My wife and I were very pleased with the thorough process of finding a great sitter for our son -- he enthusiastically said "Laura can baby-sit me anytime!"

Otherwise, no particular feedback, your web site was helpful and your email communiques were perfect for us.."

Tim Davies (February 2008)

"Karen was extremely experienced of working with children of all ages and Robbie took to her very quickly. She was able to take him out about in the village so he wasn't couped up in the chalet all day, and even helped him build his first snowman! Karen was imaginative in her activities and on the second day Robbie barely turned around to say goodbye as he splashed away in a tub of soapy water.
| We very much look forward to using Baby-Cham's services again in the future: the "grown-up" time we spent together on the mountain knowing our son was in capable hands was invaluable!."

Louise Gemmil (January 2008)

"Dear Baby-cham.com. Thank you so much for looking after both ours and our friends children through January. It has been wondeful to come home laughing from great skiing and find happy children. Martina has been fabulous and so flexible to cover any needs we may have had. We look forwards to seeing you again soon."

Alisdair & Gergana Mc Dougall (January 2008)

"Thank you Ellie - we were both delighted with the sitter but more importantly the boys loved her and had a great time. I have recommended your service to lots of friends. Cheers "

Mary Pettet (January 2008)

"Ellie and Pete,
Thank you very much for arranging our sitter, Karen, for the week. She was fantastic with the kids and they just adored her! We will definitely be back. With kind regards and many thanks."

Louise Voss (December 2007)

"Charlotte was really fantastic, very flexible and reliable as well as good fun, particularly as my daughter was not being at all cooperative! Had a great holiday thanks to her and the Evolution 2 ski instructor Daisy had who also had the patience of a saint. Hope you have a good season, we will be back at Easter and may well require your services again then. Will let you know as soon as we fix our dates."

Jackie Ruddle (December 2007)

"Both Jim, Richard Janie and myself were very impressed with the services that Babycham provided. A**** was absolutely fantastic and George absolutely loved her. In fact, he still talks about her now and how they made snowmen etc. Not only was A**** an absolute darling for George, Molly and Charlie, but she was also extremely helpful with regards to sorting us adults out, especially with buses, lifts, best places to go etc. She was a mine of information and such a lovely charming girl as well. We all miss her.

If we return to Chamonix, we shall surely be booking A***** again. Please give her our love and best wishes."

Penny and Jim McEwan (January 07)

"Honestly, the service was excellent. I did not have to worry at all. I felt very comfortable with L****, and really at ease being away...

Thanks for having such an accessible service."

Brita Wall (March '07)

"N**** was an amazing baby sitter. She always arrived promptly, even when the weather was prohibitive. She did a great job with Josh, keeping him occupied in a strange place. She followed the schedule we gave her closely and even did a great job preparing meals for him. We would absolutely use N**** again if we come back to Chamonix!

Thanks again for your help! You made a great vacation possible!"

Sarah Schlechter (January 07)

"Thank you so much for organising L*** to look after our children last week in Chalet Louisa. We had a marvellous time and the kids loved L***. I know one child was a crier but Lucy didn’t let that phase her, well not to let it show anyway."

Karen Hall - (March 07)

"We had a fantastic experience with Baby-Cham - A**** was our sitter and I couldn't have trusted her more with our 3.5 and 1.5 year old boys. She was always bright, cheerful and used her initiative when playing with the boys to make sure they were happy. She was always punctual and flexible with her time. We would definitely use Baby-Cham again."
