Auntie Katies

We booked Auntie Katie's for our March 2024 wedding for our 2 boys (Aged 2 & 3) for the 24 hour package.
From the moment the boys met Katie, they felt at ease and it was like they had always known her. The youngest boy was very upset and overwhelmed at the beginning with the new surroundings and all the people but Katie was able to make him feel at ease and happier straight away. He was clung to her for the rest of the day, Katie had a great way of making them feel happy. The whole day, Katie knew where the kids needed to be, for the ceremony, the pictures etc. When the kids were upset or overwhelmed Katie brought them for a walk or back to the room for some down time.
For the photos, Katie worked some magic and had the kids looking at the camera and smiling, we were calling herself and the photographer the dream team with the kids photos.
There wasn't one person at the wedding that didn't ask about Katie or mention how amazing she was with the kids. A lot of people asked for her details which we happily passed on.
It was honestly the best decision we made regarding the wedding to book the babysitting service for the full day and night. Katie kept us updated on what was going on with the kids throughout the day. Everyone was able to enjoy the day including the kids which meant the world to us.
Without hesitation I would highly recommend Auntie Katie's and I think it should be at the top of the list for any wedding with kids.

Shannon looked after our 5month old baby for the evening of the wedding. She was excellent and our girl was happy in her care.

Carol Anne was amazing!!!! She was so full of energy. She was so prepared for every eventuality (I forgot lots of things and her reply No problem I'll work around it and she did). There were 3 or 4 other babysitters at the wedding (not from Auntie Katies) and Carol Anne was by far the most professional and prepared. Lots of other guests commented on how amazing she was. She was minding 5 boys aged 10 to 3 and they all loved her. The 3 year old keeps asking to stay In the hotel with Carol Anne again.

We would highly highly recommend Auntie Katies (especially Carol Anne). We had no worries at all during the wedding.

Auntie Katie was with us on our wedding day and that night. What can I say. Can we keep her was our 1st thought when we woke up the morning after our wedding. Auntie Katie came to my house the morning of our wedding and I don?t know what she did but the kids gravitated straight to her. We have a 2 1/2 year old, my nieces 2 & 3 were also there. All I could hear was laughing singing and giggling and it filled my heart with such joy knowing the kids were happy. Having our son with us on our wedding day was so important to us but we were also aware that it was going to be a long day for him and not once did I hear a cry come out of his mouth. He gave us kisses good night and when we met them at breakfast the next morning he was up in Auntie Katie?s arms and didn?t want to come back to us ????. I cannot put into words what an amazing person Katie is and the service she provides is worth its wait in gold.

Katie was so good with the 3 kids, they took to her straight away and even though 1 was sick that eve, she was well able to mind them all. We highly recommend.

Dawn was our Sitter the day of our wedding . But we felt she was more like another member of our family . We have 2 little girls ages 4 & 1 . And from the moment Dawn arrived I felt more relaxed. The 2 girls took to her instantly. She was so kind, fun and helpful. We couldn't of done our day without her . I would highly recommend Auntie Katie's services. We can't thank Dawn enough for all she done .

I can?t recommend Clodagh from Auntie Katie?s highly enough. Nothing was too much trouble and I felt so at ease knowing our 18 month old was in great hands. Clodagh made sure he was involved in the wedding as much as possible but also kept him to his routine which was a life saviour. When he wasn?t with us at the wedding she kept my sister updated with messages and photos which meant we could all fully relax for the day knowing he was also happy out!
Clodagh was so professional, friendly and kind and our son absolutely loved her. An easy 5 star review :)

The best money we spent on the wedding was on Katie, our daughter and nephew instantly attached to Katie like they had know her all their lives. Katie had the kids with us at all times unless they needed a break, she was as we kept saying "a child whisperer". Absolutely delighted we decided to book Katie she made our day stress free. She was on hand to help with anything, not just child related. Absolute star, best service you could get for your wedding.

What can I say about Katie and Clodagh? Working as a wedding supplier myself, I often bump into both of them at numerous weddings & have seen them in action. So when our own big day came up, we always knew who we were going to call. The hardest part of planning a wedding when you have children is the job of the care of your child on the day. You cannot fully relax unless you know that they are in safe hands and my god are Katie and Clodagh the safest pair of hands. They were absolutely phenomenal. They came to the house that morning to look after our two sons who are three and five. They took care of them at the church. There was not a geek out of the kids in the church. So many wedding guests complimented how fantastic they were at keeping them entertained throughout the church and they were so happy and content. So much so when the mass was over, the kids wanted to go straight back to our Airbnb with the two girls even though they had only just met then because they were having so much fun with all the toys. The two girls took the kids back to our house and minded them until 12 o'clock the following morning so that we could get a sleep in and rest. We cannot thank both of you enough for all that you have done. Not only are they so professional but they are unbelievable at their job. Thank you so much for everything you have done for us and we will be recommending you to absolutely everyone x

She minded my little girl and kept her entertained for the 2 days . The kids loved Katie she had all the time and energy to keep the kids entertained and load?s of toys to play with.

My sister got married in Gougane Barra recently and we booked this babysitting service for the day of the wedding. Clodagh was our babysitter and she was fantastic. I have a 20 month old and a 4 month old, so Clodagh was kept busy. She was brilliant with both kids, we felt very at ease knowing she was minding the kids. I would absolutely recommend this service to anyone as we got to enjoy the wedding knowing the kids were well looked after and in safe hands.

Kelsie was absolutey amazing the day of our wedding we have two kids but it was our younger boy who?s was just Turning two was our main concern, he took to kelsie instantly she was fantastic from start to finish,she?s a natural with children and made our day run so smoothly without having to worry.

I booked Auntie Katie's for my sisters wedding at which I was bridesmaid. We had Nikita looking after our 8 week old baby, from when we arrived at the hotel until 2am. She was amazing. I was at ease as soon as i met her. She made the day so easy for us. She was so good we our baby. I knew he was in safe hands, which meant I could enjoy the day. Thank you so much for everything x. Such an amazing service.

We had our wedding two days ago and we had Auntie Katie?s and omg they where just amazing the level of communication was just brilliant I was updated on how the kids are and wat they where doing throughout the day and I didn't have to worry once about the kids both my kids have autism and the two girls understand and helped them cope throughout the day even had lots if sensory toys and knew when my kids needed a break and took them to the room or outside for a walk I can honestly say we couldn't of got married with out these girls knowing ur kids a been looked after and safe was the best feeling I would 100% recommend ye all to get these girls there just outstanding at what they do

We simply can't recommend Aunty Katie's Wedding Nanny enough! They were absolutely fantastic with our son,niece and newborn nephew. They met the children at the church and instantly bonded with them and insured they had everything they needed for the entire day, night and the next morning. The kids are very easy going but we underestimated how overwhelming the day would be for them so we were so grateful we had arranged Kate and Maria to be there from the church. They are so professional, kind and caring. They don't remove the children from the day but ensure the children are part of the day in the best and safest way possible which was our highest priority. They were also a massive support to myself and Dave throughout the day and have great advice as they have a wealth of experience behind them. We can't thank them enough and will never forget how they made our little man's day on our families big day.

Fantastic service. We felt very comfortable with leaving our 9 month old and 3 year old with Clodagh.

Kate was absolutely tremendous on our wedding day! The service she provides is outstanding, we were carefree for the day while Kate looked after our baby. Kate looked after our baby over night and kept us updated while she had him! All our guests were full of compliments for Kate. She was so good at her job that many thought she was a family member looking after our son! Excellent service, excellent care and you will not be disappointed! Your wedding day will be hassle free if you book Kate!

We just had Aunty Katie?s minding our three children for our wedding last Saturday. I cannot recommend them enough! If you are undecided to get a babysitter or not, do it! It was hands down the best money we spent. We could enjoy our day and still had our children around but we had no worries about them as we knew they were being looked after. Clodagh and Aisling came in the morning of the wedding and the kids took to them straight away, everyone called them the baby whisperer ! Clodagh even helped us with our flowers and my wedding dress !!! Amazing service that I will recommend to everyone! Thanks again

Katie and Clodagh looked after our 3 children (age 4, 2, and 5 months) for our wedding last week. I cannot praise them highly enough on here. If there were more stars to give, I would give more. I was very nervous about the kids being with someone they had never met, but the girls just swooped in, took over and it felt like we all knew them with years. I honestly can't imagine what we would have done without them. All of our guests were commenting on how attentive the girls were with the children. Our children had NEVER stayed anywhere else apart from their own beds, and I let Katie know this straight away, but it didn't phase her one bit, she just put me at ease straight away and said it would all be fine, which it was. They also went above and beyond their line of duty, doing extra jobs like helping me with my dress on multiple occasions, and doing small things that they didn't need to do, but gladly did to help us out. I'll never forget when I arrived to the church in the car, the gate had closed in the wind, I then saw Clodagh running at full speed towards the gate to have it opened in time for the car!!!! I called her superwoman! We are currently packing for a few nights away and our girls are asking if Katie and Clodagh are coming with us!!!! I WISH!! If anyone is hesitant on booking Auntie Katies, please, let this reassure you that it will be the best money ye spend on your wedding day. 100% guaranteed. Xxx Linda

We had the absolute pleasure of having Katie to mind our three kids and niece on our wedding day. She made the day so easy for us and minded them so well. Kids loved her. She was an absolute dream to have with us minding the kids. Cannot recommend Katie and Auntie Katie's services enough what an amazing choice we made! Thank you again.
Sandra and Adrian

Fantastic care and attention to the children's needs. Reliable, caring and 100% I would recommend to anyone.

We got married in June and Kate and the team minded my 12 nieces and nephews ranging from ages 3 right up to 14. All the parents were singing their praises and I could not have asked for a better service. Kate and the team could facilitate anything we needed. Some of the kids needed someone to stay late in the room and this was looked after, one of my nieces has mobility restrictions and every game or actively was completely inclusive. My siblings and their partners could enjoy themselves knowing the kids were in safe hands. It?s hard to imagine a wedding without this service now that we have done it, 5 stars

Well where do I start. I contacted Katie to check availability Corey age 2 and Freya 10 months(Bride and groom baby)for my brother wedding two full days and nights and to my delighted she was available. From the minute I met Katie and Kesley on the day I knew they would be well look after. They took both of them for walks to see horses to playground and for lods of games . From the church they were hand on and for when things got to much for them they took them outside and for photos Katie making them laugh and smile for them . Nothing was ever to much for them and to see Corey and freya happy and looked after let the bride and groom and myself happy to enjoy the day without worry and also for the second day . I can't thank ye both enough ye are truly amazing thank you x

Our experience was incredible. Niamh was a pro with our son. Made us all feel safe and confident in her abilities. It really did have a big positive impact on our day to have such great assistance with our son!

I was delighted to come across Auntie Katie?s. I had looked into a number of different options for our big day and all others were very pricey and not as easy to deal with.From the beginning Katie was very warm & friendly. She was easy to work with. We mainly required support for our 8month old however also needed consideration for our 7year old especially if he chose to stay with his baby brother that night. Subsequently he didn?t (instead opting for a cousin sleepover) which is why flexibility was paramount to us and we were so appreciative of this & that it didn?t affect our cost. Again this was a big differentiator compared to others we spoke with. On the wedding day itself we had Clodagh. From the get go she was incredible. Our 8month old was teething very badly and, as a heavily breastfed baby is not used to being minded by others therefore would get upset whenever he was away from my husband and I. On the day he was also refusing solids & bottles yet this did not phase Clodagh at all. My only regret is that I didn?t get Clodagh for earlier that morning because as soon as she arrived (2hours before our ceremony) it meant I could instantly relax and actually get ready. Our baby was overtired and overwhelmed when Clodagh arrived however magically she had him ready and in amazing form for the ceremony. I had expected he would miss it entirely so was thrilled we got exactly what we could?ve hoped for. When our baby need to be away from all the fuss Clodagh immediately removed him and calmed him, she got him to nap and made sure he was brought to me for feeds. Clodagh kept us informed of how he was via my sister which provided huge reassurance and let me know when he really needed a feed or just to be with us. Clodagh was professional, polite, warm, patient, flexible and incredibly attentive to our babies needs while also ensuring our 7year old was looked after for anything he needed too. Our day & night would not have been the same without Clodagh there. She felt like part of the family when she was departing. I highly recommend Auntie Katie?s for any future couples considering this service.

I had 15 children at my wedding all family and there ages ranged from
9 - 1
Katie brought a team of 3 with her. They were outstanding literally all of us parents didn?t even have to lift a finger all day ,anytime I seen my 4 year old
and 2 year old Katie or one of her team were with them ,they played games with them all day they fed them
At dinner time changed nappies, danced with them for the disco and when the time came they put them to bed ,The one worry I had was with my 2 year old who just wonders off and does his own thing all the time but My 2 kids took to Katie the minute they seen her she has a very special way with kids and from that very minute I knew I didn?t have to worry as they were in very very safe hands ,I am so so glad I booked Katie and her team for our wedding day ,knowing the kids were so well
Looked after meant me
And my husband could relax and enjoy our day ,It was worth every penny and more
And I highly recommend this team

Clodagh from Auntie Katie's was an absolute dream minding my little girl and her cousins at my sisters wedding. She was professional, efficient and so good with the kids. From the suitcase of toys, to playing outside, to knowing when to take them to the room for a break and yet still letting the kids be part of the wedding. She allowed me to enjoy the wedding knowing full well that my girl was in the best of hands. An absolute brilliant service which I would highly recommend.

My partner and I flew home from Oz for my sisters wedding in April with our boy who was 11 months old at the time - we had previously been informed of Katie?s amazing service and got her booked! I actually couldn?t have been more grateful to Katie she was absolutely amazing. I was a bridesmaid and my son was pageboy so it was going to be manic getting ready - Katie was in the area so arrived 4 hours earlier than expected and came to meet us it was genuinely like she had known my son from birth there was no faffing about she just came in and took over and it was amazing! Katie took Kai for a walk and joined us in the bridal suite after and even got Kai ready into his suit - Katie had him for the whole service and even afterwards was floating around the wedding with him making sure he got to see and meet everyone

When it came to bedtime Katie dashed off with him and sent plenty of updates and photos so I was reassured that he was ok but I knew from the minute I met Katie that he was in the best of hands - my partner and I have both said that getting Katie was the best money we spent our whole trip home she is so caring and my boy absolutely adored her. Myself and my partner were actually able to enjoy the full day and the day after all thanks to Katie and her service. If you book this fantastic service I can guarantee you won?t regret it ????

I'd really recommend Kate, she was top class. It was almost as if she'd known the girls all there lives. They were so at ease with her and so happy. It made our night so much better as we knew the girls were in such great hands which made it so easy to relax. Would highly recommend Kate she is absolutely outstanding at what she does

We had our wedding on Friday and Katie was our wedding nanny. From the very first conversation I had with Katie on the phone I knew she was going to be amazing. It was evident that her top priority is the children she cares for. We booked Katie to take care of our 2 year old son for a 24hour period during our wedding. Katie arrived at the hotel at 10am, she immediately bonded with our son within seconds, she brought a bag of toys such as bubbles, cars, tractors, blocks. She dressed him, fed him, changed him, soothes him, played with him, and met all of his needs throughout the period we had her until 10am the next morning. Katie is an absolute professional who is incredible with children. She is very calm and caring. All of our guests kept asking who the girl with our son was to complement how good she was with him. I would HIGHLY recommend katie and will definitely use her again in the future. Thank you Katie! 10/10

Clodagh arrived at our wedding at dinner time and was straight in with our 2 girls. They took to her straight away, she was lovely and brought the kids to bed for us and got them to sleep very fast. They were totally comfortable with her and they slept all night for her. Very good service, very efficent and cost effective would definitely recommend.

What a fantastic service!
Clodagh was waiting for us when we arrived at the hotel, and immediately bonded with the children; we were two families with 4 kids under 6. She had them all day and overnight and they loved her. She kept in touch throughout, and sent us pictures of the fun they were having. I had to bribe my children to come down to the wedding reception as they ?were having too much fun with Clodagh?. Knowing that the kids were happy & safe, gave us great peace of mind and we were really able to relax and enjoy the wedding.
Thank you so much to Clodagh & Auntie Katie?s ? I would highly recommend your services.

Katie was fantastic with our six month old. She ensured that the baby was involved at a level to suit her schedule. She removed any anxiety or worries we could have had, making the whole day stress free. We would definitely recommend Katie.

The best money we spent for our whole wedding! Dawn was absolutely amazing!! She was so helpful as well as looking after the kids. Our two kids were 3 and 6 at the time, they are both a handful, everyone commented on how amazing Dawn was with them. From the minute she arrived she got stuck in and they loved her straight away. Our wedding is almost 3 months ago now and they still talk about her. We didn't have to worry about the kids all day which was so lovely to know they were being well looked after. We will be recommending this service to EVERYONE we know! Thanks again for making our day stress-free xx

Can't recommend Katie and Clodagh enough. They were singly the best thing we did for our 3 kids who were attending their aunt's wedding. Communication was brilliant with Katie at time of booking and she took such interest in learning about our kids and what they liked. On the day Katie and Clodagh made sure that the kids were their only focus, so well looked after and they had the best fun. We genuinely knew that they were in great hands from the minute we met the girls. The had so much energy and enthusiasm. The kids got to have great fun but were also brought down to join in the fun when wanted. Without a doubt amazing value for money, the girls went above and beyond and our kids still talk about the great fun they had with Katie and Clodagh.

I honestly cannot speak highly enough of the work kate and her team do we had kate herself for our wedding a few weeks ago and my god I was blown away she cared for 2 very "energetic" 3 year olds and our son and niece. Kate made it look easy from the morning of the wedding in the church the venue and even the following morning they were so well behaved trust me we were shocked ???? honestly the best decision ever made was having kate care for them they didn't look for us once and we were quiet content with that she had everything under control from start to finish!! I personally just want to say thank you so much for everything and making the day so much easier for myself and my sister will 100% be recommending to everyone xx

We were so worried how our 1 & 2 yr old were going to cope with our wedding day - thank goodness for Auntie Katie ! Kept them entertained and cared for all day long - the kids loved her from the get go - it was such peace of mind for the day and into the night - they had a ball with Katie and it meant we could relax and enjoy our day - Katie couldn?t have done more for them and for us on the day and I couldn?t recommend her highly enough - still can?t believe how instantly the kids took to her it was phenomenal!

We had Katie and Isabelle for our wedding the 11of August minding 6 kids especially our little girl who is 2 which we were so worried that she would not settle with anyone I did not no what to expect but as soon as Katie came when we were doing our pictures she had our daughter smileing straight away and both Katie and Isabelle were absolutely fantastic we did not have to worry the rest of the day our daughter and the rest of the kids loved the hole experience they were so happy all day could not get over how well it went it was the best thing we ever booked out of the hole wedding honestly I would recommend Katie to anyone who is getting married she is just fantastic with kids .thanks so so much for everything Katie ye were truly outstanding

Clodagh was amazing from the moment we met her. Our son (17 months) took to her straight away, and he normally doesn?t take to strangers. We were so ease throughout the entire day, as we could see that he was so busy playing and having fun with her. She was so professional throughout the whole experience, we could not recommend her highly enough. She was fantastic!!

Katie was minding my Son & nephew (4 & 1.5) for my wedding and I simply can't recommend her enough. She had the boys all day and over night and they loved her. From the moment katie came along she got stuck into playing with the boys, recognising when they needed to be distracted or needed some calm time, having fun and it was amazing to know they were safe and we didn't have to worry.

Katie, you are a star and truly amazing. We enjoyed the whole day and it was really mostly down to you and knowing that we didn't have to worry about the boys. The guests at the wedding also commented about what a great service Katie provided. Thank you so much

We knew Katie was exceptional from the moment she walked in. Katie provided an outstanding service from start to finish & we are forever thankful to her for taking care of our two little ones with such dedication & professionalism. I dread to think how I would have coped if we didn't have her on the day. Our little boy of a year & a half doesn't stay with many people but he took to Katie straight away. Also while the photographer was taking our photos with the kids, Katie was well able to keep them content & looking at the camera for us which is not an easy thing to do. I would highly recommend this amazing wedding Nanny. Katie is highly capable, exceptional at her job. She goes above & beyond for the wedding couples & their children.

Clodagh was absolutely fantastic looking after our little girl on our wedding day - she was actually quite unwell but Clodagh took it in her stride & while my little girl usually makes strange she took to Clodagh straight away - she has some kind of magic touch!!!

We got married in June when our little boy was 6 months old. From the minute Katie walked into the house it was as if we knew her all our lives. She blended in effortlessly and is so down to earth and easy to get along with. Our little man had never met her before (even though Katie did offer) and he took to her straight away. We didn?t worry about him once because we knew he was in safe hands. Katie is worth her weight in gold and we couldn?t recommend her highly enough!
