We first met Gin in Australia and trusted him enough to bring him on again when we travelled to Osaka with our 4-month-old and 4.5-year-old. He absolutely delivered.

From the outset, we felt confident having him with our children. We had done thorough safety checks, and his punctuality and reliability throughout the trip meant we never had a moment of worry.

What really sets Gin apart is his energy and tenacity with the kids. He doesn’t give up when faced with tricky behaviour. He adapts, tries different approaches, and keeps things calm and positive. That kind of resourcefulness and flexibility makes an enormous difference when you’re managing two very different ages with very different needs.

Beyond childcare, he was an unexpected asset for the trip itself, helping with navigation, translation, and on-the-fly travel planning in a city where that support made everything smoother.

I came home feeling genuinely refreshed, which is not something I ever expected to say after an overseas trip with a baby and a preschooler. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with Gin again.
