Testimonials

Thank you all so much

I can’t fault the experience we’ve had with Leave It To Us. You’ve all been phenomenal.

HC

Can’t do without them

“Leave it to Us have been instrumental in every aspect of helping us with this property. From purchase to moving in, contacts, suppliers, staff, trades, 50th birthday parties in Italy, in fact just about anything, I couldn’t have done it all without them. Wholeheartedly recommend.”

JB

First port of call

“Kitty and Camilla helped us recruit a wonderful couple. They understood the requirements and only introduced suitable candidates and then provided all the support necessary to make the whole process very straightforward. They have also helped source other services from computer gurus to property surveyors. They are definitely our first port of call when we need help. And they are fun and delightful to work with.”

PP

Saved the day

“Kitty really saved the day for me, we required an emergency gardener to sort out a few issues and Kitty found the most exceptional individual. The gardener pulled out all the stops and really understood our requirements under the circumstances. He was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate and efficient.  What I love about Kitty is that she didn’t panic, she was straight-forward, picked up our request immediately and got the job done to the highest standard. Kitty knew the standard we required and solved our dilemma with true professionalism.”

Kelly Hoppen CBE

Such a find!

“We are settling in nicely to our house and I wanted to drop you a quick note to tell you how thrilled we are with our new housekeeper.  She’s such a find! Not only does she have the best attitude and work ethic, she is an absolute pleasure to have around the house, AND she’s also the best chef we’ve ever had! Thank you thank you!!”

CS

Fun, engaging, highly-focused

"Kitty and Camilla are the dream team providing seamless help for all your household needs.  They helped clients of mine find several members of staff and provided them with various options in a timely and efficient manner.  They are a joy to work with - fun, engaging and also highly focused. They have a seemingly never-ending book of contacts and potential applicants for varying household roles.  I would have no hesitation in recommending them."

Buying Agent: Hannah Edge

Slick and efficient

“Having been told by friends I was after the ‘holy grail’ of childcare and not to keep my hopes up, Leave it to Us found me not only 1 but 2 holy grails to choose from! Their service was slick, efficient and super-professional and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and again. In fact I may go back to bed and just Leave it to Them!”

KM

A human approach

“You stand out from all the other agencies, with a totally different and human approach which I so appreciate. Your kindness and positivity helped me navigate this phase and stay positive too. You are the only kind agency I work with.”

Candidate

They know everyone

“Kitty & Camilla have been a godsend when hiring nannies, housekeepers, occasional staff etc. Between them they know EVERYONE and they have the experience and judgment to work out what you really need. They are honest and straight-talking. You also feel they are genuinely passionate about getting the right person for your role. It is such a competitive market here in the Cotswolds, but they move quickly and particularly in closing the deal and getting someone signed up. They have been invaluable in terms of ongoing advice too. A HUGE thumbs up from me.”

JM

Exceptional experience

“We had an exceptional experience with Leave it to Us, thanks to Kitty and Camilla. They helped us hire a Property Manager for us, and we couldn't be happier. She has become an invaluable asset, seamlessly integrating into our team and enhancing our operations. We can't imagine life here without her. The professionalism and dedication of Kitty and Camilla made the hiring process smooth and efficient. Highly recommended!”
