Buttercup Babysitting is the dreamchild of Deborah Curtis.

Deborah first started babysitting her many siblings in the summer of 2010. Gradually, her services were asked for outside of the home and now Buttercup Babysitting caters for many families around the Hawkes Bay. All the girls in Buttercup Babysitting have been thoroughly checked and come highly recommended.
