All three of my children have been cared for by Julie since August 2013. They warmed to her immediately and always come away from her house happy. Julie brings out the best in all of them and is genuinely interested in each of them, getting to know their personalities, interests, their likes and dislikes. She is a naturally warm person and is very relaxed and happy looking after children which they respond to well. She has proven to be reliable, trustworthy and has had nothing but a positive influence on my children. Julie's family have also been very welcoming and kind to all of us and I am completely comfortable leaving my children in her care.
