Fiona sitted our 3yo and 8mo kids during a private event. She was so very reliable from the first second that we immediately felt at ease. Even though they didn’t have a long time to get acquainted our kids had a good time. Fiona had great ideas how to keep everyone happy - and even brought her first aid box. Big plus for us were her language skills. Our 3yo says they made a new friend… We would recommend Fiona to everyone!
