Hi I am a Registered Childminder with the Scottish Care Inspectorate, and am also a Nanny.I have just had my yearly inspection from care inspectorate and awarded grade 5 which is very good(grades 1_6)I have always loved looking after children, firstly at the age of 12 going for walks with a Pram and then babysitting as a teenager. I am a mum of two adult children one working as gym instructor/personnel trainer and the other is a qualified PE teacher. I keep fit by swimming in a pool and wild swimming,and love walking. I have previously been a foster carer for Edinburgh City Council for 6 years looking after babies and young children. I was previously a Nanny before I had my own children, I have a clean driving licence. I stay in the Clermiston area of Edinburgh in a semi detached house with a safe fully enclosed garden with plenty of outside toys. I attend regular playgroups, and trips to the park, Connifox nursery play centre,rock tots, rhyme time. There are lots of nice parks in the area that I can take children to and rhyme time at the local library and I attend a Toddler group every week, there are various adventure parks/zoo and Craigie farm nearby. Connifox nursery and jupiter Art land. Botanical gardens. I have a good selection of indoor toys and craft play and am looking to make it a home from home environment for the children. I am registered with environmental health to prepare food on the premises . I am planning on having no more than 3 to 4 children at any one time so there will be plenty of attention to go round. (info for students, colleges now pay childcare funding directly to childminder which makes it easier for student)

Fiona came to look after our 22 month old and was organised, easy to deal with and very reliable. I'd highly recommend using Fiona for any babysitting you may need. She's extremely knowledgeable and you van be absolutely confident that your wee one is in safe hands.

Fiona looked after our 16-month old daughter for a few days so we could visit Edinburgh baby free.
She's an excellent and highly experienced carer who makes it look almost easy to look after a kid. Every day, we found our daughter in a happy mood and very calm after spending time with Fiona.
Thank you very much.

It was my pleasure she was a charm to look after 🥰
Fiona babysat for our two children (6 & 2yrs old) in our holiday apartment while we were at a birthday celebration. It was the first time our 2yr old had been looked after by a babysitter and it could not have gone more smoothly! 2yr old even woke up in the morning and asked where Fiona was! Thank you Fiona, for being a wonderful carer last Saturday night!

Thank you so much for the lovely review,
Glad everything went so smoothly for your birthday 🥰
Fiona made us feel very comfortable and at ease as parents who left their baby with someone for the very first time. She was professional the entire time with her communication, and could appreciate our nerves, and yet was helpful to us.
Thank you Fiona!
