We have used Grace this summer for ad hoc care for our 2 year old boy. He hadn't had too much childcare previously and after a few months at home with us and no other adults during lockdown I was feeling anxious about how he would cope. I needn't have worried. He immediately bonded with Grace and has really enjoyed his time with her over the past few weeks. Grace has been confident, calm and caring but also a whole load of fun. She used some brilliant techniques to help form an attachment with our toddler and I feel like he has really gained from spending time with her at the park, in the woods and playing games at home.
Our older two (5 & 7yrs) have mainly been at activity camps whilst Grace has been with us but in the windows of time she has had with them too she has been fantastic at engaging them all.
We will miss her!
