Shona was an excellent nanny to my 1 year old son and he truly adored her. She is absolutely wonderful with children. I’ve seen her with all ages of children and she really has something magical about her that children and babies love. She is warm and nurturing and quick to make a connection with the children, it felt like having a family member looking after him. Shona always had lots of different fun games and activities up her sleeve and also took him out for lovely nature walks and to the park every day. Would highly recommend Shona.

Hi Vicky
It was such a joy caring for your wee boy. He came on so well in my care. I just adored his affectionate smile.
Don and I miss him dearly.
I hope you both are doing well.
Shona.
Shona was so great with the three girls that we hired her to babysit. They all loved her, and we would absolutely use Shona’s services again. Shona is so friendly and great with kids!

Thank you for your kind feedback.
The girls were wee gems. Happy to offer my services the next time you’re in Scotland.
Shona
Shona has provided my 3 children the most professional and quality childcare which provides a sense of reassurance every time. With experience, flexibility and reliability alongside, I would highly recommend Shona for childcare and will continue to value her service and support.

Hi Sam
Thank you for your lovely feedback review of my services, it’s very much appreciated.
I have such fun time with the children it’s so nice to see children enjoying board games than having their heads stuck into a phone or computer. I will continue to provide care as and when you require me.
Shona.
Shona looked after our 1 and 3 year old for an evening including bed time. It was the 1st time we left the boys with anyone and we felt confident in Shona's skills as a nanny. She got them both asleep and in their beds (almost a miracle 😆). Shona has a calm and nurturing approach and we will definitely use her again!

Thank you for the lovely feedback.
Look forward to seeing the boys again.
Shona has been the childminder for our two daughters over the past 8 years. She provides an excellent service, is kind, caring and organised. Importantly, both girls really enjoyed any time with Shona. I've no hesitation recommending Shona for any childcare duties.

Hi Hamish
Thank you for your review.
It was a joy to care for the girls I can’t believe it was 8 years, we had lots of fun together the girls especially enjoyed crafts and walking Alfie.
We miss the girls very much if you ever need help with babysitting or dog sitting you have my number.
Wishing the family all the best.
Shona.
Shona took fantastic care of our 8 month old son recently, making our wedding day completely stress-free. He was a little tearful and out of sorts being away from his usual schedule/routine, however Shona had the patience of a saint, and nothing was too much trouble. She brought great toys and activities that he loved, and took him out for lots of walks around the venue to keep him happy. Thank you so much Shona! :)

Hi Katie
Thank you again for choosing me to care for little Ted on your special day, he is such a wee cutie he did love the train set.
I would like to wish you all the very best wishes and happiness.
Shona.
Shona looked after my grandson during my daughter’s wedding. This was obviously a very special occasion but the welfare of my grandson was of paramount importance so we were delighted to meet Shona and discover what a caring and capable person she was.
Nothing was too much bother and she followed the routine that my daughter asked her to do.
My grandson was very happy with Shona and we would definitely use Shona’s services again!
We would recommend Shona to anyone, thanks again very much for your help Shona, it was invaluable on my daughter’s big day!

Hi Elaine
It was a pleasure looking after your grandson, he was a wee bundle of fun and such a contented little boy.
He enjoyed building bricks with me and my story sack puppets.
If I can help in the future please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Wishing you and the family best wishes.
Shona.
Shona was more than I could ever wish for. My 3 year old twins absolutely loved her. It was their first ever visit to Scotland and were meeting so many new people. They took to her immediately and she was wonderful with them. Shona supported me tremendously with the children on the day of my brother’s wedding, taking them for walks, entertaining them with her little bag of goodies and communicating brilliantly with my special needs son. I felt completely relaxed leaving them with her. I will definitely be contacting Shona again next time I visit family in Scotland. Wonderful!

Hi Heather
Thank you for your lovely feedback.
It was a joy to look after the twins, they certainly were a bundle of fun. You have my details and I would only be too happy to help if you require me in the future.
Love to you all.
Shona.
We’ve known Shona for around 8 months now and she has become our go to babysitter for our 4 & 5 year old kids. We have had many social events on this year including family weddings meaning that our family we have always relied on for babysitting have not been able to care for the kids due to attending the event themselves! Anyway, Shona very quickly made us feel so at ease and that our kids were safe and very happy in her care. Shona met our children several times before caring for them and she really made such a wonderful effort at getting to know them as well as myself. Shona is an experienced child minder and she is more than happy to speak of her experience whilst equally making sure that you as the parent are heard and listened to in terms of the way in which you want your child to be cared for. It’s obvious how much Shona loves to care for children. She is great when it comes to setting boundaries with them but equally she is great fun and the kids love how playful she is as well as the warmth she has about her. We haven’t ever hesitated to contact Shona for babysitting and if we needed a childminder, we would be delighted to have Shona. Shona, thank you for the work you do taking excellent care of our children!

Hi Kate
Thank you for your lovely feedback, I love looking after your children we have such fun especially when I hide from them.
Happy to offer my services anytime.
Hope to see you all soon.
Shona.
From the moment we met Shona we knew our twin boys would be in capable hands. She is warm, kind and professional. Our children went to Shona’s lovely home once a week for just over 2 years.
During this time Shona not only provided child care but often planned activities, groups, trips and arts and crafts. Shona also insured there was a wide variety of games/toys and regular walks and trips to the park.
Shona is an excellent communicator and always had time to talk about the boys day.
We enjoyed Shona’s personal touch of sending us photos of moments throughout the day.
If our boys were not starting school we would have happily continued to send them to Shona’s home every week. The boys often talk about Shona, Don ( Shona’s husband) and Alfie the friendly Beagle dog.
Thank you Shona,
The Mackie family.
