Eileen looked after our adopted son (8 years old) for just under a year. First for foremost, our son thoroughly enjoyed his time with Eileen - he was safe, happy, clean and cared for outstandingly - and further Eileen was 100% reliable and always flexible/accommodating. Eileen’s responsibilities included school runs, homework and general child minding (dinner time, bath time etc.) three evenings per week. In addition Eileen often had our son for full days during parts of the school holidays and inset days.

Eileen really showed an interest in our son, and our family, and took every opportunity to support him and help him to grow academically and emotionally. Eileen arranged play dates with children in her wider family/network for him; would buy books and board games to broaden his interests; planned trips where he could have fun, play with others and learn; and worked very hard to bring his homework to life.

Eileen also supported us as a family, supporting our approach to parenting and championing our shared values.

Eileen is extremely capable, diligent, hard working, honest, caring and has great values. A change in our employment was the only reason that we parted ways. We would happily and confidently recommend Eileen to other families and miss her dearly.

Thank you Eileen!
