About Me
Hello there,
I’m a mum to a 13 year old boy and a 16 year old girl.
My Requirements
I require someone who can be relatively flexible with regards to days per week as my husband works shifts. I therefore haven’t stated days required as this changes daily.
I need someone to take my son to school once or twice a week and collect him once or twice a week.
My son goes to Woodlands Secondary School and the On the days that my son is taken to school , I would need you to be at my home by 7.30 am as this is the time I need to leave for work.
Twice a week I will need my son to be collected from school and to be looked after until I get home ( Approx 4.30)
Due to the complexities, the person would ideally need a car, however it isn’t essential as I’m willing to pay for a cab.
My son has autism so someone with special needs experience would be great.

I called and had a conversation and arranged for her to come and meet me the following week. Confirmed via text message. I sent a message the day before checking if everything was okay for the following day. I didn’t receive a response nor did she show up for the initial meeting.
This was rather disappointing as she seemed to be able to meet my requirements.

Hiya. I’m really sorry about this. I was admitted into the hospital not long after our phone call and had no way to contact you.
Really sorry about this inconvenience. I really hope you have found someone who suits you.
Again can’t explain how deeply sorry I am.
Penny & Roger have been looking after my son for a number of years.
They are loving and caring and provide a great environment for our son. We have recently moved out of London and we still use Penny to look after our son occasionally.
My son has special needs and I find it hard to leave him with people, however I’d wholeheartedly recommend Penny.
I get pictures and updates regularly which is great too.

Thank you x
Penny has been looking after my son for the last four years.
She is extremely caring and goes the extra mile to ensure that my son is happy.
Initially my son was going to her for two to three days a week and now he is at school she has him after school. Penny provides my son with a lovely tea each evening which is healthy and nutritious.
Each day I am provided with feedback , letting me know how he has been.
This is invaluable as my son has autism and can’t always express himself .
There is a very large garden which is great for the children too.
I would recommend Penny to all parents as she is absolutely fantastic.

Thank you 🥰
Penny is a lovely women who has been looking after my son for about 6 weeks. Every time he is with her he comes home with something he has made and she always keeps me up to speed with what he is doing during the day with pictures .
She makes a conscious effort to meet his special needs and seeks out activities that will aid his development.
I would wholeheartedly recommend her to other parents.
