Claire looked after our daughter three days a week for a period of 4 months, starting when she was 9 months old. We reluctantly had to find other childcare arrangements due to a move, otherwise we would have loved to keep Claire in our extended family!
Claire provided the best care we could possibly have asked for. Her gentle, responsive attitude immediately put all of us at ease. She came up with a range of developmentally appropriate activities, ranging from creative play at home to going to various play groups. Claire was always reliable, easy to communicate with, and an unintrusive and easy presence in our home. Our daughter thrived under her care and their warm relationship was clear from the fact that she would smile and clap when she heard Claire arriving in the morning and (once she could crawl) head towards the door to meet Claire and give her a cuddle.
