Sarita looked after my P1 son after school and on occasion for a whole day during the holidays. The kids are a lovely 'crew' and clearly feel really at home with Sarita and at her home. She cultivates a family atmosphere and integration of the children she looks after so they become friends, including with her own son. Whenever the weather is good, she takes the children to the park, providing a variety of snacks and really putting in effort to offer something for the children's tastes and family preferences. At home, she has plenty of toys and activities on offer, including puzzles and Lego. If she were in the area (at the park), she'd always offer to drop off at our house. A really nice touch is that she celebrates popular holidays and occasions with the kids, making decorations and giving them presents.

Sarita cared for our son for about 6 months after his nursery days, including nursery pickups. Her impact was incredible in such a short time. Our son quickly grew attached to her kind and caring personality, making the transition smooth.
Sarita's dedication went beyond basic childcare. She regularly took the kids to local parks, creating enriching outdoor experiences. Special occasions like birthdays, Christmas, and Easter were celebrated with enthusiasm, and she even gave thoughtful presents.
It's evident Sarita genuinely cares about the kids. As our son started P1, saying goodbye was tough. Her ability to form such strong bonds is truly remarkable. Sarita is an excellent choice if you're seeking a nurturing, attentive, and fun childminder.
In conclusion, Sarita's brief but impactful role left us grateful for the joy she brought into our son's life. Highly recommended!

Sarita looked after our 3 daughters before and after school for over 2 years and also for whole days during the holidays. She provides a relaxed homely setting which the girls really enjoyed. They had access to her garden and regularly visited local play parks as well as playing games and undertaking arts and craft activities in her home.
Sarita is friendly, caring and reliable and provides a very personnel service. She is very communicative and it was great to receive regular photos of the girls undertaking various activities. We would definately recommend her child minding service to others.

Sarita is a real gem of a find – we can’t recommend her highly enough. Our daughter was 3 when she started with Sarita; for 12 months Sarita provided pick-up from pre-school and after school care, which was always excellent. She provides a relaxed and homely environment for the kids, is extremely caring, reliable, and trustworthy. Our daughter loved her time with Sarita and the other children she looks after; they often went on trips to local playgrounds, did all sorts of crafts and fun activities, and generally had a great time. Highly recommended!

Sarita looked after our wee one for about a month and a half while nursery was closed. She was fantastic. My little one felt at ease immediately after entering her home and absolutely loved it there throughout the whole period. She cried on her last day as she didn’t want to leave which shows how fantastic she felt at Sarita’s house.
