My Summary
About Me
*Please get in touch for any ad hoc days/night time babysitting*
Hello,
I'm 37 and from the Glasgow area. I've been working with all the major Nanny/Governess agencies worldwide for high profile families for the past 14+ years and I'm now looking for something a little closer to home. I'm also excited to be part of a down to earth family and grow with a family.
I have a degree in Fashion Marketing, I'm a PADI Scuba Diving Instructor and I speak German as a second language, which I learnt as an adult. (I'm also happy to teach this)
I've worked with babies aged 4 weeks old and every age in between, up to teenagers. I have worked mainly abroad and taught children English through play. I enjoy playing indoors and outdoors, creating a fun, loving and caring learning environment with lots of singing and dancing, building and crafting. I'm used to getting stuck in straight away and helping out where needed, happy to create or follow a schedule and to be super flexible.
I genuinely love my job and wouldn't want to do anything else.
I hope to hear from you soon and I'm available from now.
- For temporary/adhoc work but also for a permanent role.

Lisa was brilliant, and our toddler clearly took to her very quickly. We had originally arranged some babysitting for December, then needed an extra full day of childcare at short notice (the week before). I got in touch and she was able to confirm her availability very quickly, and was happy to chat on the phone to clarify a few questions. She was very understanding and reassuring when I explained that this was the first time that he’d been looked after by someone outside family or nursery, and that I was a bit anxious about it.
Despite not having met our son before, he took to her very quickly and had a really lovely day with her. It was so nice to receive some photo updates while we were out. All of her communication was professional, kind and helpful, and I would not hesitate to recommend her. Thanks again!

Thank you so much for such a kind and detailed review! So nice to read!
I had a great day and looking forward to seeing you all again in December.
Booked Lisa last minute for my son. Excellent communication prior to meeting and during the sitting. My son had a lovely time and informed me after, that Lisa was very nice to him and he would like to see her again. Would book again

Thank you so much for your lovely kind words!! I had a very lovely time and really hope to see you both again soon! He was a superstar! Xx
I would definitely recommend Lisa as a Nanny and baby sitter, she saved the day as I had last minute changes in my childcare plans and had to do a last minute arrangement. Lisa is patient, thoughtful she pays attention to little details, she made sure communication is clear and effective throughout. My kids had the best time with Lisa and enjoyed a wide range of activities. I wasnt sure if my toddler will get on well with a new face but all my worries eased seeing my toddlers big smiles. Lisa was also great with my eldest who is ASD and her need for more time to adjust.
Thanks to Lisa I was able to enjoy a nightout with friends knowing that my kids are in safe hands.
