Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
We hired Lindsey last weekend to look after our one-year-old son, and we can't say enough good things about the experience. My partner was home when she came, and reported that she was professional and reliable, arriving right on time, which immediately put them at ease.
What really stood out was how prepared she was. She brought her own activities, and our son loved them. He's a very energetic and demanding little boy who keeps you on your toes, but Lindsey handled him with such patience and confidence. My partner said it was clear she has a lot of experience with young children, and that she knew exactly how to keep him engaged and happy.
As parents, the most important thing is feeling comfortable leaving your child with someone, and we felt completely at ease. It's rare to find a sitter who is this dependable, caring, and capable, and our son had a great time.
We'll definitely be booking Lindsey again, and we'd recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for a trustworthy, experienced sitter. Thank you so much, Lindsey!

We have used Lindsey for around 4 years in the East Ayrshire Area for babysitting, including 3 nights overnight at our wedding. Amazing with ours and other family children who were staying with us, took children out and about to local attractions.
Also has spent time weekly with My ASN 4 year old, over a year working on Communication, language, helping us with visuals. It has made such a difference before going to school. Could not say enough good things, punctual, good communication and very flexible.

"We got in touch with Lindsey, as We were travelling from Australia to Ayrshire to visit family and Attend not one, but 2 weddings over 2 weeks. so needed options to care for our boy 3, and girl, 4. I was a little anxious as my daughter is selectively mute with strangers- no words at all. Luckily Lindsey had some flexibility on our dates.
we were able to zoom meet before our trip, discuss routines etc .She provided a sitting service at our Air b&b throughout the week and the kiddos got to know her. When it came to the weddings, Lindsey brought a play kit and the kids had a whale of a time, were able to come to part of the wedding
while staying in their normal routines, and She also provided an overnight service and took the kids to breakfast (at 7AM! which was late for our terrors) " Nancy
