Lisa worked regular nannying hours for us on a short-term basis towards the end of last year. In that time, Lisa developed a wonderful rapport with both our children (our daughter age 8, and son age 11). They really enjoyed their time with Lisa, including indoors games and play, and outdoor walks and activities. Lisa gained their trust and respect at an emotionally tricky time when our previous nanny left and Lisa joined us. I highly recommend Lisa because she is consistent, reliable and competent, alongside having the perfect blend of being kind, fun and assertive. Lisa was very to take on household duties pertaining to the children including cooking, washing, taking children to their activites and running necessary errands. Lisa's experience in childcare really shows and in a very short space of time Lisa became a big part of our family and someone to truly rely on. Thank you Lisa!

Lisa is simply great. She looked after both of our toddlers (who can be a handful) and was always calm, nurturing and attentive to their needs. Lisa always went over and above to find creative and educational ways to keep them occupied throughout the day. Our kids absolutely loved her and we also enjoyed having her in our home. She’ll be such an asset to your family - I honestly can’t recommend her highly enough.
