Asmarrah's Reviews
Parent
Below are the reviews that Asmarrah has written.
My husband and I wanted to attend the postgraduate Open Day at the University of Edinburgh. After realizing we’d be in talks all day long, we decided to find a childminder so we could actually attend the talks without our toddler twins throwing wobblies all day. Imane was amazing, very patient with us as we navigated the city, and the boys really enjoyed their time with her. They’re still happy and giggling away right now, and my husband and I got to enjoy our day as well. Should we return to Edinburgh, we won’t hesitate to contact her. I highly recommend Imane.

From the moment we met Claudia, we knew we'd found someone special. She took good care of our autistic twins while my husband and I enjoyed a night out at the theatre, and she exceeded every expectation we had.
Claudia's warmth and compassion were evident from the start. Despite only a few days' notice, she took the time to get to know our children, understanding their unique needs and asking detailed questions about their preferences and our goals. She was punctual, gentle and patient. Her genuine dedication to their well-being was evident from the start and put our minds at ease instantly.
What truly sets Claudia apart is her exceptional understanding of children with autism. Our twins can be a handful, to say the least, especially in unfamiliar situations. We expected our phones to be buzzing all night long, but ultimately, it was we who kept texting to check-in.
I should also note that Claudia's creativity in engaging with children is remarkable. She came prepared with activities and games, and it was heartwarming to see how she connected with them by name from the moment she saw them. There were smiles all around.
She followed bedtime routines and even managed to get one of our twins to fall asleep in under and hour when it normally takes us both more than two hours. She had a list for us when we walked through the door, detailing changes, what they ate and how much, any difficulties, and she even neatly folded their dirty clothes into a neat stack. And everything was just as neat and tidy as when we left, if not better.
Claudia is so much more than a babysitter. Her expertise, compassion, and dedication to our children touched our hearts deeply. We almost skipped the play due to our apprehension about finding a qualified sitter, but after speaking with her and reviewing her long list of qualifications, we made the right decision. I am so glad we found Claudia. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent or carer in need of a trustworthy, understanding, and incredibly capable caregiver.
Claudia, thank you for giving us the gift of a worry-free evening, (the first since 2019!) and for being exceptional with our twins. You've made a lasting impact on our family, and we are forever grateful to you. We're all looking forward to working with you again in the near future.
With the utmost appreciation,
Asmarrah Bedford
