About Me
I'm Ally, mother to Ruairidh (5), Magda (3) and baby Oran (7 months). My partner is Danny, a tree surgeon and I am a herbalist. We live in Granton, North Edinburgh with our dog Zelda.
My Requirements
Baby Oran was due to start with a local childminder, however he didn't manage to settle there and we are looking for someone to come and try and look after him at our home instead in the hope that he finds it more comfortable in his own environment. I need to be back working from December 2025, on Mondays and Thursdays, initially just from home, so we are looking for someone with availability on those days for about 4 hours each day inside of school hours. If/when he does settle with someone then there wouldn't be a need to stay at home, he'd be happiest out exploring.

Donna has looked after all 3 of my children since we were lucky enough to have got to know her in 2022. She has looked after them from various points from birth up to around 3.5, and the eldest is now 5.5 and still enjoys visiting her playgroup in the school holidays. She truly cares for all of the children she looks after and invites them into her warm and friendly family. She gets to know each of them individually and caters to their different personalities and characters, remembers their birthdays (even when they are too old to still be at hers), makes them feel special, keeps hand me downs for them if she thinks they'd like them, and much much more - there is a lot of attention to detail and warmth. Their home environment is cosy, clean and full of things to explore and they get to go out to all kinds of groups, with lots of being outside and getting mucky which they absolutely thrive on. We love that Donna has her own extended family around her, and that our kids get to be around multiple generations living together - it really creates that feeling of a home away from home. Thanks Donna
