Guisa is working with my son who is hyperactive and on autism spectrum. She is working with us for almost a year now. I am a single parent with no other family support. But after Gusia started working with us she made a huge difference in our life in a great positive way.
In her initial days my son wasn’t interactive with her, but she was very patient with him, tried to speak, and encouraged him to play. She has a great knowledge of food, minerals & nutrients. She guided me to understand them and encouraged me to make some changes in my son’s diet. The result was outstanding as I understood his lack of minerals is one of the reasons for his hyperactivity. The change in diet plan helped us to reduce my son’s hyperactivity. She takes him to her house and my son got attached to her husband too. There were days when my son wanted to be at her place and play with Gusia and her husband.
When I am at work she picks my son after school, feed him food, and goes out to parks or play areas. I completely trust her with my son. I highly recommend her for her professionalism in handling children, especially ASN needs children, patience, understanding & enthusiasm towards the children. She had a very clean house. She has become part of family to us now.

Thank you Anusha and I hope we shall have a long lasting relationship
We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Gusia as part of our family. She has been taking care of our son, who is on the autism spectrum, with an extraordinary level of patience, compassion, and professionalism. From the very beginning, she took the time to understand his unique needs, routines, and communication style, and she quickly built a trusting bond with him.
Her ability to create a calm, nurturing, and structured environment has made a huge difference in our son’s daily life. We’ve seen so much progress in his confidence, and overall well-being under her care. She doesn’t just look after him but she engages with him, encourages his growth, and celebrates his achievements, big or small.
Beyond her professional skills, Gusia is warm, reliable, and genuinely caring. We have always felt complete peace of mind knowing our son is in her hands. She has truly become an extension of our family, and words cannot fully express the gratitude we have for her dedication and love.
She has also been taking him to her house and both her husband and her take care of him and they have a lovely and clean house. I would recommend her very much

You've made my day. Thank you
Our experience with Agnieszka was extremely disappointing and unprofessional.
I would not recommend her services to anyone based on our own negative experience.
She did quit her job today,without prior notice or reasonable explanation, leaving us as working parents in difficult situation.

I have been very happy looking after your two daughters and we have enjoyed our cycling trips in the summer after my husband and I repaired your cycles to make them roadworthy. We also went by subway to botanical gardens and Kelvingrove gallery.
It's unfortunate their mother would not allow them to my home and that she felt unable to see what we offer in terms of settings, cleanliness and food.
I gave a month's notice about last Saturday course that coincided with one of my visits and needed to end our relationship as I work 5 days a week with autistic children and need the weekends free to restore my energy! Previously, mother cancelled 2 consecutive Saturdays so it became tricky to juggle my workloads.
