Loved, trusted, cherished.

As a first-time mum, the thought of leaving my 9-month-old daughter in the care of somebody else filled me with so much anxiety. That changed instantly the moment I met Son Son.

From the very beginning, her warm, caring and nurturing nature gave me an incredible sense of reassurance. She has such a wonderful ability to make children feel safe, loved and secure, while also encouraging them to explore, learn and grow.

Mabel has spent the last two and a half years with Son Son, surrounded by love, encouragement and a guiding voice that has supported everything we try to provide at home, and so much more. Every day has been filled with adventures, new experiences and opportunities to take on challenges, all with Son Son there to encourage and support her. Watching Mabel grow in independence, curiosity and resilience during this time has been so special.

Over the years, Son Son has become so much more than someone who cares for Mabel, she has become a friend to our whole family. We feel incredibly lucky to have found someone we trust so completely and who has become such a special part of our lives.

Choosing Son Son has genuinely been one of the best decisions we have made for Mabel so far. She has given Mabel so much love, encouragement and wonderful memories, while helping her become the happy, independent and curious little girl she is today.

I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. It is with real sadness that we now see Mabel move on to the next stage of her education, but we will always be incredibly grateful for everything Son Son has given her and for the special bond they have built.

Thank you, Son Son, for everything you have done for our little girl, and for becoming such a special part of our family’s journey. We will always cherish the memories and feel so lucky that our paths crossed. ❤️
