Beyond a Childminder — Truly Like Family

Adriana looked after our 2-year-old daughter, Eleana, on 23/1, 18/3 and 22/5, and also cared for our 6-week-old baby on 22/5 while my wife and I attended courses at LGI. We honestly could not have asked for a kinder and more thoughtful childminder.

She has always been incredibly lovely, patient and flexible with timings, which meant so much to us as busy working parents. From the moment Eleana became familiar with her, she was always so smiley and happy around Adriana, which gave us great reassurance. Adriana also treated our newborn with such gentleness and care.

What touched us most was her kindness and empathy towards our family. Despite already charging a very affordable rate of only £5/hour, Adriana kindly gave us a further discount from the second visit onwards. Her generosity and big heart truly moved us, and we gave her a big hug before leaving yesterday.

Even though we have only known each other for a short time, Adriana treated us like close friends or family. We truly felt cared for and supported by her, and we genuinely could not have asked for more.

We are extremely grateful for all her help and support. Whenever we are in Leeds and need childcare support, Adriana will definitely be the first person we contact again, and we are already looking forward to seeing her again in November.

Thank you so much, Adriana!
