Teecee is a very kind, understanding person who really helped us look after our 5 month old when we needed it (around 4/5 days over 3/4 weeks). She accommodated last minute bookings and communicated well. I forgot nappies and there was no complaints about her having to go get some (and be reimbursed). She showed love to our baby. Home was very clean, tidy and warm.

On the other side of this, our baby came home with heat rash after being put to sleep inside in a pram suit. Tv was always on at pick up and drop off and she came home with a red bum. I don’t believe any of this was intentional at all and I did provide clearer instructions after these instances but didn’t feel like they were all completely met. This is my first baby so I am more protective but I’m also in the childcare area of work myself so I have a lot of understanding on how things can get forgotten. The bus to get home at the end of the day (328) was also very irregular and busy and it made a 20min journey home, an hour journey. After all of the above we just weren’t 100% confident leaving our baby there and we have now hired a nanny instead.

Overall Teecee has great intentions and shows a lot of love but needs parents that will be more upfront and clearer about what’s ok and what’s not rather than it being hidden in a message such as “we notice she runs hot so doesn’t need many layers on inside” as it wasn’t understood and came home with heat rash again.

Thank you for your feedback. It was a pleasure caring for your little one and being able to support your family when childcare was urgently needed.

I am really surprised to read some of the concerns mentioned, as they were not raised with me during care. I always follow the guidance given by parents to ensure each child’s comfort; any preferences you did share were carefully followed and adjusted once mentioned.

Open and honest communication is very important to me. Every child is unique, and I value working closely with parents to provide the best care possible. I always welcome clear feedback so that I can adapt accordingly.

I’m glad you found my home clean, loving, and welcoming, and I wish you and your family all the best moving forward.
