More Than a Childminder

Reviewed

Returning to full-time work in November 2025 was one of the hardest transitions I have faced as a mother. From the moment my son was born in November 2024, I knew that choosing the right childcare would be one of the most important decisions of my life. As a first-time mother, the thought of leaving my baby five days a week filled me with anxiety, fear, and countless questions. I wanted more than just childcare. I wanted someone who would love my son, understand him, respect his rhythm, and care for him as if he were their own.

Initially, I focused my search on nurseries, thinking that a larger environment might be best for socialisation. But everything changed the moment I came across TeeCee’s profile. Seeing that she is bilingual in French and English immediately spoke to my heart. Raising my son in a bilingual environment is extremely important to me, not only for language development but also for identity, culture, and emotional expression. From our very first exchange, I felt a sense of peace and trust that is hard to put into words.

Meeting TeeCee confirmed everything I felt. There was no hesitation, no doubt, she was the person I wanted to care for my son. She is a truly exceptional woman: warm, gentle, patient, and deeply knowledgeable. From day one, she welcomed us with so much kindness and made us feel completely at home. She took the time to understand my son, to learn his needs, his habits, and his little personality, and she supported his transition with so much love and care.

The bilingual experience TeeCee offers has been incredibly special for us. My son is immersed naturally in both French and English, in a way that feels effortless and joyful. In just two months, his speech has developed beautifully in both languages, and his confidence has grown so much. Watching him understand, respond, and express himself in two languages at such a young age has been deeply moving for me as a mother.

Beyond his language development, the progress my son has made overall is remarkable. His motor skills have improved significantly, his curiosity has blossomed, and he is happier, more confident, and more secure. Today, he genuinely loves going to TeeCee. He looks for her when he is with me, calls her name, and is always excited to see her. That alone tells me everything I need to know.

TeeCee goes far beyond what you would ever expect from a childminder. She is flexible, open-minded, and always willing to support parents, even at short notice. She listens, reassures, and works in true partnership with families. Her care is not just professional it is deeply human.

For us, TeeCee is no longer just a childminder; she has become part of our family. Entrusting her with my son has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. I am endlessly grateful for her love, her patience, and her dedication. Any family lucky enough to have TeeCee care for their child will truly be blessed.
