For my kids - they have always enjoyed their time with Claire. Over the years they have felt comfortable enough to confide in her on tough days they have had at school or when me and my husband separated. There were numerous in jokes and fun shared between them and it was great to come to the door to pick them up and hear the giggles and laughter coming from inside before I rang the doorbell.

For me - Claire has truly been phenomenal. I could not do what I had to do as a full time working Mum if I didn't know that my children were completely happy, safe and so well looked after by Claire. Both my children are asthmatic and have allergies so I was concerned when I first went to work full time that they would be ok. Claire was very reassuring and when it became apparent in time that both children would require Epi-pens with them, I always felt confident in Claire's ability to look after them should the worse ever happen whilst they were out. On looking back through my emails I can see the number of times I have thanked Claire for going, what I consider, absolutely above and beyond the call of duty and having the kids best interests at heart.

Claire invoices regularly so I could pay her easily each month and she has always been happy to try and fit in extra days if possible when I needed her when I was away travelling with work.

I cannot recommend Claire highly enough.
