FANTASTIC CHILDMINDER
Hello my name is Laurie and I have known Lynne (little Learners1) for a few years now since she started to look after my son from 9 months old and he was 4 years old. Before I had my son, talking to my neighbour about finding a child-minder for my brother’s baby, they recommended Lynne. I asked Lynne but she had no vacancies. My first thought which is the best one was that she was really nice easy to talk to. When I did have my son I had his name down at a local nursery but couldn’t get him in for a few months. I thought I should ask Lynne to see if she was available at this time and she was. I was invited around to go over details when he would be starting and when he was going to the nursery. Lynne’s home was very welcoming and made me feel at home. The next time I went around I brought my son to see if he would be happy and most important that he would bond with Lynne. They did which brought a smile on my face and that made me feel relieved that he would be happy. After a few times going it was the time to leave him for a bit without me there to see how he would react. I must say I cried walking home thinking oh no what if….but there wasn’t a what if I went back and he was as happy and content as I left him, I was a happy mummy. After a few months my son being with Lynne I had a place at the nursery and I had a decision to make, I asked Lynne if she would be happy to carry on looking after him and she was so pleased that I asked her, and was hoping I would. As time went by and my son is growing up Lynne and I became friends. Lynne is the type of person who you just get to know and love. There are many endless activities that she does with the children i.e. days out when we have nice weather, from paintings to making and baking when the weather is not so nice. The time came for my son to start school and I was then looking for a child-minder to pick him up because Lynne had a school on the other side where he will be going and she possibly couldn’t do it. she recommended Denise (neecey) because my son had known her from being a baby and that she would be more than happy to do so. As a parent and a worrier I would highly recommend Lynne to look after your child/children, my son wouldn’t be the boy he is today with the help and love that Lynne gave him. He is so happy when they see each other and always has a big smile on his face. He wouldn’t be like that if he felt unhappy being at Lynne’s.
