Lisa has looked after my son from the age of 9 months until just recently. My son is turning 3 next week. Due to my husband's and my work comitments Lisa was was very accommodating and flexible to our needs. I always felt that my son was looked after in a loving and safe environment. She is a credit to her profession and would recommend her to anyone requiring childcare. Its only due to job changes that I dont need her services at the moment, but should this change I would most certianly request his return to her.

Ah you'll all be very welcome back, your children were are a delight xxxx
Lisa was childminder to my two girls one 11 years and 11 months. They were only with lisa a month as I decided I wanted to stay home with the baby. However my girls loved Lisa and she was very kind and caring. Especially as they became unwell. Lisa was flexible and understanding. I wish good luck and hope she finds someone to replace us ASAP.
