Our son Sam has been with Lisa since he turned 11 months old, and we just adore her. Lisa is kind, caring, calm, attentive and lots of fun. I was very nervous about settling Sam in as I headed back to work, and Lisa made the transition so incredibly easy. Throughout the settling in period, Lisa sent little messages and photos of Sam laughing and playing so I could feel involved and reassured Sam was doing just fine. She still sends me messages and photos, and they are one of the highlights of my day. Sam has thrived in Lisa's care. He is more adventurous and confident and just loves being with Lisa, her family and the other children. In the morning he runs off to join the other kids and only comes back to wave bye-bye before he is off again. We are moving soon and very sadly will have to find a new situation for Sam. Sam, my husband and I will miss Lisa very much. We strongly recommend her to other families looking for a childminder. We wish we could take her with us.
