When my maternity leave ended and I went back to full-time work, I was so anxious about finding childcare for my 1-year-old. I visited so many settings that seemed fine, but nothing felt right. I was honestly considering giving up work because I couldn’t bear leaving him.

Then someone recommended Jusna. From the moment my husband and I visited, we knew. Jusna has the most warm, nurturing, and loving personality. My son, who was still fully breastfed and so attached to me, walked in and immediately started playing with the toys she had out for him.

Because of my nerves, we started with just one day a week. Within a couple of weeks he was asking for "Aunty" and we moved him to full-time — the best decision I’ve ever made.

Under Jusna’s care, he has blossomed into such a bright, confident little boy. She constantly encourages him to be his best. He runs to her house every morning, asks for her all weekend, and knows every member of her family by name. They truly feel like family to us.

Every day is planned with purpose: library trips, stay and play, parks, picnics, and so many creative activities at home. She’s so hands-on. Even his naps improved — he now happily sleeps for 2 hours with her, which he always struggled with before.

It breaks my heart that he’s leaving, because I know how much he will miss Jusna and her family. Thank you for looking after us with so much love and care. You didn’t just become his childminder, you became his "Aunty."

With so much gratitude,
