Lyn has been a godsend! She started looking after our daughter soon after birth, when I needed a hand and a bit of a break. Our little one is now two and they have the most wonderful relationship! Lyn is very reliable, a great problem solver, and her positive outlook paired with years of experience leaves you feeling able to completely trust her skills/judgment, knowing that whatever she does is always in your child’s best interest. Also, when it comes to establishing routines or dealing with any behavioural challenges Lyn can work miracles with her consistent, calm but playful approach. I can wholeheartedly recommend Lyn, we are gutted that she is moving and we’ll miss her dearly!

Lyn has been with our family for close to two years now. She started off looking after my son for a few hours a day from when he was about 3 weeks old. It was wonderful having someone I trusted to relieve me so I could get some rest!
As Lyn was so brilliant, she also started looking after my 3 year old daughter. Both my kids absolutely adore Lyn. They get so excited when I tell them she is coming, and wait for her eagerly by the door, showering her with lots of hugs and kisses.
Lyn is dedicated, responsible and communicates well with the parent to make sure we are on the same page. She has a gentle (and magnificent!) way of maintaining order and discipline with the kids - teaching them responsibility for their behaviour and their belongings.
I trust her with the kids so much that I left her (and her nanny friend) with the kids while I went overseas for a month. Having a familiar, nurturing figure in Lyn helped to make the seperation so much easier for the kids.
I could not ask for a better nanny than Lyn, no reservations whatsoever!

Lyn came into our lives when we were looking for a short term nanny to look after our shy 3 year old son whilst he was waiting to go to nursery. In total she had him for 8 weeks, and what a difference those 8 weeks have made. Our son (who hated his last nursery hence we had to take him out) suddenly had a new lease of life. He used to love seeing Lyn. Every day was different for him and he came home in the evenings tired, but full of excitment about his day.
We could not have asked for a better nanny. Our only regret was that we did not find her earlier.

She focussed on activities that our son would like, and seemed very confident in dealing with a very shy boy. She was very gentle and encouraging and really brought him out of his shell. We met some of the other children she looked after- all of whom do not have a bad thing to say about Lyn.

I cannot recommend Lyn highly enough and happy to speak to anyone if you needed more information.
