Qualifications and experience
References
Lola cared for my two children for a while and my children absolutely loved her. She is a warm, calm, considerate and kind person. She always tries her best to keep the children happy and having fun. They usually bake together, draw, colour and play some music. They also go around museums to explore new things. I have never had any concerns when it came to leaving my children with Lola. They just love her.
Lola usually stays with my daughter and keeps her busy with activities. She always comes in with a big smile. She is kind, trustworthy, honest and absolutely lovely. She usually teaches my daughter how to play the piano and my daughter loves it. They also read stories and watch TV together. I would recommend Lola to all parents as she is just great with kids.

5.0“Lola has been amazing with our son. She was very friendly and warm to our son and he became comfortable with her very quickly. We spent an initial appointment all together to get our son to become familiar with Lola and when we left them alone in the bedroom we could hear him laughing and playing with her for over an hour. At the next appointment we left and she was able to put him to sleep in his bed and get him to fall asleep on his own without crying. We are very happy to have met her.”

Great feedback when I came home and only after she left did I notice she had done my dishes in the kitchen! Amazing! In the morning I asked the boys about Lola and they both gave me a big smile and said “brilliant, can she come again”.”
