Giselle looked after my two children (3 and 1) for one week while their usual childcare wasn't available. We were very reluctant to hire a 'stranger', but Giselle made a good impression when we met her and her referee was happy to talk to us and answer all of our questions. Giselle looked after my two very well. She took them out and did various activities with them, including blackberry picking and playing in the playground, and also played with them at home. She prepared meals for them, using either our meal suggestions or her own recipes. The children were very happy with Giselle, and still ask about her. I also appreciated the fact that Giselle was very responsive whenever we contacted her.

If we didn't already have a childminder we would choose Giselle as our nanny without hesitation.
