My Summary
About Me
I'm a mature, fun loving 52 year old lady who lives in Fulwood with my husband and my Labrador
My Experience
I trained as a chef at college after leaving school and got my City and Guilds, but the desire for looking after and being with children took over. So, at the age of 19 I started off nannying for a family of three children, the youngest 10 weeks old. Since then, I've worked for various different families and nationalities, I am a key holder to 3 different premises at this present moment in time.
I am passionate about motivating children in a fun structured way, at the same time making sure that the children feel safe, happy and comfortable. I have good judgement whilst being attentive to the safety of all around me.
In May 2019 I attended an Epilepsy Awareness Course at Royal Preston Hospital.

Lisa is extremely trustworthy, reliable, takes it in her stride looking after babies and children. I can leave my little one with her and not need to worry at all! Her dogs, Bob & George, are super friendly and seem to love babies.
She goes out of her way to make the time rewards, entertaining, relaxing.. I could go on.
Thank you Lisa for being such a star.

Lisa has been the Part time Nanny/Babysitter for our daughter for over 18 mths. My daughter calls her ‘MummyPink’ because she couldn’t say ‘Lisa’ when she came on board.
The connection she makes with my daughter is wonderful. Lots of outdoor play, dog walks, swimming, crafts, park, cooking, baking and having general fun and giggles. Plus lots of cuddles and snuggles when needed.
Lisa is a key holder for our home and she manages the ‘Entertainment’ Budget!
Lisa takes time to add the special touches like getting our daughter to make chocolate marzipans for our Christmas present from her.
Lisa has been very proactive in helping develop our daughters grammar, sentence structure and manners. She has also helped her develop her eating and table
Skills.
Whilst this all sounds very strict, disciplined and matronly - it really isn’t. Our daughter finds it fun!
Lisa presents in a very child friendly way. (Usually with a flutter of hot pink! - hence MummyPink). She is solid in character and experience. She has her own equipment if you don’t want her to use yours. She drives a modern strong car which gives me great comfort when she takes our daughter out and about on the roads.
Her can do attitude makes life very easy. I don’t have to plan food and suggest activities- it’s all done.
She keeps a lovely home for herself and our daughter likes to have tea there on the way home from swimming.
Lisa usually sends pictures during the day of activities that our daughter is doing with her and always does a 5-10 minute handover of the days/afternoons activities and any issues or concerns that she may have.

Lisa is very professional. She has looked after my daughter on and off since she was 3. She was the first babysitter I used so my daughter was in tears when I left her in the house with someone she didn’t know for the first time, but 5 minutes later, I was getting photos of her enjoying playing with Lisa and messages telling me everything is fine which was very reassuring. Every time Lisa babysat for me, she sent me regular updates of how things were going, which I found very thoughtful.
Lisa also helped my daughter get over her dog phobia by sharing tips with her which she was very proud to demonstrate back to me every time we walked past a dog! This was not something I asked her to do, so Lisa was proactive in helping my daughter.
Lisa has also gone out of her way to accommodate my last minute requests, and has never said no even if that meant driving from the airport to my place when she was returning from holidays, or moving other jobs around to fit me in.
I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a reliable, professional and knowledgeable babysitter.

She is a fantastic baby-sitter. She is very careful and precise. We always trust her and the baby loves her. She helped us even for several hours of our absence, providing the best attentions to our daughter. We absolutely suggest to ask for her services.

Overall
We employ Lisa one day per week to take care of our now 13 month old little boy, Daniel. Lisa has a lovely way with our son, she is gentle and comforting whilst also being great fun, and Daniel always has a great time with Lisa. She is punctual and reliable, and will go above and beyond what is expected, even walking our two Labradors together with Daniel! We don’t employ Lisa to do extra duties such as cleaning, washing etc., but nevertheless she will always try to help out around the house, and when I come home from work in the evening the house is always nice and tidy! Lisa is a caring, responsible person who I trust completely to take great care of our son. I would thoroughly recommend Lisa to anybody looking for a nanny for their child or children.
