Shona has been babysitting for us for the last 4 months and the kids(3 & 8) absolutely love her. She is always doing fun activities with them and they never want her to leave.
Shona is always on time and communication is very good.
We are so happy we found her, she is fantastic and we never have to worry when we go out.

Thank you ☺️

We have been using Shona for about 4 months now, for a monthly date night/break from the kids. She works very hard with our two boys (10, 7). The kids love her and look forward to her arrival. Shona is very engaging with them does lots of games, arts and crafts. So much that they don't miss the loss of their usual playing on tablet time. She goes above and beyond helping them tidy their bedrooms (definitely was not on the Job description).

She is pleasant to chat with, and punctual and replies quickly to booking enquiries. I have no problems recommending her and have to say it has made a massive whirl of difference to us as a couple being able to have some social time together. Thank you so much Shona

We have been using Shona since the beginning of February to look after our son Archie, who at the Time was just 10 weeks !
She is amazing! With Archie being so young I was very nervous about leaving him. It she has proven to be a great asset to us.
She sings, plays and spends real quality time with him.
I walk out knowing he will be just fine. She has a lovely bubbly personality which we love too. We will continue to use Shona in the future. She is brilliant 🤩

Cannot recommend Shona enough, she is absolutely amazing with the kids. Our boys adore her and are very excited when she is coming over to babysit. Keeps children entertained, activities , games lots of fun stuff that children need. Great communication from the beginning from arranging first sit, to now regular sits. We have two young boys who are wild at times, very obvious Shona has experience children of all ages and keeps our two boys very happy and occupied.

Shona babysat for us when we were visiting family in Glasgow. We were a little nervous to leave our 1 year old with someone we didn’t know, however Shona had a phone call with us before and made us feel so reassured that we were in very safe hands. She is warm, friendly and clearly very experienced with children, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
