My Summary
About Me
As a childminder I aim to provide your child a safe, warm and welcoming home-based environment.Through a wide range of activities and resources children will be encouraged to express themselves in a positive manner, develop independence and be challenged to maximize their potential. Due to being based in an excellent location, we can enjoy library visits, parks, animal farm trips, and much more. We also have the pleasure to be able to provide an outdoor space where children are able to play and enjoy the fresh air.

Mona looked after our daughter just before she turned one for a few months until she started nursery. She is a wonderful carer. Our daughter quickly formed a lovely bond with Mona and has had such a happy time. Mona has taken her to local libraries, trips to the park, playground, and museums as well providing an array of music and art activities at home. There is always a range of fresh, home cooked and nutritious meals. Our daughter has had all the care, nurture, and support we could have wished for and we were very sorry that her time with Mona was so brief. We feel incredibly lucky to have met such a wonderful person to look after our child.

Mona is by far the best childminder I’ve ever met in my life. I trust Mona a million percent with the care and safety of my DD, and choosing Mona was the best decision I ever made.
As a parent that works long and unsociable hours, Mona is extremely flexible, understanding, reliable and a very caring person.
My DD has been with Mona for over 2 years, and she always has something lovely to say about Mona and the other children that Mona cares for.
Mona is truly an angel and a very special part of our family. I could honestly write a book on the amazing experience and service I’ve received from Mona because that’s how amazing she is!
I would highly recommend Mona!!!!

Mona took on my son very last minute, emergency childcare of sorts. Very clear communication. She is lovely, friendly and my son got on well with her. Plenty of updates given during the day, along with pictures. I could tell my son had the best time with her. Would definitely ring Mona again whenever we are back in London.

Mona booked us in last minute as our sitter has been away and from start Mona corresponded promptly and friendly and was also very helpful in directing us to her house as had never been there before. The house is lovely secured and is child proofed with upto date security surveillance and many engaging toys and activities for children to partake and indulge in along. Homecooked spaghetti was also nice and healthy.
Mona was friendly and professional, updating me with how my daughter was doing and sending pics/video which was very lovely and reassuring.
My daughter enjoyed staying there and also getting to know the other children as Mona had similar aged child. She especially enjoyed playing with the family kitten and said she would return.
I would definitely recommend Mona.

Needed a last minute babysitter for our 13 month old baby, and Mona helped us out massively. Couldn't be happier and she's so sweet! I was worried as I've never been online to get a babysitter, but Mona spoke to me throughout and gave me updates too.

I have used Mona and Sebastien as a childminder since my son was a year old. He is now 9. From the first time i met Mona and her family they were warm and welcoming and i liked her right away so did my children. It was a bonus that she has 3 children similar to my childrens age and they all get on very well. Mona used to also care for my older daughter, who Sebastien helped get her a job at his company last year.
Mona is very flexible to my needs, provides a brillent service and my son loves to spend time there with Mona and the other children she cares for. Would not know what to do without her as she is a great help to my needs.

Mona is the best in the whole of South East London!
I have known her for years, she looked after my older kids and still does with the younger ones. With Mona, I have always had peace of mind. Zero worries.
I trust Mona with all my children 1000%
She is a core professional, highly meticulous and very caring.
Mona is solid gold and it is an absolute blessing to have met her.
Thank you ever so much Mona!
Please, please and please do not hesitate to engage her services. You will be more than glad you did.

My boys spent the day with Mona very last minute as we were let down by our babysitter and we had never used Mona before. The house is well set up for children with many activities for the children along with outside space. Mona was very helpful and the boys enjoyed their day with her. We would definitely recommend her.

Prompted her on last minute notice (24 hours notice) and she accepted the offer. She has a nice and spacious home for kids (like a nursery to me) and my son loves her and her place so much. Won't hesitate to get her again in the future. Absolute first class service. 🙂👌
