Shona is reliable, professional, and so loving!

5 stars

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We feel so lucky to have found Shona! She is amazing with our one year old baby boy, Misha, and her warmth and patience shine through in everything she does.
Misha lights up when she comes, and it’s clear she cares for him like her own. They have a lot of fun together.
Shona is reliable, professional, and incredibly loving.
She’s become part of our family, and we can’t recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for an exceptional nanny!
