This childminder looked after my 1 yr old for almost a yr one day a week. I believe my son never cried once when I left and was sad when it was time to go home. The activities were endless, park time and fun creative activities indoors. The children of this childminder have become incredibly good friends with my son. My son was not very good at napping and annemarie was incredibly patient in helping him get to sleep. I think patience must be one of her best qualities! I cannot recommend her highly enough. The only reason we stopped is that she had her second son and then in the period of maternity leave we started at nursery school.
