We used Sandra for around 2 year and she was a lovely lady.
Nothing was too much trouble for her. My child was safe and secure in a clean warm home environment.
Although my child is fussy Sandra still offered meals and snacks daily.
Sandra treats your children as they were family which is one of the best things about her.
