Monica looked after our youngest daughter, Caity, for almost 2 years. She poured a lot of love and care into creating a special relationship with Caity and into fostering firm friendship bonds between all the children in the group. Monica has been a great source of support for our family. We found her to be reliable, organised and creative in the way she engaged the children in a variety of planned activities each day. We received a daily report on the activities Caity had participated in, her eating and sleeping routines and photos when there was something really good to share. She also followed an evening routine which ensured Caitlyn was calm and relaxed and facilitated an easy transfer to her "home & bed routine". Monica further helped us during holiday time by taking on our oldest daughter, allowing the sisters to stay together and making life a lot easier for us as parents during these periods.
Monica's exceptional skills as a childminder have been affirmed through the multiple reports we received over the years from impressed friends and other parents who have observed Monica with the children in outings around the local neighbourhood. Everyone always has a positive comment about the interactions taking place and the diligence and attention she provides and this has always been very reassuring to hear. We highly recommend Monica and feel that you will be truly lucky to have her as part of your children's lives.
