We have been using the childminding services of Debbie since September 2010 and it has been and still is the best experience for us, she treats our kids as her own, always giving them gifts and taking them to different places and doing different activities. The kids are always very excited to see her in the mornings and dont want to leave in the evenings. Thank you very much for your excellent work Debbie. From Dwayne n Fam!!!!!!
