Trina started child-minding our 2 children nearly 3 years ago after she came very highly recommended. From the moment I met her, I knew that she was a genuinely kind and gentle lady. Our son was in primary school and our daughter was only 7 months old. Our kids settled in really well from the get-go as Trina provides a lovely home. Her gentle personality made us very comfortable leaving our precious kids in her care.

She has one-to-one interaction with the children, which is very important to us. She pays attention to the children's development and is always on hand to answer any questions. She always provides balanced meals for the children. Her house is always clean. One very admirable characteristic of Trina's is her gentle yet firm personality. She instills discipline in the children by teaching them to be polite, share and take turns with toys or books. She takes the children out to playgroups and farms. She provides fun activities such as crafts at home too.

What I loved the most was that she kept a ‘diary’ for our daughter to show us what she had eaten, where they went, how long her nap was and when she did or said new words. She also took pictures of her which she put in her diary. This really helped us know more about how our daughter was spending her day. It also re-assured us that she was in very good care and having fun. This I found was her unique style of child-minding.

And when she picks up our son after school, she provides after-school activities and meals too. She's very good with children of all ages.

Trina is reliable, trustworthy and passionate about what she does. Our children absolutely love and adore her.

Thank you for all the care and love you have given to our children, Trina. We are full of gratitude.

I would highly recommend Trina.
