Christine has initially childminded 2 of my children, then just the younger one, over a period of nearly 4 years. I work shift pattern that's different from week to week and Christine has always been happy to offer us the flexibility of childcare this required. On a number of occasions she has picked up my daughter from school even when I forgot to let her know I needed that - always looking out for the kids in her care. I could trust her to make sure my daughter was not left waiting! Whenever there was anything out of ordinary - Christine needed to go shopping and take the children with her - she always made sure to contact me and let me know about it, should I object. Not that I did. Christine takes safety of children seriously and has a caring nature. She's been wonderful, understanding and great help in our super hectic life.
