My Summary
About Me
One of my previous Mums says this about me:
"We will no longer need our Mary Poppins after August, so we are reluctantly allowing her to take her magic carpet bag to another family.
Lisa has looked after our toddler on a regular basis, and up to five days per week at times, and has been a great companion and carer for him.
She is reliable, prompt and flexible and totally trustworthy. Equally importantly, she is caring and playful and has always been keen to introduce our son to new activities, particularly in arts and crafts. She has also taken him on a wide variety of outings and excursions, so that he has had a really interesting range of experiences whilst in her care.
She is responsive to instructions as to diet and routine, and is able to feed back comprehensively.
I feel she genuinely cares deeply for our son and I would not hesitate to recommend her."
I look forward to hearing from you.
Lisa <3

We can highly recommend Lisa after she took great care of our baby when he was very young (3 months plus) and our older boy just adored her. She's very caring and great at entertaining, and knows exactly what she's doing. Just brilliant.

Awww, thank you Sarah! I wish you luck finding your perfect after-school Nanny.
Meeting Lisa has been a joy from the beginning. She is exceptionally easy to get along with, confident, knowledgeable, ethical and easy to be with. She has been great with my little boy, since the first time she met him. I also love lisa’s approach to childcare. Plus, she seems very experienced in a range of tasks and situations. I always enjoy when Lisa is nannying for us, she has made life a lot easier!

This is so lovely! Thank you Charlie :)
We hired Lisa to take care of our baby, but due to a change in my circumstance we had to change plans. We would have loved to have had her as our nanny. she is incredibly kind, caring and fun - always looking for fun activities to entertain. She was engaging and attentive with our baby. I couldn't recommend her more highly.

Thanks so much Sarah. I'm sorry it didn't work out.
I met with Lisa with a view to her taking care of my two children. The only reason I didn't go ahead was that family are able to help us instead.
I have seen Lisa 'on the job'. She is child focused and not on her phone! I liked how she is inventive with games to encourage eating and genuine with her liking children.

Thanks Ella!
Lisa has looked after my children (aged 21 and 7 months) on several occasions and I always feel entirely confident leaving them in her care. She is a real child magnet - little ones gravitate towards her - and extremely patient, highly creative, warm and fun. You'd be very lucky to have her!

Thanks Kate!
We really enjoyed interacting and interviewing Lisa. She is professional and an excellent communicator, and we also are impressed by her varied experience and work with disabled children. Sadly the timing did not work out but we wish her all the best.

Awww, thank you Caroline!
We interviewed Lisa and did a full half day trial with her and I found her to be fantastic. She has a natural way with children - my youngest was very at ease with her and she has such a loving way with him. She was fun with my eldest, playing on the trampoline. She is clearly very bright and I would be happy having her help with homework.
A friends nanny became available at the last minute but this is the only reason we didn't ask her to be our nanny. I would recommend her without hesitation. Happy for people to Message me to verify this.

We interviewed 'MaryPopp' for a nanny position, but have since decided to take up a nursery option which will work better for our family. We found her to be very friendly and competent. She would make a great nanny for any family.

Lisa is amazing. She is professional, reliable and really cares for the children in her care.
Lisa has been working with us for almost a year, looking after Brodie (from 9 months) and Heather (from 2 years). She really is Mary Poppins and every day has a new activity up her sleeve to keep the kids entertained. She has also made eating vegetables fun, which has helped make sure that the kids have a great healthy and varied diet.
I would highly recommend Lisa.

Awww, thank you Jodi. I'll be so sad to leave you all!
We met Lisa for an interview and trial session with our two babies. She was friendly, positive and professional with us and warm, loving and engaging with the kids. We were faced with a tough decision between two excellent candidates and reluctantly did not end up hiring Lisa but we felt sure she would have made an excellent nanny.
