We started using Marisa when we needed to supplement our little one’s nursery days with a childminder as he was struggling with the size of the class in his current setting. We’d used her for babysitting one night previously and as part of that she’d come to meet our little boy. She mentioned she ran a childcare too and when we starting having challenges with our existing arrangements we reached out to her immediately as we needed to change things and it was causing us a lot of stress and worry. Our little one has SEN needs with speech and language delays and struggles in new ways environments. Marisa took him in 2-days a week and he has blossomed and it had made out entire lives so much easier and happier. Mark loves going to Marisa’s house and she’s kindly taking him in an extra day some weeks over the summer and has helped when we had a last minute emergency request. We cannot fault her and he is absolutely thriving in her care. We wish we’d taken this step earlier as we see how much happier our son is every day and the impact it is having on him and us is wonderful. When he goes to school we will definitely be reaching out for babysitting/to see if there is availability over school holidays as he’s so happy there.
