Meeting Lyndsey has meant we have finally found someone from outside immediate family to babysit for my 2 boys. Her experience means she is very calm, reassuring and knowledgeable, especially regarding the additional support that autistic children need. She was happy to meet both boys before, to start to build connections with them - they were both very happy to play and are looking forward to seeing her again! I would highly recommend Lyndsey, especially if you are a SEND parent.
Overall
We meet Lyndsey before our arranged babysit and were reassured by her vast knowledge, experience and proof of qualifications and safeguarding/DBS checks. We have three children. B 10 months, B 3.5 years and G 7 who has autism. The children warned to her immediately and she confidently managed there various age ranges and needs. We haven’t had a babysitter before apart from family. Lyndsey has babysat three times now and we will continue to book her for any future events. It’s evidently clear my children love her warm and friendly disposition and we feel 100% at ease enjoying our date nights once again.
