Debbie has been looking after my 2 children (1 and 5) for a little over a year now. She's an experienced child carer who is brilliant at talking to kids so they understand. I don't know how she does it, but she manages to play with both kids at once even if they're both doing different things. At the end of the day the kids are calm and peaceful. Debbie is quick to notice new things the kids do, whether they are unwell, what they are interested in. She keeps on top of school letters, dates, uniform and so on. Debbie is patient and kind, plays with the kids and is always thinking of new craft and cooking activities (including making cakes for when I get home from work!). She takes the kids to playgroup, the park, the nature centre etc. Debbie keeps the house clean and tidy and manages to find time to run small errands as needed. Debbie is amazingly reliable, punctual and committed. Most importantly she cares about the children and they are happy with her.
