I don't usually do this but i i'd like to say a great big thank you to Sharon.

She has been looking after my little boy for the best part of a year now, and every day is an adventure for him. He comes home telling stories of what he has learnt, where he's been, what he's done, etc every day.
We sought out a childminder that could look after Taylor whilst we both worked, and although I was a little apprehensive about the post(only because I didnt like the idea of someone else bringing my son up i might add)Sharon just fits into our life perfectly.

She takes the children far and wide, from adventures in Delemere Forest, to day trips to Knowsley Safari Park, or a picnic in the park or our local play centre Prendoolys. And to top it off hes learning as he goes, he can now understand and 'speak' in Sign Language! Yep, you read that right, he can Sign!! He paints pictures, makes things with leaves, pasta; all the things you expect but don't get from a nursery! And she keeps a diary of everything, she can tell you what he did, on what day and what he learnt at each stage...incredible that she can fit it in...i imagine late nights at the kitchen table.

She makes home cooked meals, her house is immaculate and extremely child friendly, and to be fair she's never given me any reason from day one to regret seeking her out.

Im only sad that were nearing the end of our sons' time with her as he starts school in September. The only reason I'm writing this is to help more local parents gravitate towards her, if you're looking for someone who will care for your child like she has mine then jump in, you will not find better around...believe me, we've looked!! So thanks Sharon, I hope you'll see this and smile, we appreciate every thing you've done for us and especially Taylor.

We will all miss you,

Mark
