She's an excellent and highly experienced carer who makes it look almost easy to look after a kid. Every day, we found our daughter in a happy mood and very calm after spending time with Fiona.

Thank you very much.

Fiona is wonderful!

5 stars

Fiona babysat for our two children (6 & 2yrs old) in our holiday apartment while we were at a birthday celebration. It was the first time our 2yr old had been looked after by a babysitter and it could not have gone more smoothly! 2yr old even woke up in the morning and asked where Fiona was! Thank you Fiona, for being a wonderful carer last Saturday night!

Glad everything went so smoothly for your birthday 🥰

Thanking Fiona

5 stars

Fiona made us feel very comfortable and at ease as parents who left their baby with someone for the very first time. She was professional the entire time with her communication, and could appreciate our nerves, and yet was helpful to us.

Thank you Fiona!

Thank you for the review.
Glad you managed to have some time together on your visit

Amazing!

5 stars

We found Fiona initially on this website when we needed some emergency childcare. We have since used her multiple time for adhoc childcare and babysitting (and will continue to do so). Fiona is an absolute delight and I couldn’t recommend her more. Our little one took to her immediately and is always so comfortable around her. We always feel in very safe hands. Thanks so much Fiona! Xx

Fiona

Excellent and reassuring babysitter

5 stars

Fiona has babysat for us on a number of occasions both day and evening and I always feel that we leave our son in very safe hands. He loves her and is happy to be left with her.
She keeps him well entertained, takes him for walks and plays with him and will feed and bath him, getting him down to bed with no issues.
Fiona is lovely and reassuring and we would highly recommend!

Reliable very experienced childminder

5 stars

Fiona was the best with my 2 y.o. son. I saw her profile and she messaged me very fast and gave me all information about her availability on this page. I had an event in Edinburgh and I needed a reliable and trustable childminder and she eased all my concerns. Her entire home environment is lovely, she immediately captured my son's attention and made him feel welcomed. She listened carefully to all the instructions for my child and she was messaging me telling me that my son was fine and when we felt asleep. If I lived next to her, she would be the indicated person to rely to my children 100%. She is a darling, her home is lovely, well adequated to care for children. I totally recommend her!
