Bernadette has been looking after our 8 month old son Jacob for several weeks now following my return to work, and he is absolutely thriving! Despite all my first-time-mum angst, tears and worries about going back to work and leaving him, Bernadette has been a tower of strength with endless patience, and in just a few short weeks has managed to get my previously fussy son to eat properly and even self-soothe on occasions! He never fusses when his daddy drops him off in the morning, and is always super-smiley and giggly when I pick him up, clearly having had a fabulous time!

Bernadette is a wonderful and loving mother to her three gorgeous sons, and treats the children in her care as if they were members of her own family. Both she and her assistance Grace have made my transition back to work almost effortless (almost!), and keep me updated at all times, not even complaining when I check up on Jake for the umpteenth time during the day!

Thanks to both Bernadette and Grace for being the most amazing carers to my special little boy, and a great friend to me in the last few weeks, and for the forseeable future xxx
