I found Lee while looking for some childcare help during our summer holiday in Sandbanks, near Bournemouth, in August (2016). I had just become a mother for the 2nd time and was extremely nervous about going on holiday with 2 children so soon after the birth of my 2nd son. Max was nearly 3 years old and Toby was just 2 months old. Lee was a god-send! She came to visit us on our first day in our holiday home to see if this was going to work out; and immediately formed a bond with my older child - who can be quite difficult when he wants to be. I was extremely relieved, as I was exhausted from dealing with the 2 of them. I just needed someone to come in and take my older child in hand, so that I could concentrate on my newborn. Lee did this in spades and Max adored her from the word go! Lee also really enjoyed helping me with Toby too... and being pregnant herself, it was lovely to see her form such a bond with him. I couldn't recommend Lee highly enough. She was amazing, from taking Max on adventures around the area by herself , to accompanying me and the children on our days out, making the experience fun and really helping me to cope with the new experience of being a mother of 2!! She even took the the 2 of them off for the day giving me a complete break, and babysat for me and my husband so we could have a night off. I would completely trust Lee with my children and can't wait to see her next summer holiday and meet her new little girl.
