Richard is warm and supportive and helped by taking my 11 year old with autism to school. My son is sensitive and Richard has been warm and reassuring for him.
He is friendly and intelligent as well as being a fantastic and reliable help with Dylan. He is also a lovely person and we had great chats with him.

Richard started looking after our daughter when she was four months old, working up to my return to work full time when she was six months old. I cannot recommend Richard highly enough. He was reliable, warm, empathic, kind and caring. He very quickly formed a solid bond with our daughter and was instrumental in easing my return to work and separation from our little girl. He was very good at coming up with ways to keep her entertained and engaged. Richard always used careful, positive language to support the baby's development with a keen sense of how to build positive self esteem and an appropriate level of independence - with kindness and care. The role ended when it was time for our daughter to go to nursery / as my working hours increased.

Richard looked after our toddler son, after we urgently needed childcare help, as neither my wife not I could stay at home during the day for almost half a year. Richard did a lot while he stayed with our son, as he would change and clean him up in the morning (our son normally got up after Richard arrived in the flat), he'd finish preparing his breakfast and lunch meals and was very effective at having our son finish those meals. Needless to say, he also had to deal with soiled nappies, and after lunch, he took him to the nursery. Richard delighted our son with songs he played and sang, but he also taught him things we hadn't even asked, e.g. how to put on his shoes and how to climb down the stairs. All in all, Richard's help was exactly what we needed!

Richard has looked after my son for a while now - he picks him up from primary school two or three days a week, they go to the park or library, read, play games, have a snack together until we are back from work. He's been really reliable, is kind and patient and my son is really happy spending time with him.

Richard is an excellent babysitter and I would highly recommend him.
He is friendly and very reliable and our 3-year old son loves having him around. He even has all of his food when Richard is with him.

Richard is an attentive child minder and my 10 year old twins loved having him as their after school care. He is fun and friendly and there was a strong connection between my children and Richard. My children found him to be great fun and would say that he has been their favourite child minder to date!

My 13 year old daughter and 11 year old son had a delightful time with Richard, going about Glasgow several hours a day for a week while I was working.
