Lisa was a godsend to our family and worked for us in London from 2006-2009. Lisa came to our family during a period of complete chaos: we had three small kids (a newborn, a 2- and a 4-year old) and on the weekends and holidays, my two older step-children, 16 and 13.

Lisa is calm and steady in chaotic situations—ultimately trustworthy and capable. She brings a love of life and a sense of fun to her work while understanding the importance of structure and boundaries for kids. She offers very clear boundaries to children in a kind, accessible way. Lisa is a simply amazing and we were very sad to leave her when we moved from London to California.
