Well what can I say about Carla. She is an amazing woman. Looking for a childminder that you feel comfortable with and can trust to look after my child was a fear of mine. Moment we met her gentleness and soulful aura I was drawn too. So I knew I chose the right one. My daughter has been with Carla since 2022. I couldn't ask for a more attentive, nurturing person. She has become a second mother to daughter. Ja'vaeyah has amazing relationship with her and her daughters. She is treated like family and has been invited to various family and Christmas events. Many times I have had last minute inconveniences, she is always steps into action. Her home is absolutely beautiful and spotless. After school she provides a hot meal that Ja'vaeyah loves. Very down to earth and welcoming lady. I don't just consider Carla my child minder, I consider her family now. We have a developed a great relationship over the years. ❤️. I know that Ja'vaeyah is in good hands and never have any concerns about her well being. My daughter absolutely loves her. I also recommended Carla to my neighbour who's daughter is in the same class as Ja'vaeyah. I also believe that God brings people into your life and I know she definitely sent by him. Just like her business is called she truly a Guardian Angel. I cannot thank her enough. She goes above and beyond. Her prices are very reasonable too.
She is really responsible and behave very well with my daughter. I am sure she bahaves very nice with my daughter.
My daughter likes Carla because of her nice behaviour and delicious food that gives her after nursery.
As a working mother, finding a reliable and trustworthy childminder for my daughter Jameelah was always a top priority. I wanted someone who could provide a nurturing and safe environment for my child while I was at work. Little did I know that my search for the perfect childminder would lead me to Carla's Child Minding Services, a truly out-of-this-world experience.
From the moment I met Carla, I was impressed by her warm and welcoming demeanor. a sense of genuine care and passion for working with children. As a mother herself, she understood the importance of providing a nurturing and stimulating environment for young minds.
One of the things that stood out to me about Carla was her attention to detail. She took the time to understand Jameelah's personality, interests, and needs. This helped her tailor her services to meet my daughter's unique requirements. From arranging fun and educational activities to preparing healthy meals, Carla went above and beyond to ensure Jameelah was happy and well-cared for.
Carla's childminding services were not just limited to basic care. She also placed a strong emphasis on the social and emotional well-being of the children in her care. She encouraged them to play and interact with each other, promoting important skills such as sharing, communication, and empathy. I could see the positive impact this had on Jameelah, who became more confident and sociable under Carla's guidance.
What truly sets Carla's services apart is her dedication and commitment to her job. She treated each child as if they were her own, and I could see the genuine love and affection she had for them. Her services were not just a job to her, but a true passion. This was evident in the way my daughter would run to her with a big smile every morning, excited for another day at Carla's.
In addition to her exceptional care, Carla also provided a safe and secure environment for the children. Her home was always clean and well-maintained, with all necessary safety measures in place. I had complete peace of mind knowing that my daughter was in good hands.
As a parent, it can be challenging to leave your child in someone else's care. But with Carla, I never had to worry. She was always accessible, providing regular updates and communication throughout the day. I truly appreciated this level of transparency and communication, which allowed me to go about my day without any distractions or worries.
I cannot recommend Carla's Child Minding Services enough. She was truly the best childminder for my daughter Jameelah. Her services were not just exceptional; they were out of this world. I am forever grateful to Carla for providing a loving and nurturing environment for my daughter, allowing me to pursue my career with peace of mind. She is a true model of excellence in the world of childminding, and I am lucky to have found her.
