My son has really taken to her.
Holly is lovely and responsible too.
Lucas tried to take the Mick and go to the park on his walk back from the bus stop (he's too old to be met off the bus, it would be embarrassing for him and negatively impact his socialisation/lead to bullying) whilst holly was waiting at the house, she checked with me if he was allowed to do that, suspecting he wasn't.
Then promptly called him, and I texted him from work. She had no issues upholding the punishment I set in place until I finished work, then got him to do his homework at the appointed time.
When I got back they were happily building Lego in his room.
I have no doubt that Lucas will not be able to trick her again and knows that she is an extension of our rules and respects her.
He enjoys spending time with her and they had a lovely afternoon after school.
She is able to pass on how their day has been and what they have done to our other babysitter/childminder so they can both be in the loop and plan days over the holidays and let each other know where Lucas mental health is at.
She is a great addition to our family.
