Verica has been looking after both our children for over 7 months. She has been very accommodating from day one given our youngest was only 9 months old. She has been very supportive and, although I found it very hard to return to work, I only managed to do so by knowing and being reassured that both children are very much looked after and genuinely cared for when with her.
Verica organises play dates, outings, cooks wonderful meals and sweet treats with the children, to name a few of their activities. Overall we are very happy and very grateful for her help in looking after and developing our children.

Verica is a very warm and considerate minder who is always willing to work with the children and the parents.
Our 2.5yrs old son has been going to Verica's care for over a year now and he is very happy and well looked after there. He has lots of fun with other children of different ages and backgrounds and eats healthy wholesome food Verica cooks for the children and her family.
We would definitely recommend Verica to our family & friends and would continue to send our son to her care.
