Stephen is currently looking after my 10 year old girl and 8 year old boy. He quickly formed positive relationships with both children and is embedded as one of the trusted adults in their lives. Stephen is observant and highlights when my children are not themselves and shares any concerns he has as well as being fiercely protective. Keen to improve the experiences of my children he ensures there is no screen time and has engaged them in many activities including: arts and crafts, swimming, Tae Kwon Do, football, cycling to name a few. I walked in on a paper airplane competition recently! In addition to his caring duties he also supports the household and helps in many different areas of our busy lives. My wife and I have no hesitation in recommending Stephen as a childminder."

Care assistant. Over three years experience in care - mobile and residential
| My name is Emma, I am 28 years old and have two lovely children. I have a level 3 childcare qualification and worked in a nursery setting for around two years before having my second child, which I loved. I began working in care following my grandmas diagnosis of Alzheimer’s. I have now been working in care for over three years. It gave me a great passion in care and helping and supporting others in need. I love building trusting relationships with the people I care for and gaining their trust to allow me to care for them effectively and allowing all parties to feel comfortable in each others company. I think it is important to be able to share a sense of humour in certain aspects and be able to talk openly and comfortably with one another.
