Gemma has looked after my first boy teddy since he was 9 months old and now had my one year old Max.
They both love her to bits! Teddy asks to go there every morning which u love as I feel I can go to work guilt free !
Gemma is so reliable and flexible ! And genuinely cares for all her children.
Her calm patient nature definitely reflects in my boys and I would highly recommend her to anyone.
