I cannot recommend Jennie enough. My daughter has been under Jennie's care since she was 11 months old (she is now 2 1/2). It was so hard leaving my baby at first and Jennie was so supportive and understanding; it made the whole process a million times easier.

Jennie goes above and beyond in every way and this shows in how well Orla has developed in the time she has spent with Jennie. Her home is welcoming and absolutely spotless (in fact, our child often comes out even cleaner than she went in!). Orla is happy, confident and content. She absolutely LOVES going to Jennie's house and all the varied and fun activities and visits they go on. Orla has made some beautiful little friendships and loves telling me about what her and her 'best friends' get up to throughout the day. Jennie creates beautiful portfolios which we get every 3/4 months or so so we can see what she has been learning. Not only that, my husband and I have a whatsapp group with Jennie and we get daily updates which really light up a dreary day at work!

If you have to give your child to someone else to care for, you want that person to be trustworthy, caring and understanding - Jennie is all these things and more. The only reason we are not continuing with Jennie is because we are moving - I ask her every time on her feedback forms (which come with the portfolio) to move with us but I think her husband and children might have something to say about that! :')

The family that takes Orla's place will be a very lucky family indeed.
