Sharon looks after my 10 month old and quite literally after the first 3 days my son has taken to Sharon incredibly to the point of reaching out to go to her!!... something he only ever did with me and his daddy until that point... any worry I had of leaving my little one with someone has honestly diminished since meeting Sharon and seeing how she is around babies and kids. Sharon has such a kind and caring nature and this is evident in her treatment of my son... he loves her already and it makes my heart burst with happiness to see the bond forming between them ❤️.
Sharon's home and childcare set up is second to none and she is so well equipped with everything a child could ever need.
I for one can vouch for this lady 100% and I am so very blessed that I get to have her as a massive part of my sons life for the next number of years... you honestly don't find many gems like Sharon in this world and she is a perfect fit for us and our little boy 🥰

Sharon looks after my 9 year old and 8 month old. I can't recommend her enough, she provides a home from home experience which really helps me feel better about working full time.
My kids love her and it's often hard getting my 9 year old out the door at pickup! My 8 month old puts his arms out for her as soon as we get there and I go to work knowing they're looked after and happy.
