“Our little boy Casper has spent time with Emily both for ad hoc childcare and babysitting as well as more regular nanny services while we had a longer live/work trip to St Ives last year.
Casper always enjoys his time with Emily comes home with lovely crafts, sandy shoes and in a jolly mood. We love that Casper has this special time with Emily in her St Ives home and takes daily trips to the beach. Emily shares text updates with pictures, keeping us updated on how his day is going as well as development observations. Updates on nap times and reassurance if he’s feeling unwell.
We look forward to our future trips to St Ives with our little boy having more time with Emily as he grows up”.

“We used Emily regularly as a childminder when my boys were little. My boys are now school age, and we continue to use Emily as a babysitter and the occasional day of minding. The boys love their time with Emily. She sets up age-appropriate activities that follow the children’s interests and needs. They spend time outdoors, whatever the weather! Emily is kind, caring and highly qualified. I always feel so at ease leaving my children in her care. Emily always sends photo updates during the day. It’s great to see little snapshots of what they are up to! I would not hesitate to recommend Emily to anyone in need of a babysitter of a childminder.”

“Our son has been looked after by Emily since March and absolutely loves spending time with her. He’s always so happy when we pick him up from her lovely home in St Ives. He first started with Emily when he was 8 months old and didn’t have any trouble settling in. They do lots of fun activities together both indoors and outdoors and Emily really makes the most of the beautiful rea she lives in. We get regular photos and updates on how he is doing. Emily has also babysat for us and been equally amazing. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone.”

“Emily is brilliant. We’ve used her for years as an occasional childminder and babysitter. Our son absolutely loves her. Emily is very calm, and we have full confidence in her looking after our little one. Highly recommended”.

“My daughter has been spending time with Emily since she was 1. She is now nearly 4. They spend time at Emily’s home in the centre of St Ives, walking on the island and the beaches and also going on trips. She enjoys going and especially likes the art and craft activities and baking that Emily organises for her. Emily has been able to drop Elowen off at nursery or collect her when necessary, and the contract has changed over the years to adapt to the childcare I need for work. And my daughter, knows Emily well and is comfortable with her. Emily is also the perfect babysitter for us. She creates a calm, safe environment and is very organised as well! Definitely recommended by us!
