Daphne is friendly, warm and thoughtful, and it's obvious that she has a genuine love of children. Daphne conducts herself and her business in a professional way and I know the children are always safe when they are with her. Daphne lays down clear ground rules for the children in her care and she handles challenging behavior with respect and kindness. I reckon Daphne is the best carer around and my children and I feel very lucky to know her. Daphne deserves her reputation as a highly respected and sought-after carer.

Daphne started caring for my children about 4 1/2 years ago. They have now moved on to School and Preschool but still use occasional care on the weekends when my partner and I need some adult time. I feel my kids are in a safe and caring environment therefore we can enjoy our night while they enjoy theirs.
