What is the BEST thing about your Childminder, nanny or au pair?

[KangaMummy]

Who has got the best story about:

What brilliant fun your child has while being cared for while you are at work..........

The way your childminder etc. looks after your child...........

How you don't know what you would do without her/him........

What have they done for DD/DS that you are very pleased about...........

My childminder has just rung to tell me that DD1 managed to get herself covered in paint from a fence, and to bring a new coat for the little wossname. She was a hell of a lot cheerier about her OWN paint-covered coat (thank you DD1, not) than I would have been

I love everything about my childminder, her family now feel like part of our family; always ready with advice when we ask; sometimes my ds says he doesn't want to go to her house, but those are the days that he doesn't want to come home with me later! I really couldn't come to work and do a good job if it wasn't for her. oh, and she started off the potty training, we (all!) did as we were told!

oh yes, mine firmly told me DD1 was now in potty training too.

And she was incredibly supportive about my b/fing dd2 and taking along expressed milk for her. In fact she was very supportive of my home birth plans as well.
