THE

RENT-A-MUM

STORY

Although Rent-A-Mum has records going back to 1970, the agency was established even earlier than this. It was originally set up in the early sixties by the expatriate owners of a maternity wear shop situated on historic Hollywood Road in Mid-levels. Their clientele would often ask about qualified English speaking professionals to care for their new babies.

Hence the owners recognised a need for qualified English speaking nannies and babysitters to work within the overseas communities in Hong Kong.

TESTIMONIALS

I've used Rent-a-Mum on multiple occasions as I needed to find somebody to take care of my 2 girls (ages 2 and 5) while I was working and when their usual nanny was away. I have been more than satisfied by the service provided! Shirley replied very quickly to my request by e-mail and always answered all my concerns and identified the best profile to suit my daugthers' ages. Shirley then sent me the CV of the suggested candidate and also gave me a bit of her background, which was really reassuring.

I knew that I could trust the caregiver as soon as she arrived and that she would be able to handle the situation if my girls were upset in my absence, which was really important for me as I needed to have peach of mind while I was working. The caregivers that arrived were great! They took very good care of my girls, and I was so happy they didn't even cry when I left! I highly recommend Rent-a-Mum!

We have been using the babysitting service provided by Shirley and her team at Rent-a-Mum since we arrived in Hong Kong from UK in the summer of 2016. At that point, my two sons were aged 11yrs and 9yrs. Being unsure whether or not we wished to employ a full-time helper, we still needed someone to be with the boys when we were out. Shirley has made sure we have consistently had the same sitters. Each of the three sitters we have had over the period to date has been delightful, engaging, reliable, punctual, interested in our boys and English speaking.

The boys have been very comfortable being left with all of them and enjoyed their company. The service that Rent-a-Mum has provided for us has been very professional and efficient and also invaluable in making our transition from UK to Hong Kong so much easier and indeed our ongoing lives here. I couldn't recommend Shirley and her team highly enough.

Dear Shirley

I would really like to thank you for your help, at such a critical time for our family. Both nannies you sent us were excellent and I would strongly recommend your service to our friends and colleagues.

Kind Regards,

J. Perry

We have been working with Rent-a-Mum for about a year and have had a great experience with the company. We initially registered with them because we needed the flexibility of a part time job to start our business, and working with Shirley & her team has done just that and more.

They have done an amazing job at matching us with the right families making sure both her clients and nannies are happy. We are thrilled with our experience here and highly recommend Rent-a-Mum.

Thanks again!

I am a French Nanny and have lived in Hong Kong since 1994. I have been registered with Rent-a-Mum since 1999. Since t hen, Shirely has placed me in three different full-time nanny positions in Hong Kong, as well as placing me in numerous babysitting/maternity positions in recent years.

I like working with Shirley because she listens to my needs and will always put me in touch with clients who will suit me best. Her support over the years is greatly appreciated. Shirley also puts emphasis on teh needs for effective communication, and whether you are registering with her as a professional nanny or as a babysitter, you can guarantee that the information she gives you to do your work to the best of you ability, is always correct.

I have known Shirley Robinson for over 10 years and have worked for Rent-a-mum on and off during this period, in a variety of capacities, from full-time Nanny to babysitting and to most recently, Maternity Nursing .

I have always found Shirley to be kind and considerate, she always does her best to match the Nanny to the client, taking into account the Nanny's needs and preferences as well as the client's. Shirley Robinson is why Rent-a-Mum is so successful, when discussing the needs of your family it is important to talk to someone who knows their Nanny's well and has the experience and down to earth nature.
