Mums On CallMums on Call is the the brain-child of Lisa Barrett – a mum of 3 from Chiswick. Lisa first met Amanda around 13 years ago, when she used to take her (now 14 year old) daughter to Amanda’s activity classes at the Acton Priory Centre. Thereafter she took her son and finally her other daughter, Lily who is now 7. Lisa says, “Lily loved the classes at Acton and Chiswick. All of my children adored Amanda and her classes – and I had lots of fun at them too. Lily and her friends will always remember how great her 3rd birthday party was with Amanda at Brentford’s St Paul’s Church. I must admit, I really do miss those ‘Amanda days’ with the kids!” 

Anyway, Lisa just dropped Amanda a note to tell her all about her new business which is called Mums on Call – and Amanda thought that it was such a fantastic initiative, and was so pleased for Lisa, that Amanda thought that she ought to tell the world through the medium of her website.

Mums on Call is a family concierge and flexible childcare service for busy families. They supply experienced, friendly mums (or spritely grandmas!) to help out with flexible childcare (usually up to three hours) in your home – or at a local park, kids club etc… They also help to get tasks crossed off the family’s ‘To Do’ list – such as helping set up parties, waiting in for a delivery, picking up groceries or dry cleaning – in fact, the tasks on a ‘To Do’ list of a busy mum are endless!

Leaving the final word with Lisa who says, ” I wanted to introduce a service which helped other mums out there – sort of like supplying substitute mums for those who just need an extra pair of hands now and then. ”

If you want to know more about the services Lisa provides, her various contact details are shown below.
