About Us

Edinburgh Guardian Angels is a family run business set up by Agnes Masters, who grew up in East Lothian before studying French & German at Edinburgh University, and subsequently Social Work and Management. Following a brief spell as a Police officer, Agnes has over 23 years experience in social work and child care including teaching, training child care & child protection, and still undertakes occasional work for the police in the equality / diversity training unit.

As Edinburgh Guardian Angels provide a 24 hour service, 7 days a week to support your child, Agnes is aided by her husband of 22 years, Louis, who works as a Sales Manager for a local motor dealership. Agnes and Louis have over 6 years experience of guardianship, having looked after children from Spain, France, Germany, Mexico, China, Hong Kong and Korea. Agnes is fluent in both French and German, is currently learning Spanish, and has access to a Spanish interpreter.

Given the background in Social Care, Child Care and Guardianship, the provision of good reliable pastoral care is a particular strength within Agnes’ business. The company has host families residing throughout Scotland, particularly in the Perthshire, Edinburgh and East Lothian areas.
