Dear Agnes,
We are really grateful for the four months you and the host family took care of our daughter Alessandra whilst at Kilgraston. She has enjoyed her time in Scotland and has grown in so many ways due to the experiences she has made.
Having you as her guardian made her feel very comfortable and safe. We were always at ease about Alessandra, were informed regularly and always felt that you are very passionate about your work.
Thank you so much!!! We will always recommend you and your service and hope to keep in touch with you.
Alessandra is definitely looking forward to visiting you in Summer!
Warmest regards

I am so happy that I had Agnes as my Guardian. I could call her every time there for me when I needed help. She tries hard to know what I needed and was a warmhearted guardian for me.
I will miss that going to dinner and to make jokes with her. She gave me an wonderful host family for the holidays and phoned me often to ask if every thing was okay. I will never forget the time that I have spent with her! She is a wonderful guardian!

Agnes Masters has been my guardian for the last 3 years of my school career in Loretto.
She has been absolutely wonderful guardian and friend to me. I always felt very safe knowing that my traveling details were managed by her and her company.
Additionally she made a great effort to see me every term and took me out for many enjoyable dinners, together with a few other kids from my school. All the host families I have stayed with have been exceptionally welcoming and friendly.
Not once has she missed my birthday, or the opportunity to assure me that she really cares about me. I am very thankful to had the pleasure of meeting her and having her as my guardian and would gladly recommend her.

Dear Agnes,
I would like to take the opportunity in the middle of the summer break to say thank you for the great job of you and your team, who took care of L during the last year.
You know, it is always a kind of an adventure for children and parents as well, when children leave out for the first time.
When our daughter went to Scotland, it was important for us, that we could have a good feeling, that there is trustful person nearby in cases of need.
Luckily, we didn't face any need, but beside this we enjoyed your efforts to make sure that Louise is feeling fine at her boarding school.

We arrived at EGA without knowing them, only by recommendations. Now, we already know that we have succeeded. EGA has provided us with all the logistical coverage necessary for our son to travel safely, punctually and comfortably.
They are fully reliable, responsible, careful and always aware of the needs and evolution of the child throughout the year.

Edinburgh Guardian Angels (hereinafter EGA) has been providing guardianship
services for my son since he started at boarding school in April 2016.
From the first contact with Mrs Masters I was aware of the professionality,
attention to detail and competence of the organisation.
The mechanics - e.g. travel arrangements are efficiently dealt with and problems
that crop up rapidly and firmly dealt with.
EGA has a good network of host families and my son appears to be happy with
them, although inevitably he has some he prefers more than others.
EGA provided major support to our son - and indeed to myself at a difficult
time in our lives and continues to do so.
I would not have the slightest hesitation in recommending EGA to any other
parents. As Mrs Masters is fluent in German this recommendation also applies to
pupils coming from Germany.

My son Raphael who is now twenty years spent the year of his 16 years in Loretto college . We are French but we live in the Indian Ocean which makes complicated exchanges. Agnes Masters organized everything for us the welcome, the relationship with the college, the host families always very good.
It is for these reasons that we chose to ask for Agnes help again when our youngest sons, Mathias and Florentin (twins) aged 16. they are in Longridge college (we found thanks to Agnes).
Our sons are delighted as she listens to children and worried or them another very important point for me is that we often have news by mail. A very good job Agnes!! nothing to say more!
I could speak about a lot of more: your welcome, your gifts, the hosts family always so nice, time in your house with your husband...Raphael have very good memories about!

Dear Agnes,
You are my Scottish mother and can't describe how much I appreciate your presence and I'm the luckiest person ever as I had you as my guardian.
I have gained so much care and love from you and you helped me to settle in UK more than anyone.

As the year course is ending I just writing you to thanks because I'm very happy with all the English learned by my daughter at Loretto school and also how comfortable she has been all this time in your school.
She always speaks very well about her teachers and about her guardian Mrs Agnes Masters. She has got many good friends and a lot of experiences.
To send my child to Scotland instead of London, for example, it's worse for us just for the flights connections but something that tips the balance for your option it's the figure of the guardian. At the start we thought it was an extra spending to come to Scotland but we have felt all this time that our daughter was safer with this figure.
Mrs Agnes Masters has been in contact with us for almost everything and also has been worried for many things that we never thought it was part of her job.

Our experience with Mrs Masters' guardian agency has been absolutely positive without any exception. My wife and me are able to recommend her services highly.
From the very first beginning we had the feeling that Caroline was in best hands. It is not easy for parents to see a teenager leaving home and being abroad for a longer period of time.
Mrs Masters is in the same way warm-hearted and consequent when it is necessary. We felt best informed by her about what we should know and contacting her via e-mail or mobile was always possible. Her business is in our opinion very well managed. Guardianship is for Mrs Masters not just a matter of work but a matter of passion.
We are very thankful for what she did and still does for Caroline. If one day our youngest daughter should go to
Kilgraston, her guardian would be Mrs Masters.

When we first met Agnes we were very surprised because she was so friendly and nice to us. She took us out for dinner and she told us if we would have any problems we always could rely on her and ask her for help.
For both of us Agnes was like a mommy who always kept care of us andmade our life in Scotland as good as possible. She never forgot about important occasions like birthdays and even did a party for us. And when we started to miss our families and friends she always supported us and helped us to cope with our sadness.
Agnes was always going to meet us in dealing with our desires. We were so lucky to had such a good guardian. Thank you Agnes for all you have done for us!

I have been extremely lucky to have Edinburgh Guardian Angels as guardian for my son Leopoldo these months.
I have always found you, Agnes, to be kind, knowledgeable and efficient and I can fully trust my child in your care. But all your family really know how to look after children and communicate with parents.
Because of you, I was very comforted and without worry while he has stayed in Scotland alone.
I hope we can keep in touch and be friends, I must say a giant thank you to you and Louis, to the host family and to all your fantastic family for the good care of Leopoldo.
If any friends ask for good guardian, I will refer them to Edinburgh Guardian Angels with no doubts.
