🇺🇸👑 Our lovely American Queen, Amy, has hung up her work hat and officially retired! ❤️

Amy has had a long and beautiful career, and we feel so privileged that she chose to end it here at The Cottage, having supported and cared for so many children and families with so much love, kindness and compassion. ❤️

Amy has been such a special part of The Cottage the last four years, she will be missed. The staff and all the little humans whose lives she has touched will miss her cheery face, her warmth, her laughter and, of course, all those wonderful stories about her colourful and adventurous life growing up! 🥰

Amy, thank you for everything you have given, for the love you have shared and for the difference you have made to so many.

Now it's time for you to put your feet up, enjoy this next chapter and make lots more wonderful memories of your own! 🥂🌸

Good luck, Amy! Once a Cottage Queen, always a Cottage Queen! 👑❤️🇺🇸
