Nanny
Mrs. Micklethwait
2007 – 2010

Here is an additional quoted reference from one of my previous employers that explains a bit more about me in detail:

"Cigdem provided exceptional care for our two children, a 6-year-old girl and a 5-year-old boy, during my employment. Her duties included preparing breakfast and packed lunches, escorting them to and from school, orchestrating teatime, and facilitating bath time. Additionally, she managed all ironing tasks and maintained tidiness throughout the household. Despite my primarily home-based work, Cigdem assumed sole responsibility for the children on my occasional absences, demonstrating her reliability and capability. Known for her gentle demeanour and genuine affection for children, Cigdem formed a special bond with our family. Our children were genuinely saddened by her departure."
