We hired Bee to look after our one year old daughter and we can't recommend her enough. She's calm, patient, kind, professional and fun. But most importantly my daughter loves her - plus she has found a best friend in Bee's son, who also attends when Bee is nannying for us.

As a first-time parent I was a little anxious at the prospect of leaving my daughter in someone else's care, but when we met Bee I felt completely reassured. Bee has complete control of every situation, which is impressive with two energetic little ones to care for. It's been no issue with Bee bringing her son, which was something we weren't initially sure about. But he is so lovely and it has been great for our daughter to make her first friend and interact with someone close to her age. Plus Bee manages them both so well - including nap and mealtimes. She also really took the time to get to know my little one - always asking about routines and her likes and dislikes etc.

I work from home, but her ability to keep the children happy and busy, means they're not a distraction. She's a great cook and always makes fresh meals for my daughter, while also finding the time to cover other duties, like our daughter's laundry etc. I completely trust her taking the children out, with them regularly visiting the park, soft play and feeding the ducks. Bee is reliable, helpful, polite and is a lovely person to be around. She has a really kind and patient way with children and even on the day's she's not working, my daughter asks about Bee and her son! I think that says it all :)
