Cecilia's 5 Star Reviews

Professional, Creative and Extremely Trustworthy!

Cecilia worked for us as a full-time 'live-in' nanny for a 5 week temporary period, in sole charge of our 6 month old baby girl. Throughout her time with us, she was professional, reliable, creative and extremely trustworthy!

She maintained a daily diary which we were able to review each evening, describing daily activities and routine.
She sought out and brought our daughter to creative group activities in local libraries and museums.
She had lots of fun and creative play ideas for rainy days, such as helium balloons and blowing bubbles.
She was aware of all the relevant development milestones and ensured that our daughter made progress towards them (tummy time, sitting up, weaning etc.). She always came across as friendly and professional at all times and maintained a very pleasant work and play environment.

In summary, we thought she was excellent.

Excellent, Creative & Kind Nanny

Cecilia has been looking after our 13 month old boy on a regular basis for three full days a week as a nanny, and she has been absolutely brilliant. She's built a great rapport with him, takes him out on all kinds of different outings (a butterfly house, the library, toddler groups, the summer sandpit on Southbank) and has done some lovely creative activities with him (the latest was finger painting with homemade edible paint!) Cecilia is reliable, responsible, kind and trustworthy and very good at taking the initiative and coming up with new ideas. She's safety conscious (very important with an adventurous toddler!) and her up to date first aid qualifications are reassuring. I've noticed that Cecilia is aware of and interested in different developmental stages and practiced at creating a boundaried, warm environment that's excellent for learning and is a lot of fun. She's very responsive, and spends a lot of time singing and talking with my son and reading him books. Most importantly, he's always happy to see her and obviously enjoys her company and feels safe with her, while we feel comfortable knowing he's in professional and kind hands.

Reliable, caring and highly capable babysitter

Cecilia has looked after our baby son for a few hours either in the afternoon or evening. On each occasion I have had confidence he is in safe hands with Cecilia's knowledge and experience in childcare and her cheerful attitude. We are able to relax knowing she will follow any instructions we give but also that she will use her own good judgement. She always arrives promptly and ready to engage with our boy and we shall continue to use her as a babysitter.
