Reviews
Below are the latest reviews for Carolina. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Carolina has taken amazing care of our two boys (2 and 3) for the past 10 months, part-time. It is only that we are leaving London that we must sadly say goodbye. She has endless playful, creative energy, with the ability to defuse conflict and stress with a calm and caring approach. She took time to understand our parenting philosophy, and we have actually learned quite a few tricks from her (like how to get them dressed and out the door without any dramas!) Carolina has been consistently reliable and has been able to help with additional childcare when needed. She has been covid safe, taking regular tests, and thorough handwashing etc with the boys. The last few months (throughout lockdown) would have been so much harder without her, knowing that our boys were in safe hands and very happy, took a huge weight off our shoulders. We could not recommend her enough and are all very sad to have to say goodbye!

Carol has taken care of both my daughters aged 3 and 6, over the past year and more recently provided dedicated nannying support for my 6 year old daughter, including home schooling. I can’t recommend her highly enough, she is intelligent , patient and good humoured, always looking to understand and take different approaches with challenging behaviour.
She is very reliable, responsive and try’s to be flexible to changing schedules.

Carolina helped us out at very short notice when my husband was in hospital with Covid. She was very professional and immediately bonded with my 16 month old. She did bath time and bedtime as if she were his full time nanny and gave me the respite I needed in a very difficult situation. I would throughly recommend Carolina as a nanny for your children, she is superb. Emma Cartwright.

I found carol at a time I needed a supernanny at it’s best! She invests all her energy and time into my little girl whenever I get carol, couldn’t ask for a more friendly out going person! I have had two Childminder’s which I seem to find my child is not first but with carol she puts frayahs needs and plays and sings with her & Frayah laughs and smiles, I even came back early and carol didn’t stop doing her thing she continued to watch Frayah allowing me to catch up with things ! Whoever gets her next will truly have found a delight for their child! An energetic Delightful person!
