Yirga looked after our 10-month-old son for 12 hours a week for several weeks, while we worked from home.
Yirga was fantastic with him, always full of energy, singing, reading and playing with him, and taking him to the park, and feeding him his pre-prepared lunch. She was very diligent and caring in everything she did, and went far beyond our expectations. It was clear that our son became very attached to her and always enjoyed her company.
Yirga always offered to clean up after lunch even though we insisted it wasn't necessary. She also gave us childcare advice from time to time, which was useful and very much appreciated (we're first-time parents).
I would be happy to recommend Yirga to anyone seeking childcare!

Yirga has been part of our family for the last two years, during which time she has cared for our now 4 and 2 year olds two days every week.
The kids love her; she is extremely gentle, reliable and trustworthy, and I'd recommend her in a heartbeat.
Yirga has cooked meals and done light housework willingly, and she has also taken both children to swimming classes in addition to the usual stay and plays, parks, creative play etc.
We are only changing childcare providers because our oldest is going to school - we are all going to really miss "Yirga days"!
