Zdenka has been taking care of our first child when he was only 5 months old and I had to return to work full time. I immediately trusted Zdenka as she gave us detailed feedback of our son routine and activities. She took on some extensive research to find appropriate classes for our baby in our area and gradually took him to one class or playgroup a day.
We moved house when our baby was only one year, Zdenka supported our son and adapted a special routine to get him excited in his new bedroom. When he was going through schema plays, she was quick at detecting them, explaining them to us and finally helping him (giving him time, talking to him and making him have fun).
She fully organized our baby weaning and introduced step by step new ingredients. Our toddler is now eating all sorts of vegetables, grains, proteins and fruits thanks to her perseverance and innovative ways to cook. I was actually very impressed with Zdenka knowledge in nutrition from the use of superfood to the magic alchemy of nutrients to ensure their digestion, absorption and help in mood and sleep regulations.
Zdenka has got a holistic way of educating children which makes her really stand out from the other nannies. She nurtured a positive parenting approach for us which we now follow almost effortlessly. She recommended us some educational readings which have helped us in many ways understand our child and coach him how to be independent and thrive in his activities.
Zdenka is so trustworthy she came with us on a family holiday to Zanzibar where she arranged some special activities for our 16 month toddler (coconut painting, collecting shells on the beach and painting them, swimming, sand play).
When our second child was born, Zdenka helped me in correcting my breastfeeding position but also supported me in staying active and getting some rest. She was preparing all meals for me which helped me feel good and the baby to have the best possible fuel for his development.
She patiently taught my newborn how to take from the bottle and even fed her with a spoon when she was refusing to take from the bottle. Last but not least, I was away for 2 weeks and Zdenka stayed as a maternity nurse when I was away, working 24 hours a day to take care of my 4 month old baby. She used her knowledge and practice to sleep train my 2 children and I am blessed to have them sleeping peacefully thanks to her.
I would recommend Zdenka to anyone and I have no issue in being reached should someone need more reference on her. She will be dearly missed and I wish her well in her future educational projects.
