It’s no exaggeration to say that returing to work and leaving my daughter Freya in the care of Karla was without a doubt the best thing I could have ever done for her. Karla has given my daughter so much (in all honesty, more than I would have managed had I been a stay at home Mum) They go out everyday, Freya has a strong social network and is good at sharing, listening, is empathetic and has had exposure to so much. Then there’s the practical stuff, like helping her learn to walk, potty train, eat with cutlery. Anything I’m doing at home, I explain to Karla and she re-enforces during the day. It makes my job so much easier! Then there’s the academic, my little girl can count in Spanish and knows songs that I don’t. We get regular updates on Freya’s progress which is so useful for understanding what we need to focus extra attention on.

Karla uses an app so everyday I can go on and see pics of Freya’s day, see what she’s eaten, how many nappy changes/trips to the toilet, how long she napped etc... Freya absolutely adores Karla and her family and that was important to me that Freya was in a loving environment. On top of all this, Karla has been so flexible with start/finish. Floves her cooking and has tried stuff that I haven’t even eaten!

Freya will soon move up to pre school and I know it will be a heart wrenching move to leave Karla after the best 2.5 years together (fortunately we are expecting another child and as he will be with Karla when I go back to work after Mat leave) I genuinely cannot recommend Karla highly enough. We love her and I’m so glad i found her on this very website.
