Martha helped us with our one year old son for a bit more than a month. We would've loved to continue working with her but we are moving to a different area.

We would recommend Martha wholeheartedly. She is very professional, constantly asking questions and keeping us informed of what's going on with our boy.

She brings lots of energy to the job, which is great for an active kid such as ours.

But most importantly Martha is caring… our boy is happy to see her every morning!

Martha looked after our daughter from 7 months until when she went to start reception at 4. She was her sole carer. during work hours as both parents worked full time. Martha worked for us for over 4 years and she was reliable, organised and a great cook!

Martha cared for my daughter like her own child, she was always patient and fun. My daughter was very young and Martha took her through all the steps of eating, walking, potty training and even taught her Spanish. She is very creative and a true professional.

We only parted company as we could not provide enough hours once my daughter went to school.

Hi,
Martha has been supporting us for almost two months, and she has been great. She comes every day with loads of ideas about activities on how to stimulate the development of our son, who is almost 3 years old. She combines learning activities with play so that it is more engaging with our son. and she has so much energy. Ah, and she has been excellent at potty training. She is punctual, responsible, very sweet with the little one and a pleasure to have her around. He loves her! Strongly recommended!!
