Timnit is a fantastic nanny. I went back to work after 10 months and commuted into central London while my partner works from home. I was initially very nervous at leaving our daughter, but Timnit is an absolute pro.

We met Timnit for an initial conversation to let her know what we were looking for. And immediately, we liked her from the get-go. Warm, caring and firm. She mentioned she would bring her daughter who was a month younger than ours to work and we were open to this, considering Timnit has 3 children of her own, I knew she could handle it.

Some people might be nervous or reticent about bringing her daughter, but it worked brilliantly and now I couldn’t conceive of our child not always having her pal with her. They have become amazing friends; they eat at the same time, nappy change at the same time and even sleep at the same time. They have a brilliant rhythm. Timnit uses her own initiative to find suitable activities throughout the day, takes them out to the park, to playcentres and out for food, cooks great meals for both and nourishes them both mentally and emotionally. She also regularly sends WhatsApp messages throughout the day which I look forward to and it's so lovely to see them all enjoying themselves and getting around the city. Timnit is firm, attentive, caring, and, she helpfully makes suggestions with regards to different foods, amending schedules or things we might need which I find incredibly valuable. We will be sad to see Timnit go as our child will be resuming nursery full time but hopefully our daughters will remain good friends. I cannot tell you how reassuring it is to have Timnit look after our child, and I can recommend her highly.
