I wanted to tell everyone about how amazing you are and the pleasure of getting you know you while you were a nanny for close friends, but this ended up being about so much more – things that are much more important, things people should know, and showed me how deeply we miss you. We wanted to thank you for all the wonderful time, love and dedication that you show all children, not just the ones in your care but everyone's children really take to your warmth and loving, firm care. Mine really loved seeing you for playdates and babysitting, and always knew their boundaries. We know that we wouldn’t have been able to get through hosting any of the NCT playdates without you. It is with a great deal of sadness that we have to end our times (and playdates) with you due to our change in work location (change in country!) but we know you'll always be close in our hearts.

Our friend knew that you would be the best person to love and take care of their children, and meeting you for the first time was an absolute pleasure. We knew from that moment, they had made the right choice, that you were the one for them (they must have interviewed at least 30 people before finding you!). Thank you for taking away all the stress and worry of a new mother (especially one with a whole host of questions!!) and offering help and guidance all in the right direction for our family. Not only did you become a friend there to support me and little family in your own time, but most importantly you were more than fantastic with the 2 you looked after. You taught them (and mine!) so much, giving so much time and dedicated yourself to the upbringing and enjoyment of their little life. They have all grown into capable children with a lot of love and care to offer, along with respect and manners! We, like our friends, couldn’t ever thank you enough for all that you have given – because it is invaluable. It was heart-breaking to move away, especially when number 3 was on the way. I was truly lost not having you to turn to. If work brings our return, you'll be our first pitstop and without a doubt our childcare choice. (Although I don't expect you to ever have any spaces!!). We hope we will be able to give just a fraction of the love and dedication to our children that you give to other peoples children!

Love, hugs and kisses from us all x

Tamsin looks after my two girls aged 4 and 6. She has built a irreplaceable relationship with them, they love spending time with her and have a lot of respect for her. Tamsin treats them as if they were her own and shares a special bond with each of them individually. Tamsin has done much more than merely supervise my children. She ensures that every day they undertake some form of learning, suitable for their ages, whilst making learning fun for them. She actively encourages them to want to learn more and read more. She also balances this with play and fun activities.
I feel very secure in the knowledge that Tamsin is looking after my girls. She always remains clam, and deals with difficult situations head on. Tamsin is also very safety conscious and always ensures that safety of my girls comes first.

In addition to the child care she provides, Tamsin prepares a healthy tea for my children each day.

Among her strengths are her punctuality and efficiency. I simply cannot understand how she gets so many things done in such a short time. She is also very thoughtful, remembers important dates in the lives of our children and bringing them cards, gifts, and notes of encouragement.

I highly recommend Tamsin. I know that all children in her care would be loved for and they would love her as much as mine currently do.
