Shannon has been with our family as a full time nanny for nearly two years. She's the most kind hearted and conscientious person you could ever wish to meet and goes above and beyond on a daily basis.

As well as planning activities to encourage our children's development, she also manages to create a fun and supportive environment for them to thrive. When I get home from work it's heartwarming to see them so excited to tell me about their day and that's solely down to her hard work and enthusiasm. She clearly has the patience of a saint!

She has looked after my two children since my youngest was 12 months old and is a trusted part of our family. I spend a lot of time away from home with work and it's so reassuring to know that she is at home holding the fort. She regularly helps me out with overnight stays, taking the children to doctors appointments and even walking the dog! I'm not sure how I would have got through my return to work after maternity leave without her.

If you're looking for a reliable, loyal and super flexible nanny, then look no further because you've found her.
