My wife and I originally discovered Anamaria through her child minding service at Casa Natura in East Dulwich 2 years ago. Since then, we have seen my eldest son Sebastian flourish under her care and guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a carer in the Dulwich area.

Anamaria is an extremely warm and nurturing carer who has gone above and beyond to help our eldest son Sebastian find his feet as a young toddler. With older kids herself, she understands the difficulties and challenges 2 year olds can sometimes present (eg kicking/punching, stubbornness and resistance). However, she has a developed a really empathetic style with our Seb that has really helped us manage him and in so doing, allowed him to flourish and be his own person around us as well as other babies and toddlers his own age.

Importantly for us as working parents, Anamaria is extremely reliable and understanding in helping us juggle our own busy schedules. She has proven very adaptable in rejigging her schedule to accommodate our last minute requests, is extremely punctual in responding to our questions and concerns and is also very respectful in offering advice or tips without coming across as condescending or meddling.

Overall, we cannot thank Anamaria enough for her efforts with our son Seb over the past 2 years (and very soon our youngest Theo) and would very happily recommend her to anyone looking for a warm-hearted, experienced and reliable child carer in the SE22 area.
