Macarena worked for us almost every weekend during the academic year, 2018 - 2019. She is exactly as she describes herself and was fantastic with both of our children - she took point in looking after them at home and also took them on outings (including taking our youngest swimming) to enable us to work on our home renovation and do admin tasks. Macarena works at a local specialist Autism school during the week which meant that she was well equipped to support our oldest child who has some additional needs. During 2018 - 2019, we ran a home therapy programme and Macarena became a part of our therapy team facilitating activities that helped our child improve their verbal communication skills. We highly recommend Macarena to anyone looking for a hard working, fun and self-starting au-pair.
