REFERENCES FROM PARENTS (phone numbers to verify these available on request)

1. Our girls love Miri. She is a very friendly and happy person, always punctual, reliable and listens to the kids' needs and wishes. She knows how to organise and get along with children in a respectful and kind way.

2. Our kids love it when Miri looks after them! She is great with the kids, happy to help with any part of their routine, and they feel very comfortable with her. She is quick to respond, reliable, and organised. We have no problem recommending her to other families.

3. Miri got in touch through Childcare.co.uk and we scheduled a meeting after which we immediately decided that Miri was a good fit for our family. Miri looked after our daughter Hazel from the start of January 2017 through to mid October 2017 and has since on and off during the summer holidays, too. Her fantastic creativity showed in the activities she chose to do with Hazel and we knew she would never be bored. As well as this she often took her out to play on the Common or to the park and we always felt safe knowing our daughter was in capable hands. Miri was always calm and collected and handled stressful situations well. She handled tantrums and difficult toddler behaviour in a calm manner. It was also obvious to us that she had fun with Hazel which I think is very important. I work from home some of the time and could often hear them both giggling together.

4. Miri has been our regular nanny to our two daughters (now aged 4 and 2) since April 2018 when the girls were around 2.5 and 9 months. Miri is great with toddlers (the age they are now) but also with small babies, very aware of what they can or can’t eat / any choking hazards etc. She has even looked after our children for entire weekends when we have been at weddings. The girls absolutely adore her. She picks them up from nursery and all the nursery staff always sing her praises. Miri is a big part of our daughters’ first years. We would definitely recommend her as a nanny.

5. I am writing to recommend Miri Stevens as a childminder or babysitter. Miri has carried
out ad-hoc childcare for us since May 2017, when my daughter Cleo was 15-months-old,
and previous to this regularly looked after my neighbours’ two children and now looks after my other daughter who was 9 months when Miri began. Miri has a really good connection with the girls and has been really accommodating, trustworthy, communicative, and is smart, easy going and personable.
