Nicole has worked with us as our nanny since September 2016. We have three children (boy, girl, boy) who are currently 13, 11 and 8. She has brought supreme organisational skills, a wonderfully proactive mindset and a great sense of empathy to looking after our family.
Nicole has a great talent for setting plans and carrying them through. She is extremely flexible in how she responds to differing requirements from week to week; she is a consummate professional in how she engages; and she is always incredibly responsive.
Nicole has also been very supportive of our friends, repaying ‘favours’ and looking after additional children whenever asked, and indeed often offering herself when she sees a need. In her work with us she has interacted closely with many other friends and families who are all very complimentary about her.
Nicole always has good ideas of what will engage the children and organises accordingly. She is keen to find new places and build days around fun activities, driving them around Sussex as necessary.
Nicole has developed a really good understanding of the children, and helped them to develop. She was assiduous in teaching and coaching them through various academic assignments; she is making a real difference to one of our children’s speech and she has commanded the respect of the eldest one.
We are very pleased that as our children are growing up, Nicole is continuing to work with us during the school holidays.

Nicole has been working for around 30-50 hrs/month for about four months (to Oct 2016).
During these times she has had sole charge over my 7yo son, & 4yo daughter. She cooks meals for them, cleans up after herself (& sometimes us!), in the kitchen, and preps the occasional family meal. She takes them out and about in her own car, and generally seems to keep them engaged in their 'work'/play.
As our children don't go to school, she is naturally involved in their home education, supporting their self-set activities/projects. She brings new ideas of her own whilst happily integrating my/the children’s instructions/requests. As a trained primary teacher, she takes all this in her stride. We have found her to be flexible, adaptable, reliable, proactive and energetic.
