We are moving overseas for a few years and have to part ways with the incredible Kasia - our beloved nanny - about which we are absolutely devastated. I am quite sure we will never replace her.
She has worked with us full time, 5-days-a-week, for the past 2.5 years (2 days per week is shared with another really lovely family who need fewer days). We feel like we struck gold meeting her in February of 2022. My husband and I were first-time parents who both needed to return to full-time work. We were not satisfied with the available nursery options in our area. So we set about finding a nanny. We came here, we read the review posts below (from complete strangers!) about Kasia. Then we met her and loved her instantly. And every word of these reviews has proven to be true!
Since my daughter was just 4 months old, Kasia has cared for her, loved her, engaged her in dynamic activities, taken her to classes and playgroups and helped her grow into a happy, clever and confident child. In her sole care capacity she has taken her to swimming lessons. She has taken her to outdoor activities in almost any weather, giving her a love of the open air. She has prepared her nutritious and healthy meals and snacks that she talks about when she gets home. And she has provided her with social activities - playdates, singalongs, library visits, farm visits - which has been amazing for her development. On the days when my daughter has not been up to a busy day, or the weather has been terrible, Kasia has kept it cozy and fun at home with art, painting, reading and playtime. My daughter loves her to pieces. Their bond is really beautiful.
Kasia has impeccably high standards and is deeply warm and caring and trustworthy. Communication throughout the day is always amazing - messages, pictures, funny anecdotes from a toddler's day! Kasia is also just a great person - funny, positive, clever, kind. She really is the most special force in our lives. She has many years of experience working with young children, and she has many exceptional and glowing references beyond mine. Please get in touch if you have any questions!
We found Kasia on here by reading the review below - and we entirely agree! Kasia has looked after our daughter Zosia since she was around 7 months old. (She is now 16 months and we have had to reduce the number of hours because of our work and location - but wish we didn’t have to!)
Kasia is simply brilliant. Easy to communicate with, friendly, warm, conscientious. She puts a lot of thought into everything the children do - activities, food, sleep, development. She has been brilliant at keeping us updated day to day. She also really listens to your preferences as a parent. Her place is a second home to our daughter by now. Zosia’s dad or I would be happy to speak to anyone for more detail.
We found Kasia through Cares platform, we met up and she was so genuine, there was an instant click. We started doing reference checking, as she has lots of references. These were so incredibly positive, that we could not believe our luck. Now we must count ourselves as one of these! No need to look further!!
She is taking care of our boy, 10 months now. As our apartment is too small, and we are both working from home, she picks him up and takes him home with her and end of day returns him back home. An ideal way for us. We have met her lovely husband and her adorable son has become our boy’s big brother.
We are moving to the Netherlands and wish we could take her and her great husband and son with us and all live together and never part. It is unbelievable how much you can trust her; we can just see the love for our son and the love for her returned by him, every day. She has an unusual potential for becoming the favourite person in the world for our son and we learned much through her. She lets him thrive in every possible way, they go out every day, she sings songs, she lets him experience textures and is super inventive and returns him every day with an incredible enthusiasm. Our son seems to want to share all their adventures, we wish he could talk, but the signs are inevitably there. She is also super punctual, transparent, honest, and always there to help. She literally goes the extra mile every time we ask her for an extra hr or earlier pick-up, it is always possible. I wish we could return the favour. She is verbally very strong, and the way she talks to our son is one we wanted to learn from her. She is incredibly experienced and happy and clever, and a natural for this job and it radiates to our son every day and to us. She has become a second mother to him, and we are heartbroken we are leaving the country.
We hope she gets a wonderful new person in their live to receive all the cuddles and love in the world as she goes for this job a 1000% and lives by it! You will see... you will be lucky if she picks you!
