I contacted Harj as I needed someone quite last minute (a week or so notice) to pick up my son from nursery and take care of him for the afternoon, handing over to another babysitter for the evening. She came over to meet / play with F for an hour a few days prior to the actual care and he took to her very well! We can’t wait to work with Harj again in future. Thank you :)

It was lovely to meet Claudia and her son. They both treated me like a family member and welcomed me into their home. Her son was really happy and excited to see me when I first went which made my day!
I felt comfortable and safe at her home. Her son is a really friendly and lovely child. It was a true pleasure to look after him and I look forward to working with you again very soon 😊
Harjit was a wonderful nanny for our two children and always took the time to play and interact with them whilst in her care. Harj collected both children from their childcare settings and cared for them in our home until I arrived home from work. I felt instantly at ease when I met Harj and the children took to her very quickly too, often wanting goodbye cuddles and the smallest was always excited to see her. She is a very kind and caring individual and always punctual. Nothing was too much trouble and I would highly reccomend her. Thanks for all your help Harj!

Many thanks for your loving and kind words Ricci! It was a true joy working for you and helping you with collecting the kids and looking after them until you arrived from work.
Ricci always made me feel welcomed into her home, is an amazing communicator, kind and caring. I always felt safe and at ease in her home. Ricci's two children are so lovely, cute and fun! I really enjoyed our time together and used to look forward to collecting and looking after them. The goodbye cuddles made my day too!
Thank you for everything Ricci!
Harjit aunty started work at a very short notice. She picked my kids from nursery in her car. Once home she cooked us lovely Indian rotis and parathas, always tidied the kitchen and the floor after cooking. She is a very good cook and keeps the house clean without directing her. she has made a very close bond with my children and my daughter runs to her when she goes to pick her up. My parents were pleased with her kindness and friendly and caring nature. She is punctual and always informs me before time if she cannot make it so I can have my arrangements to pick kids. She is also super talented and helped us sewing clothes whenever she had some free time. never idled around and used every minute to do some chores and help out with anything she could. Sat my kids in garden to do some reading and played with them. i work full time and I never once had to worry about my kids and home in her presence.
I am so impressed with her and I think she is an amalgamation of professionalism and socialization at the same time. Its very hard to find people like Harjit aunty and I definitely recommend her as a truly loving trustworthy kind and professional nanny.
I wish I could continue to get her services but unfortunately I am now in need of a full time nanny. I wish her good health and may Gods blessings be with her and her family always.

Thank you very much for your kind words Asra. It is always a joy to work for you and look after your beautiful children who are so loving. It always makes me happy when I see your daughter at nursery and she comes running to me to give me the best hug ever!
I am glad you enjoyed my food. It is a pleasure cooking for you and I really enjoy it.
Asra is an amazing host who has made me feel welcomed into her home as a family member. Asra's parents are also so loving and caring, it was a true honour meeting them all. Asra's kids are always happy, fun and friendly. I do miss them a lot and hope to see them again soon in the future.
Best wishes to you also Asra, may Gods blessing be with you and your family always.
