Melanie kindly stepped in to cover a last minute childcare need and was wonderful with our son, aged 2.5 and daughter, aged 12 months.
Melanie is very reliable, flexible, takes great initiative and immediately gained our confidence in her childcare abilities. Melanie gained the trust of the children very quickly, and they thoroughly enjoyed her looking after them.
Melanie has great attention to details and takes care in ensuring she acquires all relevant information about the children and their routine prior to commencing her role. Activities for play were discussed and Melanie arrived with a gamut of ideas of things to keep the children engaged.
As I was working abroad, Melanie provided a thorough handover during each day. Melanie was responsible for the children from 7am-7pm each day, ensuring all their care needs were met, meal preparation and bedtime routine. These were all performed to an excellent standard.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Melanie in a childcare role.
