Kind, reliable and experienced

We found Doreen at short notice for some extra help for a couple of weeks. My 18 month old can be a bit unsure of new people, so I was a bit tentative of having someone new for such a short time. I needn't have worried at all. Doreen was brilliant. She was super organised and clear right from the start, which was very helpful - meeting first and bringing all her documents etc. She is very experienced and instinctively knew how to put my daughter at ease. We had smooth handovers from the very first morning, and my little one always came home happy, having been off for various trips to the playground/library/museum etc. She also kept me updated during the day. I would recommend Doreen without hesitation.

A wonderful nanny

Doreen has been with our family now for 8 months and looks after our 15 month old two days a week. She has been so reliable, practical and kindly from the first instant and our daughter bonded with her quickly and easily, sharing big smiles and cuddles. It's lovely seeing them head off together for busy, active days. Doreen is experienced, firm and fair, helping children feel safe and secure by setting clear boundaries and expectations. She is also canny and thoughtful in responding to different characters and adeptly navigated caring for our 5 year old after school. She is always seeking ways to be helpful around the house and has gone above and beyond in assisting with decluttering, always making sure the space is calm and clean after everyone has had a busy day. We feel really lucky to have met her and above all delighted that our daughter is happy and stimulated in her care, which we highly recommend.

Wonderful Doreen

We are pleased to share our experience with our wonderful nanny Doreen, who has been part of our family for the past nine months. As busy working parents, finding someone we could trust to care for our two daughters, aged 4 and 7, was important to us, and we felt so fortunate to have found her.
She has been a great help, providing firm but fair guidance that encourages independence and self-care in our girls. Her support with their education has been invaluable; our 7 year old has gained confidence in maths, while our 4 year old has made good progress with reading and writing.
Always reliable and punctual, she organises enjoyable activities that keep the children engaged. We also appreciate her willingness to help around the house, which makes things easier for us during busy weeks. Most importantly, our daughters are safe and happy in her care; they genuinely look forward to spending time with her.
We are very grateful to have her as part of our family and would happily recommend her to any family in need of childcare. Thank you for everything!
