We are two friends who have been in a nanny share arrangement for our two children for 4 years. Emma covered the maternity leave of our permanent nanny for 8 months (March – November 2012) during our nanny’s maternity leave. Emma also brought her own daughter to work with her most days.

Emma is a sensible, practical and kind person who cares for the children well, with the right balance of nurture and discipline.

During her time with us we were impressed by her initiative in organising activities for the children, including playdates with other children from the nursery our children attend; cooking, painting and general play at home as well as the occasional outing e.g. Kew / Farm/ Fruit picking. She also encouraged the children to try new food and cooked fresh nutritional meals on a daily basis.

Her timekeeping was excellent and she was very conscientious about her job. Her daughter is a delight – our children adored her (and remain in contact) and Emma was very good at balancing the needs of the children in her care with those of her daughters.

We would definitely recommend Emma. If you are considering Emma for a role and would like to talk to us about her please do not hesitate to contact us (via Emma).
