Jo looked after our daughter from the age of 5months to 4yrs. Our daughter adored jo always getting very excited when we told her she was off to jo's. jo teaches the children in her care everything from table manners to numbers and colours, even helping with potty training. She's an amazing woman not only was she our minder she was a lifeline and a god send anytime we needed her, jo would always go that extra mile for us always helpful. Our contracted hours were 8am to 5pm Monday to Thursday but there were times when we needed earlier drop offs or later collections, she was amazing nothing was ever too much trouble for her. She even once had our daughter til 9pm whilst we were sorting out our house move and by the time we collected her she was fed, bathed(she asked permission first to do this,not that we thought she had too she said she felt it was right to ask us) and already for bed. On occasion after my 2nd child was born jo offered to collect and drop off our daughter which as you can imagine was a great help. We only left Jo's care as we decided to move so our daughter went to school outta London, otherwise I would still be using Jo. our daughter adored jo and still sends homemade Xmas and birthday cards to her, she always came home smiling and chatty about her day and often very tired...thanks jo hhhh.. I cannot recommend her highly enough she's a minder and a half that goes the extra mile for you.
