Goizane worked for us between May 2016 and September 2017 as a nanny for our son, until we moved to Singapore. He was 13 months old when she first started.

Goizane’s main task was to look after our son while we were working, taking him to playgroups, the park, the library and on playdates with another little boy and nanny we knew well. She is a very experienced nanny and has a strong understanding of child development. For this reason, she easily understood our son’s unique interests and needs, and was able to follow and build on these. He really enjoyed his days with her and thrived in her company, learning new skills from their time together like Spanish, how to ride his scooter, how to socialise, good manners, etc.

Goizane always followed our son’s routine in line with his usual pattern, providing consistency e.g. settling him to sleep for naps at the usual time and rocking him back to sleep when needed. During his naps she cooked extremely delicious meals for the family, she then managed to feed our son, when often we would struggle to keep him sitting still to eat.

Goizane’s strengths include her calm and collected way of dealing with any situation, and her warm-hearted, positive and empathetic nature. She quickly became a part of the family and it was a real pleasure having her help us every week. We were very sad when we left for Singapore and had to say goodbye to her.

Goizane is also reliable and professional, and always made sure the safety of our son was paramount, so we could be sure that he would have the best possible care in her hands. She has been supportive of the family’s needs and has always been flexible and provided extra help when we required it.

We would strongly recommend Goizane to another family, she will be a wonderful asset!
