Isabelle has been looking after my daughter Raina for around 6 months. In that time they have developed a gentle, playful relationship that has brought out the best in Raina.

Isabelle is kind and thoughtful, and I love how she treats each child as an individual - giving genuine consideration to their personal development. When I was concerned about Raina's eating, it was Isabelle who reassured me the most and her advice worked. In addition, she's wise and well educated, which was important to my husband and I as Raina is very curious and we were keen to find someone who would encourage Raina to explore and learn. Every day is an adventure as Isabelle always has something planned for the children's daily trips, whether that be soft play, the museum, a drama class or the park.

It's been a pleasure getting to know Isabelle and we will miss her when we move abroad next month.
