Sam worked for our family for a period of over two years both as a mothers help, live-out nanny and in a nanny-share situation. She still has an excellent bond with our two children (now aged 6 and 4) and they both speak enthusiastically of their time with Sam.
I am now lucky enough to be a stay-at-home mum but if I ever needed a nanny again I would not hesitate to hire Sam. She was always punctual, flexible and highly motivated and, above all, put the care of our children first at all times when she was working for us.
Sam is very highly recommended and I would happily provide her with a full reference when required.
