Perfect Nanny

We used Isabela as a temp nanny for one week only, when I was recovering from a surgery at my parents house, and my two daughters, ages 3 and 6 came over from abroad to visit me in the UK. She was the perfect person for the job!
Isabela is:
- Clear, no nonsense, upfront communicator
- Confident & experienced in her job of managing the kids - boundaried, yet nurturing/ fun/ empathetic/ loving
- Managed challenging situatons such as my youngest toddler not wanting to leave me & not wanting to get dressed! etc...
- Active and hands on (she disappeared for hours at a time in the heat taking kids to parks etc)
Generally, I wanted a professional nanny to take matters into her own hands, and manage the kids where I couldn't - but also be open and flexible to my joining in where possible. Plus the girls really adored her, as did the whole household!
I would definitely use Isabela again!

A great reliable and hands on nanny

Isabela was a nanny for my then aged three and five year old children from 2015 to 2016.
Isabela was extremely reliable. She always ten minutes early for work.
I never worried when they were in her care.
I found her firm but fair and always good fun.
Something another mother noticed was that Isabela would always chat and interact with my children, she was never on her phone.
Isabela always played games with my two, at home and in the park. She kept them busy!
Isabela also did some light household chores to a high standard.

ad hoc child care

Isabela is a fantastic highly experienced nanny, she has made herself available for my last minute childcare requests and my children absolutely adore her. She sets clear boundaries for the children while ensuring they have a wonderful time while in her care.

Great year with Isabella

Isabella has worked with our family over the past year (2018-2019) as a sole-charge, full-time nanny for our 2 year old son and 5 year old daughter. During her employment, Isabella has been responsible for: providing daily care, planning engaging activities, preparing meals for the children, keeping the children’s areas clean and organized (including laundry), doing school drop-offs and pick up, coordinating play dates, researching and organizing activities for the children (eg: swim lessons) and helping out with all sorts of other bits around the house as requested.
Isabella has provided excellent care for our children, developing excellent relationships with them and helping them through challenging developmental stages (eg: biting, tantrums, potty training). She has remained positive and nurturing in all her interactions. She is very good at diffusing tensions/ tantrums with humour, but also maintains a clear set of expectations for the children and is consistent in setting boundaries. She reads frequently with the children and always get them outside to play.
As a rather busy home with two working parents we have come to rely on Isabella’s rock-solid organizational skills. She will help manage school projects, schedules, etc. She reminds us of upcoming events. She arrives 10 minutes early and has never once been late. She is always professional. We come home to a tidy house every day. We can really depend on her.
