Outstanding nanny for 3 years

Lois has been an outstanding nanny for our 2 girls for the past 3 years. She took exceptionally good care of our girls (now aged 4 & 7) full time over that period. We are moving to a different part of the country in the summer and are very sad to part ways.

Her duties included school drop-off and pick-ups, choosing, organising and attending classes / activities / days out playdates for them. She spent quality time playing with them at home indoors & in the garden, as well as local parks / playgrounds. She planned, bought & prepared meals (including sometimes for the whole family), kept their rooms (and the house) in order, sorted their clothing and washing, including shopping for items as needed. During lockdown, she led their home schooling and kept them happy and entertained whilst we both worked full time.

We have travelled / taken her on holiday both within the UK and abroad, including to respective grandparents, and she’s always been a delight to have around, with a perfect balance between being a real part of the family and having her own space / time.

She also makes incredible food (salmon en croute, instagram ready cakes etc) and is great at tidying and organising the home (especially the kitchen, and their laundry has never been so neatly folded before).

She is reliable and punctual, whilst being very flexible around a family’s ever-changing needs. She has provided the girls a loving and fun environment whilst setting firm boundaries for behaviour and supporting their development. Her energy and enthusiasm are unmatchable - she’s always bubbly, chatty and has never been in a bad mood at work!

Mary Poppins, Mary Berry and Marie Kondo wrapped into one. Her next family is lucky to have her.
