Sheila has been in our family for a whole year. She started when one of my two daughters was 6 months old and the eldest was 2 years and 10 months. I am so happy that we met Sheila and can highly recommend her as a nanny. She has been such great help from the very start. She got along with girls straightaway, especially my eldest one as the youngest was still a baby. Sheila’s primary responsibility was to take care of my youngest daughter as eldest was already at nursery and she was very connected to me and my husband. As I wasn’t working and my husband worked from home we managed the routine for our eldest (pick ups and drop offs) and Sheila was looking after our baby. Sheila was cooking always for baby and sometimes for both. She cooked very healthy food and was weaning our baby gradually moved her to three full meals a day. Sheila helped us with the routine and made sure baby was napping consistently well. Our baby was very constipated when Sheila started and she helped us make sure that we reduce medicines that were prescribed and gradually stop it altogether by giving baby healthy food and balanced diet. Sheila would prepare baby food for the weekend when she had days off so we didn’t have to worry about it.
She is always on time and she rarely had any sick days. She was very considerate and travelled with us twice - to Europe and to Asia. At home Sheila was keeping girls’ rooms tidy and organised, laundry always done and the kitchen was always tidy.
Sheila is a very sincere person, she does everything with care and attention. She is very understanding and she is definitely professional. Sheila has a friendly personality and she is fun for kids to play with. My both daughters love Sheila and I always hear them laughs when they play. Having said that I want to highlight that when Sheila plays with kids she doesn’t overstimulate them, they laugh but dont scream.
We sadly had parted ways only because my youngest is starting nursery and my eldest is going to school so we wouldn’t need help as much anymore. Sheila was definitely the best nanny we have had! I am happy to speak to answer any questions if needed, i definitely recommend Sheila and can only says good things about our time together.

I am pleased to write a reference letter for Sheila. During her employment Sheila was absolutely wonderful looking after our two kids.
Both my kids love Sheila and felt very comfortable around her. She is very warm and patient and takes time to learn each kids’ specific needs and attention they require.
Always in her work, Sheila is dedicated, passionate, enthusiastic, cheerful and a pleasure to have around. She is great with talking to young kids and explaining things to them in a very interesting and lovely way. For example we were out one day and my son saw a little boy with a disability and started asking questions, Sheila was amazing at explaining things and my son even said to her after “Sheila I love when you talk to me, you make me feel nice”.
During this last year I have learnt to know Sheila personally, she is a wonderful woman, she works very hard and has a very creative and warm personality. She is very good at taking initiatives and she really loves being around children and that is why she is very good at her job.
When she started working for us my daughter was only 3 months and my son was 3 years and started school.
Straight away I felt very safe leaving her alone with our daughter. She adapts very quickly, she is very good with managing babies routine, she knows how to look after them when they are ill and she can cook a variety of lovely healthy meals for both my kids. Sheila is very organised and tidy.
Honestly Sheila is the best nanny we have ever had, she is professional, always on time and you can tell that she has a great experience with kids any age. She is an angel sent from heaven and the next family to have her will be very lucky.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Sheila came to look after our 10 month old after a friend recommended her to me. I had been very hesitant to hire help, but Sheila was great, just as my friend had promised. She has a lot of experience with babies and young children so she slipped into the roll with out any issues. Sheila was enthusiastic, caring and took initiative. We also appreciated that she was very flexible and able to help out in the evenings and on weekends. I really appreciated her help, support and her advice. I highly recommend Sheila as a nanny!
