Deirdre looked after our daughter from the age of 12 months until 18 months when she moved away. She was amazing, very helpful, kind and caring. Our daughter really loved how engaging she was and when she would sing with her. She was always on time and flexible with our requests. Highly recommended!

Thank you, Katya, It has been a pleasure to work for you and your family. I'll miss you all and wish you well for the future, Best wishes, Deirdre.
Deirdre was a real help to us with our four young children. She primarily cared for our two year old twins, who enjoyed playing and doing activities with her, but she also took care of our five year old or our newborn when when needed.
