Zuzi has worked as nanny for our little boy since July 2014 as part of a nanny share with another family. During this period the two babies have gone from 9 months old to 17 months old, with Zuzi in sole charge of both.

Zuzi’s responsibilities include preparing healthy and nutritious meals, and establishing napping routines. The babies are out and about every day, from music groups, playgrounds, train trips and museums. Educational development is also her priority, including reading, trips to the library, puzzles and baby signing. The babies could communicate please and thank you even before their first words!

Zuzi is extremely trustworthy, capable and confident both in and out of the home, and always punctual and reliable – never sick or late and always flexible in staying late when required. Good communication is an essential part of a nanny share and I have always appreciated Zuzi’s supportive and direct style.

My son is a happy, confident and outgoing little boy and Zuzi has played a big part in this. Both the babies love Zuzi: she is the perfect mix of firm yet fair, but is always on hand to give out cuddles and affection.

A change in work circumstances means that our nanny share has to end – that is the only reason Zuzi is leaving us. Our whole family will miss her greatly. I would highly recommend Zuzi without reservation and hope she finds a wonderful new family!
