Richard started looking after our daughter when she was four months old, working up to my return to work full time when she was six months old. I cannot recommend Richard highly enough. He was reliable, warm, empathic, kind and caring. He very quickly formed a solid bond with our daughter and was instrumental in easing my return to work and separation from our little girl. He was very good at coming up with ways to keep her entertained and engaged. Richard always used careful, positive language to support the baby's development with a keen sense of how to build positive self esteem and an appropriate level of independence - with kindness and care. The role ended when it was time for our daughter to go to nursery / as my working hours increased.
