Sam was nanny to our two children for four years and in that time became a close friend of the whole family. It was very hard to say goodbye, but my work had come to an end at the time and she needed more hours. She is organised, caring, loving yet firm. She is a 'super nanny' my children blossomed under her care and she taught them many of the life skills they now display; from excellent road safety, to table manners with sharing and kindness In between she reinforced behaviour we all seek in our little ones. She is fabulous at arts and crafts so is keen to do all kinds of activities I didn't relish. She is also very intelligent and enjoys watching children develop educationally so took over a lot of the homework chores whilst I was working. The children still love her and see her as a big sister/aunty/second mother. As a working mother I couldn't have asked for more. She is, in my eyes, Mary Poppins.
