Five Star Childminder! Kind, Loving, Creative.

To Whom It May Concern,

I am delighted to provide a reference for Martina Demjanova, who worked as a childminder for our family from June 2017 to September 2021.

Martina cared for our two children, who were aged two and four when she started working with us. She was an incredibly important and valued part of our family for the four years she was with us, and we would highly recommend her to any prospective employer.

Martina is a kind, loving, creative and fun childminder who genuinely cares about the children in her care. Our children always looked forward to spending time with her and were happy, engaged and well cared for when they were with her. She brought a wonderful sense of fun and creativity to their days, while also providing a safe, structured and nurturing environment.

Her responsibilities were varied and included taking sole responsibility for the children when my husband and I were working all day, as well as during school holidays. During term time, she took our eldest child to and from school and managed the children's busy schedules, including swimming and dance lessons. She organised playdates and outings to parks, galleries, museums and other activities, always making sure the children had interesting and enjoyable experiences.

Martina was also responsible for many aspects of their day-to-day care, including cooking meals, helping with homework and reading, and taking the children to various appointments when I needed to work extended hours. We trusted her completely to manage these responsibilities independently, and she always did so with care, good judgement and a calm and positive attitude.

One of the things we particularly valued was Martina's willingness to go above and beyond when our family needed her. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she stepped up and provided invaluable additional support, helping us to keep everything running so that my husband and I could continue with our work and responsibilities. Her flexibility, reliability and positive attitude during such an unprecedented and challenging period meant a great deal to us.

Martina was also extremely tidy and respectful of our home. She took pride in keeping things organised and left the children's areas and our home neat and well looked after. She was conscientious and responsible in all aspects of her work.

Throughout her four years with us, Martina proved herself to be loyal, reliable, trustworthy and hardworking. She communicated well with us as parents, and we always felt confident that our children were safe and in excellent hands. Most importantly, she developed a lovely bond with both children, and we knew they were genuinely happy and cared for when they were with her.

We would highly recommend Martina without hesitation to any family or prospective employer. She was a wonderful childminder and a valued member of our family, and we are very grateful for all the care, support and happiness she brought to our children's lives. We feel very fortunate to have had Martina looking after our children during such an important part of their early years.

Please feel free to contact me should you require any further information.

Yours faithfully,

Jean
