Below are the latest reviews for marlena. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk members and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Marlena has been taking care of our daughter Nuria for the last 18 months, until she is now ready for nursery. During that time Nuria has been incredibly happy and well looked after, and she always made sure Nuria had plenty of social interaction and playdates. The depth of Marlena's experience has been shown in how Nuria has grown up - including most recently with potty training. Marlena is a kind, funny, professional and punctual nanny and communication with her has always been straightforward. She has been an indispensable part of our family and a huge support to us as working parents with busy schedules. We echo the other reviews below that the next family who are lucky enough to find Marlena will really have a fantastic experience, and we are of course very sad to see her go!

I am delighted to recommend Marlena, who worked as our nanny from October 2023 to July 2024. She cared for our two boys, aged 4 months and nearly 2.5 years, handling activities, meals, laundry, and developmental support with exceptional skill and dependability. Marlena quickly bonded with both children, even forming a special connection with our older son during a challenging period of transition. Her no-nonsense approach and focus on good behavior were much appreciated, and she was always open to our specific parenting preferences. Marlena is a hardworking, reliable, and nurturing nanny who would be an asset to any family.

Marlena has been our nanny for the past year and has been fantastic on every level. She is creative with activities and makes sure Maddie is socialised either at play groups or at nanny meet ups.
Marlena fitted in to our family instantly and was the best pair of hands I could have hoped for when I went back to work after 6 months. Maddie loves the days she spends with Marlena and will miss her when we move abroad. We wish we could take Marlena with us!
