Amy has worked with me and my two boys for a few months now and is the most lovely reliable nanny I’ve met! She’s happy to dive in with our busy life - helping me take the babies to their clubs - even happy to get in the swimming pool with them!
She is kind and engaging with the boys, happy to play and chat along. She sticks to nap schedules and healthy eating, always trying to make my life easier.
If on the odd occasion the boys are asleep together she’s happy to help around the house.
I can’t thank Amy enough and hope to have her in mine and my boys life for a long time to come!

We have been working with Amy for the last 6 months.
She is great with our daughter and our daughter adores her.
Amy is very accommodating with our ever changing schedules (extra days), which is great as she is extremely reliable.
Amy goes above and beyond coming up with ideas and activities for our daughter on Fridays along with taking her to classes that I have booked.
Amy great at communication, very kind, caring, soft spoken and really does put our daughter first.
They spend a lot of time outside at the park, duck pond, picnic in the park etc …
We share the same values and approach to clean and healthy lifestyle/food which is great to instil consistently in our daughter
Myself and my partner would highly recommend Amy.

Amy is brilliant! She is reliable, trustworthy and my children (1 and 2) love her.
She follows guidance for routine, meals etc but is also great at thinking of things to do with the children. When they nap she will find things to do (tidying up etc) which is a huge bonus. I couldn't recommend her enough!

Thanks Fran :) I loved my time with them! :)
Amy's a breath of fresh air when it comes to babysitting. After being let down by a few people who didn't turn up when they said they would or failed to reply to messages, I was losing hope of finding someone I could work with. But since day 1, Amy has been a brilliant communicator, very reliable and punctual and I've trusted her from the get-go. She's excellent with my severely autistic, non verbal seven-year-old and is able to give him the personal care he needs, lying in bed with him while he falls asleep, for example. And at the same time, she finds time to have fun and play with my neurotypical four-year-old, who looks forward to her visits. I'd highly recommend Amy to anyone. We're very glad to have found her.

Thanks Keira, they’re a joy to look after :)
Amy turned up full of energy to help me with my children. She first came as a mothers help when my first was born roughly for 4 months and then stayed with us on an ad hoc basis until the second was born where she helped with breastfeeding support and supporting the transition to two children. Amy helped with lighthousekeeping and supported the general running of our house when needed. Maria
