I cannot recommend Amy highly enough! She has been an absolute blessing to our family. My youngest daughter was only 3 months old when I had to return to work, which was incredibly daunting, but their amazing bond and her reassuring updates completely put my mind at ease during my long shifts.She is incredibly reliable, always on time, and completely proactiveeven offering to handle school runs for us. She took fantastic care of both my children, regularly taking my oldest to the childminder and making sure my youngest enjoyed trips out to the library. If you are looking for a trustworthy, loving, and dedicated nanny, look no further.

Thank you, it was a pleasure, I will miss them!
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.
