I went back to work when my son was four months. I was very anxious about leaving him when he was so young but from the moment I met Klara I felt she would take good care of him, and that has been the case. She welcomed him into her home like family. She has been fantastic at involving him in everything the other children do in an age-appropriate way, from sensory activities to petting zoos to feeding the ducks. She shares pictures of what they get up to and gives me regular updates about his progress. Her approach is gently persuasive and very effective - for example, when she brings out his puddle suit he comes over and sits down on it to be zipped up (he doesn't do this for me!). My son adores being around her and her children and has formed a close bond with them all. Klara is warm and personable and I feel so lucky to have found someone so wonderful to look after my son. It is with real sadness that our circumstances changed and we are no longer in a position to use her.
