Elaine has looked after our three boys for the last 8 years, since the oldest was 6 months old, and we could not manage without her. She is kind, warm, goes out of her way for us and the children, always keeps them stimulated and active and they completely love her. All of them have started in their nursery classes at school with above average grasp of numeracy and literacy for their ages because of the educational work she has done with them. They also do lots of crafts and reading with her. The older two really look forward to spending time with her in the school holidays now they are in school full-time. We trust and admire her completely. We feel totally blessed to have found her and to have her be such a key part of our children’s lives.
