Sevgi has worked for us since 29th December. I broke my leg and became totally disabled and my biggest worry was to find an amazing nanny, someone who could help us and to basically become a second mum to Jack (7) and Lucy (4) while I was disabled.

I have used nannies before when we lived in London and finding a good one is a challenge but finding good quality childcare in Colchester was an absolute minefield! As soon as I met Sevgi I just knew she was 'the one'. She exudes kindness and has a lovely kind, friendly personality and my children instantly bonded with her. Even my daughter who is normally very shy, instantly fell in love with Sevgi.

Sevgi was amazing with the children, their school runs, their meals and getting everything organised for their days and bedtimes. During holidays she was great at organising fun activities and days out for the children. She also helped me immensely on an emotional level - being totally disabled and feeling helpless and really low at times, her bright, caring approach and advice was so much appreciated and I cannot thank her enough for what she did for us.

I would not hesitate in recommending Sevgi to look after your children, she is the most amazing and conscientious nanny I've come across and we will continue to use her for babysitting in the future.

Breaking my leg at Christmas was one of the darkest times of my life but looking back, a big positive came from it, we met Sevgi and I think we will remain lifelong friends.
