Karen was our nanny for three years and was, quite simply, amazing.

She is warm, calm, incredibly capable and genuinely loves and understands children. She strikes that wonderful balance of being nurturing and affectionate while providing the consistency, boundaries and gentle guidance that young children need.

With her wealth of experience, we had complete confidence in Karen's judgement, and she was an invaluable source of reassurance and advice over the years.

Karen was exceptionally dependable and professional, and knowing our children were in such safe and capable hands was invaluable. She became a much-loved part of our family, and both of our children developed a wonderful relationship with her that remains to this day.

We feel incredibly lucky that Karen was such an important part of our children's early years and would recommend her wholeheartedly to any family.

Whoever has Karen as their nanny next will be very lucky indeed!
