Ashley came to join our family last July, she is in sole charge of my two boys from 7am to 7pm three days a week. Ash gets them up, drops older one at the school, cares for younger son throughout the day and then collects eldest, feeds them both and gets them into bed. Everything I would do if I were not at work.

Ash is great fun, really committed, has NEVER let me down, deals with the teething, bugs, tantrums in my absence. You can tell that she loves children. My boys love her and they have a great bond. She is great at organising activities and has Harry, her secret weapon, to get things going (he's a tortoise). She is hugely knowledgeable about EY learning and no doubt can add value here.

Due to a massive change of plans we are relocating down south, if she were single I would be taking her with me.
