Reviewed

I start my Maternity leave from October 8th 2016.

Cheryl has been my son and daughter nanny for over one years working between one and four evenings per week.

Myself and partner had just sold two properties in London and Sheffield to buy a larger family home in Rotherham. A new location with no family or friends close by for support(mine living in Middlesbrough and my partners living a London).

Until this time we had never used a nanny and to be honest never understood how a parent could leave there children with a stranger(silly me). We had always had my mum to help until she had returned to live in our home town due to her bad health. And having no choice in looking after her grandchildren because of her illness.

With my partner working as a firefighter in central London four days per week and security when he was home I was a 100% alone with childcare I started looking into a nanny service on childcare.co.uk

I worked as a assistant nightclub manager in Leeds one upto four evening per week from 7pm till 6am.

Cheryl replied to my avert on childcare.co.uk and we arranged a interview for the next day. I could not sleep the night before and the morning of the interview actually vomited because of the worry of having a stranger looking after my children.

All I can say is from the second Cheryl walked through the door my fears went and I knew everything would be fine. All through the interview Cheryl sat on the floor playing with my son for nearly two hours whilst we chatted like we had known each other for years.

Cheryl started working the same evening.

I can honestly say the combination of being professional and being part of the family Cheryl has done perfectly.

* Punctuality is perfect and always on time. Mainly 10-15mins early and has NEVER been late.
*NEVER cancelled a shift, is extremely reliable and also very flexible. And worked around myself and children being ill etc when I've had to cancel last minute and change my shifts. Which Cheryl has never complained and supported me.
* ALWAYS arrives with a big smile and I've honestly never heard her complain about anything. She spends her time playing singing and reading and talking with the children.
*Works and supports my parenting, my 19month old still wakes during the night and sleeps late and wakes early. So not a easy evening of bed at 7pm till 6am. And a 13year old that loves having friends over at the weekends so more responsibilities. Also Cheryl has looked after other family members whilst here ranging from the age of 6.

I can and will HIGHLY recommended Cheryl as a nanny. She has been more than fantastic and more than a 100% support.
Myself and family will be very upset when she leaves and asked to stay in touch. Cheryl became part of my family and very close to our hearts.

Having Cheryl provided us with fantastic childcare and support and allowed me to return back to work stress free.

She will be there full of cuddles smiles and fun for your children and for my children became there auntie Cheryl.
