Elaine came to work for me when I had my first daughter who was 8 months old at the time. She worked three days a week from 8am to 6pm which allowed me to return to work. Elaine was always reliable and punctual and stayed with us until my second child was born and I stopped work again. Elaine was a great help; she took wonderful care of my daughter and I felt very secure leaving my baby with her; she would take her to local playgroups and tend to all her needs - detailing anything I might need to know in a diary which I found extremely helpful. Soon after my second child was born my childcare requirements decreased, however Elaine was kind enough to return to work for a few hours a week to give me a bit of respite from having two young children under my feet which was greatly appreciated. I am not sure what I would have done without her and I highly recommend her to any future family. We have kept in touch ever since.

Thank you for the lovely review! It was a pleasure working for you and caring for your sweet daughter. Big hug for all 🧡
Elaine worked with our almost two year old between July and September this last summer while our family was posted in London for my husband’s work. Elaine was absolutely our saving grace on this trip. I was newly pregnant, and far away from home and family, needed someone to help with our toddler. Elaine was so kind and sweet to her, she helped us as much and she could and even watched her at night so my husband and I could do date nights (the first since our daughter was born!). She would take our little one to the park, on playdates, soft play areas, take her on coffee dates, cool balloon installations, and on the bus for fun (our daughter’s favorite!). She helped us more than she knows! She is an amazing caregiver, extremely trustworthy, a wonderful and thoughtful person, and we will always think of her as family. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a nanny/babysitter! Now that we are back home, we are still miss her everyday- I don’t know what we would have done without all her help! Thank you Elaine! ❤️

Thank you very much for the lovely review and for being such a great family to work for! I really enjoyed being a part of your journey and getting to know is you all! I miss you all and think of you regularly! I hope to find another wonderful family like you!
Elaine was our nanny for our eldest child from the age of 4 months, also looking after our second child who was born 2 years later, until we moved out of London. Elaine was exactly what we wanted in a nanny - she adores children, had such a close relationship with our two children and was always able to entertain them with games, songs and activities. They always had a hige amount of fun together and they were always excited to see her.
She was also punctual, reliable and flexible with providing additional ad hoc babysitting. Our children still demand to see Elaine when we come back to London - even going so far as to suggest we go out so she can look after them - which is a testament to the kind of nanny she is!
