Reference - 2025
Sam joined our family just before we had our second baby to look after our then 15 month old son whilst I was in hospital. After our second son was born, she helped look after our baby and 16 month old son.
She has greatly helped our family; she cared for our newborn son whilst I was recovering from a c section. This included feeding him, winding him, changing his nappies and soothing him to sleep. She also looked after our second child by playing with him or taking him out walking or to the park.
She is very caring, patient and experienced. She gave me lots of valuable advice over the last year, and our boys are very fond of her. She has been instrumental in their development. I trusted her completely to care for my boys.
She also assisted in cooking and house chores, which was invaluable when you have two very young children.
Our eldest son is now starting at pre school for socialisation, so unfortunately we no longer need her. I’m sure she would be an asset to your family.

Sam has regularly looked after my son - now almost three - since he was nine months old and I cannot recommend her highly enough. As a mum herself, she is always firm but fair and fun, and she works hard to provide a variety of activities for my son to engage in, at various local playgroups, toddler classes and parks. Sam is caring and thoughtful both towards my little boy and also me - she keeps me informed of what my son is busy with or how he is feeling whilst in her care and I have always felt totally confident that he is happy and, most importantly, safe when with her. She is also a stickler for encouraging good behaviour and lovely manners in little ones, which reflects my own approach and has been an added bonus!

Samantha worked for our family for quite a few weeks while I was in the middle of a job change. Samantha looked after my 9 months old very fussy boy. Samantha was so naturally warm and welcoming that it didn't take more than a few minutes before my boy started playing with her. I could easily leave them alone while they explored the toys and books. The little one would babble so much to her and looked very happy.
My boy had never taken milk/food from anyone else (despite trying for weeks in nursery) but Samantha managed to feed him full lunch and some milk as well. Samantha could put him for a nap and she was extremely careful about child safety. Even though we have a very sensitive child monitor she made sure that went up to his room to check that he was safe. Samantha was also very careful about making sure that none of the toys could cause chocking hazard and removed anything that didn't look safe (toys from my older boy). She used that time to help me with some household chores like cleaning baby bottles, loading dishwasher. For a busy mum like me it was extremely helpful.
