Timnit is a fantastic woman - she is buzzing with warmth and creativity and got along with our son straight away. She was very respectful and genuinely interested in him as a person and character. Timnit spent a few days with him when we needed emergency child care, as well as babysitting in the evening, feeding him and putting him to bed. We also really value the multiple languages Timnit speaks, so our son could practice hearing and familiarising himself with Italian as he is growing up in a bilingual family. We were very grateful to have Timnit living near us whilst we were in Islington.

Thank you so much! It was a pleasure helping you with Little I. ♡︎
Timnit has helped us out a number of times when we've needed childcare cover at short notice. The first time she helped us, she arrived and got up to speed with things and picked things up really quickly. Even though i hadn't spent lots of time with Timnit before leaving her to look after our daughter, i felt so comfortable and confident with her.
She understood the routine, where everything is etc really quickly and takes the initiative and is very proactive. Timnit is such a happy and lovely presence in our house and our 1.5 year old warmed to her so quickly. We love it when she's here!

𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮! 🙏
Timnit is a fantastic nanny. I went back to work after 10 months and commuted into central London while my partner works from home. I was initially very nervous at leaving our daughter, but Timnit is an absolute pro.
We met Timnit for an initial conversation to let her know what we were looking for. And immediately, we liked her from the get-go. Warm, caring and firm. She mentioned she would bring her daughter who was a month younger than ours to work and we were open to this, considering Timnit has 3 children of her own, I knew she could handle it.
Some people might be nervous or reticent about bringing her daughter, but it worked brilliantly and now I couldn’t conceive of our child not always having her pal with her. They have become amazing friends; they eat at the same time, nappy change at the same time and even sleep at the same time. They have a brilliant rhythm. Timnit uses her own initiative to find suitable activities throughout the day, takes them out to the park, to playcentres and out for food, cooks great meals for both and nourishes them both mentally and emotionally. She also regularly sends WhatsApp messages throughout the day which I look forward to and it's so lovely to see them all enjoying themselves and getting around the city. Timnit is firm, attentive, caring, and, she helpfully makes suggestions with regards to different foods, amending schedules or things we might need which I find incredibly valuable. We will be sad to see Timnit go as our child will be resuming nursery full time but hopefully our daughters will remain good friends. I cannot tell you how reassuring it is to have Timnit look after our child, and I can recommend her highly.

Timnit is looking after our child after school. She is a great nanny, very reliable and trustable. My child has a great time with her and her children. Very often Timnit takes them to a local park and they have a great time. My child is super happy to be with Timnit. She is very fun, caring, understanding and has a lot of patient and experience with children.

Timnit is a nanny with caring, trustworthy and professional sides. She would give care, interaction, as well as guidance to your babies and toddlers. She was a temporary nanny for our two-year daughter in May 2021. Timnit engaged with her from the first minute; she can focus amazingly with the needs of your toddler; her very good articulation (in both English and Italian) and her focus are impressive. In addition, she cooks very nice food; our daughter loved it. Timnit also can adapt to any baby and toddler due to her experience and expertise; she can make them comfortable and calm in the case of tantrum. In addition, she also makes sure our daughter have a similar routine as before; so she made sure she sleeps during her nap time. While she is a very good nanny, she is also experienced in teaching toddlers and babies new skills with different toys and activities (indoor and outdoor). I would like highly recommend Timnit as a nanny; you can trust in her and your precious one would have wonderful time with her.

Timnit has worked with our family as sole change nanny for 2 years from 2017. She looks after our 2 daughters who were 1 and 4 when she started with us. Like the other parents have written here, she is a wonderful nanny. There are many things I appreciate about Timnit, but what I value most is that she wholeheartedly looks after the whole family. She respects children and parents equally. She observes and takes her cue from my parenting style. That means we have a consistent approach to important things like boundaries and discipline which makes her the best kind of partner in supporting our family.
She is kind, considerate and, for me, strikes exactly the right balance between fun and firm. She puts children (and adults) at ease, while making sure they are safe and happy. She is extremely patient and never loses her temper. Timnit brings her daughter to work and this arrangement has worked brilliantly for us. The girls enjoy having another playmate and Timnit manages the 3 children with ease and is always professional and fair in resolving any minor conflicts. The girls have formed a truly special and lasting bond with her daughter and they continue to play together regularly, even while Timnit is on maternity leave.
It’s obvious not just to me, but other parents who’ve observed her looking after my daughters that Timnit loves what she does. That passion shows through in the high quality care she gives and in the types of relationships she forms with children and parents. She recognises how special each child is and what their qualities are. She looks for ways to nurture those qualities through activities they enjoy. She and her family will remain lifelong friends and I recommend her with confidence to any family.

I can't imagine trusting anyone more with my children. Timnit is reliable, very helpful and thoughtful.
Timnit has been working with us since April 2015 with our first son (at that time 16 months old) and from February this year she has also took great care of our second one. I cannot say enough about Timnit, she is trustworthy, motivated and able to make herself tune-up with the different requirements of my 2 boys (now 10 months old and almost 3 y-o) and my family. She is always on time but also flexible to stay longer in case we need her.
She is very good in planning the day and finding activities, taking the boys to playgrounds, courses or playing in the park. She prepares very nice and healthy Italian meals, and also tidy up afterwards and leave the kitchen clean.
Sometimes she does also some babysitting for us in the evening, this involves playing/reading with the kids, cooking them dinner, feeding, bathing and putting them in bed. Our boys enjoy her company very much and behave better with her than with us!
On a general note, I think she is genuinely interested in children’s development and presents new ways of learning that captured their attention. Timnit possess all qualities that make a nanny successful and she has become part of our family.
I do recommend her with no doubt.

Timnit is a wonderful nanny whom I trust completely and whom I cannot recommend more highly. Any family would be very lucky to have her indeed.
She is experienced, punctual, reliable, upbeat, confident, takes initiative and has fantastic intuition when it comes to my son. His little face lights up from the moment he hears her keys in the door. She is an excellent cook, with fantastic ideas and tips for getting my 12 month (when she started) son to try and enjoy different foods. She is very proactive and organised, so I knew that each day they were off on an exciting outing or going to a relevant class; from singing to baby theatre. She is also very experienced with administering a Salbutamol inhaler – no easy task with a young baby – which was a great help and reassurance, as my son needed this medication regularly whilst in her care.
Finally, Timnit’s genuine dedication and love for my son is very special; as well as the enthusiasm and support she demonstrates in his development and learning.
Timnit has been an indispensible part of our little family; as a devoted nanny to my son and a friend to myself. We are very sad to see her go but wish her every happiness as she starts her own family.

Timnit was wonderful: I needed a last minute sitter and she came to pick up my 7 and 13 year old and went on a day of activities with them. They were delighted. Thank you Timnit!

We have been using Timnit as our evening babysitter since the beginning of the year. She prepares dinner for our 4 year old son, plays with him and bathes him then puts him to bed. She is punctual and reliable and our son loves spending time with her. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to babysit their child.
