Jodie

Couldn't ask for more

Jodie has been working for us for the last three years, starting off full time in a nanny share and now part time just looking after my two sons, now age 2 and 3. Jodie has a very natural way with my two boys and they love spending time with her. She is extremely caring and pro-active, planning fun and educational activities. She keeps the boys to our set routine, and succeeded in getting my one year old to nap in his cot rather than walking round the park in his pram! Jodie is very receptive to following what we want the boys to do as well as making suggestions and coming up with ideas for them.
Jodie has become part of the family and I never have to worry when I am leaving for work as I trust her totally with the care of my sons. I could not recommend her more highly.

Perfect Nanny

Jodie was a fantastic find. From the first meeting we knew she would fit into our family perfectly and she did not disappoint during her time (approx 10 months) with us. She made going back to work much easier knowing that she was there for our son. I never spent time worrying about him - just wishing (when she sent all the lovely photos through of their activities) that I could be there too!

She created a real bond with him from the first day, which still continues when we have the odd play date! She always put his needs first and I think it’s safe to say that we were all genuinely gutted when it was time for her move on.

She was punctual, friendly, and well organised, managing to keep him entertained and really happy whilst keeping everything just so in the house.

She helped foster his love of books and spent hours reading to him. She was open to ideas, followed house rules around tv with no questions asked, tried new things, and kept herself and the boy busy with classes, crafts and park trips, and was always researching the best things to do with a 1 year old in London.

I can honestly say our only issue was that we had to buy a new freezer to store our own food as she had a great love of batch cooking!

Amazing nanny- we were so lucky with Jodie!

We absolutely hit the jackpot when we employed Jodie! Going back to work after maternity leave is terrifying enough, without having to hand your child over to a virtual stranger. Jodie made the transition so easy for us. She is professional and personal and very, very thoughtful. Jodie is a very reliable and punctual individual – we have been able to rely on her 100%. Jodie has a very strong work ethic and is always willing to go the extra mile – making surprise arts and crafts gifts and then ensuring that he house is absolutely immaculate. This is something I still have not been able to manage! She often thinks outside the box with regards to activities and ensures our child has a different, structured activity every day. As we are both teachers, this is something that we really value. We have been very impressed with Jodie’s caring, nurturing and positive attitude alongside her professionalism and have found it a huge relief to have her in our lives. She has instilled our child with good manners and basic skills that can only come from a nice person. I would highly recommend Jodie for a position within your household; however she will be sorely missed.
