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!
