We are a family of 5 who spent one month in London this summer and heavily relied on the support provided by Maddy over a 4 weeks period, 3 days/week.
We are very grateful for everything that Maddy and Violet have done for our family over this period as it allowed us to focus on work while our daughters were well looked after.
The girls have absolutely loved every minute they spent with them. They came home every day excited to tell us about the parks they had visited, the games they had played, and all the fun they had together.Maddy has really made this summer incredibly special for them.
Violet, her daughter, is such a kind, thoughtful, and wonderfully raised young lady which is of course credit to Maddy. They both welcomed the girls from day one, included them so naturally, and were incredibly patient with them. We know that communicating wasn't always easy with their modest English, and that they were sometimes a little fussy simply because they were tired, but both Maddy and Violet always showed so much understanding, kindness, and care.
Knowing the girls were in good hands allowed us to focus on work without worrying, and that peace of mind meant more than one can imagine.
We were impressed by the energy, the warmth, the patience they have shown and for creating so many happy memories for our girls. We will all remember this summer with great fondness, and we hope our paths cross again!❤️🙏🙏🙏

Thank you so much for this lovely review.
It was a privilege and a pleasure to work with you all and your beautiful girls were impeccable, kind thoughtful, intelligent and wonderful playmates for Violet.
I appreciate your generosity and kindness and for taking the time to post this wonderful review. x
Maddy and her lovely 6 year old daughter Violet have been coming a few times a week for a combination of homeschool help, and after school pick ups. She’s also had the children some holidays - taking them across London to places on public transport such as parks, the library, museums. Maddy is reliable and consistent, she can hold boundaries with the children, and has good communication with me about what she and the children have been doing, such as craft activities, playing with toys and reading. My children love her because she’s funny and engaging. Her daughter is a brilliant addition and the children all play well together.

Thank you Chloe and Nick.
Your lovely children are a pleasure to look after and we enjoy our time with them immensely.
Maddy looked after my youngest (18 months) for the day last week. I rarely leave him with anyone, so I watched over the situation for the first hour. My son was instantly comfortable and happy with her. She kept him well fed, hydrated, entertained and clothed, and kept me informed throughout the day. I also found Maddy to be very easy to speak to and easy to get along with. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
