Jess worked with us for 2 months over the recent Christmas and New year due to my truncated work engagement. Jess is vibrant and full of energy, with lots of creative ideas on how to engage children. I enjoyed returning home to spy the latest pieces of art work. She was also very flexible often arriving early and staying late (over and beyond the call of duty). Jess has a great personality and wonderful rapport with my daughter which made going to work very easy. Her duties included pickups, preparing light meals, bath time, teeth brushing, administering regular daily medicines/analgesics, reading bedtime stories and accompanying my daughter on weekend activities. As we were visitors to Canterbury I was unable to bring many of my daughter's toys, Jess kindly lent us many of her childhood games including canvas, paints, iron-on beads and marble run. Don't be put off by her age, Jess is incredibly mature for her age. I would gladly use her services again and recommend her to parents.
