Fearn has been the most amazing nanny to our now 2.5 year old daughter (and more
recently helped us with the transition to two children after the addition of our new
daughter). Fearn quickly became part of our family and we are so sad to be having to say
goodbye to her as we are moving out of London, which has come sooner than we had
anticipated. If not for this, we would have hoped that Fearn would have been with us for
many more years.
Fearn has worked with us since the start of December 2024, and during that time has
helped a huge amount with our daughter’s development, in terms of speech, counting,
manners, learning the alphabet and – the biggest of all – potty training (which I was
dreading but she managed successfully in 3 days with no fuss at all). As first time
parents she has been fantastic at doing as we ask and taking our lead in terms of
approach, but also offered tips and guidance when we have asked, potty training and
preparing our daughter for the arrival of her little sister being great examples of this
where we were very keen to have guidance from someone as experienced as Fearn. She
plans fun, educational and age appropriate activities both in and out of the house,
including things like baking, painting, museum visits, trips to the park and fun outdoor
spaces, soft play, gymnastics and swimming. We feel that she cares for our daughter as
if she was her own family, she is very loving with her and also sets appropriate
boundaries as necessary. She has been great at forming relationships with other
nannies with similar aged children, and often arranges outings and playdates with other
nannies and children who she knows our daughter likes to play with.
Fearn is always punctual, and has never been late. Her communication during the day is
fantastic – we always know what they are doing and how the day is going and she shares lots
of pictures to keep us updated (at our request, we love seeing what they are getting up
to!). She cooks balanced, nutritious meals for our daughter that she loves, ensuring a
good variety of food and lots of fruit and vegetables, and accommodating our
preferences. She ensures we always have a well stocked freezer of home cooked meals
for use when they get home late from an all day outing, or for us to give her at the
weekend, which is really helpful so that we can spend as much quality time with her as
possible when we are not working.
I have been home for the past 2.5 months on maternity leave and it has been a pleasure
having Fearn in the house and helping during that time. She has been very conscious of
the challenges of having a newborn and a toddler and given me space when needed but
also been happy to take care of the baby so that I can spend some time with our toddler,
something that has really helped to ease the transition.
We really cannot recommend Fearn highly enough, we trust her wholeheartedly with our
toddler and she is the only person other than immediate family I am happy to leave our
newborn with. She will be a wonderful addition to your family and I’m only sad that we
can’t take her with us to our new home.
