Mar was an excellent Nanny to my son (age 7mo to 1.5 years). She Nannied for us part-time but was always dependable, pleasant, cleanly, and most important, caring and attentive to our child. I was particularly impressed with how she loved to engage with him - she’s a natural teacher.

Mar looked after our son (starting at 5 months old) for 7 months. She is very responsible, safety conscious and is phenomenal when it comes to baby development. She was always trying to teach our son new things, gradually increasing the difficulty of the tasks for him and I never thought a baby could do so much! She really gave him her 100% focus. She regularly took him to baby groups and set up playdates for him (all pre-Covid). She also cooks from scratch, is health conscious, and cooked very nice food for him. He's now 3 and he has a great appreciation of all vegetables, which I think is due to the introduction he got so early on. We'd recommend her to anyone looking for help with a newborn, baby or toddler.

Mar supported us for a few nights when our son was 5 months old and still had an erratic sleep pattern. As my maternity leave was nearing its end, we wanted to have someone to help us for a few evening and nights.
She's great with young babies and is passionate about baby and child development.
She's helped us with his routine and with steering him gently towards getting back to sleep with limited help.
She's a wonderful person to have around who is very discreet when around and full of helpful tips and ideas. She's an all-round fantastic person to help you with your little one.
