Anna's 5 Star Reviews

Wonderful nanny

Anna is a wonderful nanny for our one year old twin daughters. We were finding it difficult to get childcare, but Anna blew us away with how good she is with the girls. She does 4 days a week, 9-5, and the girls are really happy with the arrangement. Anna's full of energy, taking the girls out to the park, the library and on the bus, and doing loads of things with them at home like sing and sign - they've both started signing after only a few weeks. Anna also makes delicious food for the girls and us!

The nanny you'll never want to lose!

Anna came into our lives during the summer holidays of 2021, when I needed help managing the very differing needs of my 6 month old baby and my emotional, lively preschooler. The role was initially as a regular Mother's Help for a couple of hours each day, and Anna's immediate ability to connect with my children (despite the younger having just started experiencing separation anxiety and the elder having always been extremely wary of new people) blew me away and saved my sanity!
For the past year Anna has been helping us with occasional daytime childcare, sometimes on a sole charge basis and sometimes with me around, and also some evening babysitting.
Anna has always been happy to help out with anything we required, be that walking in the rain to get the little one to sleep in the buggy, or babywearing to get her back to sleep during an evening babysitting session. Anna is so dedicated to her role looking after children that she considers it completely normal and expected to do things which I might be a bit nervous about asking other people to do.
She cares deeply for children (&animals!) and has been extremely good with my older daughter who is very sensitive and hasn't always bonded with other caregivers. I have also found Anna very likeable and she is a good communicator, so it has been easy having her around the house when she's helping me look after the children.
All in all, Anna is everything you could ever wish for when handing your children over to a stranger. She's a modern-day Mary Poppins who is experienced and proactive and more often than not she has some exciting thing in her bag to enthrall your kids with! :)

You'd be lucky to have Anna!

Anna is looking after our 18-month old son for us on on a (almost) full time basis. She is a true professional who takes great pride in her work and I trust her implicitly with him. She is thoughtful, caring, respectful, has great initiative and takes him on lots of fun activities. She's patiently taught him lots of sign language and her dedication is paying off! She's also a fabulous cook and a committed cat-lover and has even succeeded in winning the affections of our somewhat aloof cat Slinky. I couldn't recommend her more highly; she is wonderful.
