Dionne worked with our family for three years looking after our two sons. They grew up with her during ages of 3-6 and 2-5. I would recommend her to anyone.

We have been extremely lucky to have Dionne for such a long time. She worked for us part time one day[[ per week: at times full days, at other times just after school. Dionne's flexible approach to work has been a blessing to us, especially as childcare can be an ever changing situation. She has been willing to do longer days during some school holidays, and not minded taking time off when childcare is not needed.

The boys love Dionne. She plays games with them and thinks of fun activities for them. The boys have also visited Dionne's home, had fun with her dogs and played in her garden. She took them to outings and children's events. They also adore her daughter who is a great friend to them. When we have come home, we have found the house cleaner than either of us could keep it, and the boys are bathed and happy. Dionne has a sunny, positive disposition, and is always happy. She is also understanding of lively children.

Because her daughter is starting at a school different to ours, Dionne will not be able to collect our boys anymore. We will genuinely miss her and are sorry to lose such a perfect nanny. We hope to stay in touch.
