Jo has cared for our son four days a week since October 2021, since he was 8 months old. Since our daughter arrived in June last year, she has also helped care for both children at times during my maternity leave and on a full time basis since I returned to work.

Jo is a fantastic nanny and has been a rock to our family. She is unfailingly reliable, totally committed to the children, kind and dependable. She is always on time and flexible to my demanding working hours. She is very efficient and tidy, and always plans fun activities and play dates for the children.

Jo thinks of fun outdoor and indoor activities for the children to do. She loves to take them out and about, and my son has developed a real love of reading and the library thanks to their regular trips to our local library. She is a very friendly and sociable nanny who likes arranging play dates with other nannies, which has really encouraged our son to become more confident and sociable.

Our children (and in particular, our son) completely adore Jo, and she has become like a second Mum to him. This is down to her warmth and the amazing relationship she has built with him (and us) over the years. We honestly consider her part of the family! Jo is a very kind and caring person, and is endlessly patient with our son (who has been through the terrible twos, and is now a full blown 'threenager'!). She is also fantastic with our nine month old daughter and clearly loves spending time with young children.

In my view, any family would be incredibly lucky to have Jo as their nanny. She is a superstar and also a good friend and support as a new mum juggling work and baby life!
