I'm a mother of three children, aged 4, 2 and 2 weeks. Experiencing Anna's incredible way with children and parents alike is a genuine privilege; my partner and I feel utterly blessed to have her play such an important role in our children's lives. She was the first person we called to look after the older two when I went into labour two weeks ago as we trust her implicitly and knew she would handle the situation with sensitivity and care.

We share Anna with another family two days a week; she cares for the younger ones during the day, then collects the older two from school and cares for them all until bedtime. Obviously, I look after the baby at the moment, but Anna is fantastic with him and gets stuck in helping out when she senses I need a break, which is a complete Godsend.

Tailoring the afternoons to suit all of the children is something Anna does with ease. Her manner is upbeat and engaging, the activities she provides are creative and original, and she always provides a loving yet disciplined environment where the children are constantly surrounded by a sense of fun.

When Anna cares for my children, not only does she bring education and diversity to their day, she also always finds time to provide invaluable advice and support when I'm struggling as a parent. Having confidence in my children’s care and wellbeing is absolutely paramount, and when I leave my children in Anna’s charge I know that I can rest completely assured that they are safe, happy and intellectually engaged.

I am very pleased to be able to vouch for Anna as an incredible and outstanding nanny or childminder, and am happy to be contacted to verify this testimony or provide further information.
