We’ve felt very lucky to have had Paula to babysit for our lively eight-year-old twins. She’s extremely kind, thoughtful and capable, and importantly, popular with the children. On one occasion, she collected them from school, drove them home and stayed until our return in the late evening, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her for a longer stint. She was previously nanny for a local family and I always noticed how well she looked after all of them.
