My daughter (now 15 months) adores Bethany. She was a temporary nanny for us over the summer holiday, 2-3 days a week, for 2 months. We hope she'll come back to babysit whenever she can!
Bethany is always kind, calm, polite, punctual (to the minute), accommodating and responsible, and most importantly my daughter loves her. She is unflappable; in her two months with us, I’ve never seen her at all stressed about anything!
She’s very good at communicating about logistics, as well as keeping me in the loop about what she and my daughter have done during the day (sending me photos and videos of them at the farm, or at play groups, etc.). She’s proactive about researching activities and fun places to go with my daughter. She’s cooked carefully for my daughter whenever I’ve asked, and has always been very patient with feeding, even during long, fussy dinners.
Most importantly, Bethany got on incredibly well with my daughter right from the beginning. She’s very kind, friendly and affectionate with her, and quickly built up a great rapport. My daughter was going through separation anxiety at the beginning of Bethany’s time with us, and Bethany dealt with it all very sensitively and calmly.
