Reliable, Caring and Patient

Monique has been a childminder and babysitter for our two children, aged 6 and 21 months, for over a year. Monique's childcare setting is a safe and stimulating environment with outdoor and indoor play and many creative activities. For babysitting, Monique is always punctual and gets stuck in straight away, helping with dinner, bath and bedtime. She handles tricky situations, such as anxiety separation, with calm, patience and expertise, and very quickly picks up our children's interests and plays to these.
We can't recommend her highly enough.

Lovely patient and kind nanny

Vera helped look after my 4 1/2 year old daughter when she left nursery early this summer. Vera was able to take her to the playground and join in with daughter's role plays, such as tea parties and weddings! Vera also helped tidy up, prepare lunches. Vera helped play with my 4 month old baby and changed his nappy when I was busy! I left Vera with my daughter for several hours at our home. Vera is flexible, punctual and her spoken English language is developing well.

Response by Vera on 02/08/2024:

Thank you Olivia for your feedback. I was glad to meet your family. Your children are wonderful. Your daughter already from an early age understands what she likes and what she doesn’t like and knows how to get what she wants, she knows what she is interested in and how to have fun. She is very sociable and interesting. Thank you. It was a pleasure to meet you.

Couldn’t recommend highly enough!

Fouzia has looked after our daughter for a year since she was 10 months old. We are desperately sad to leave her, due to relocating to Surrey, otherwise our daughter would have stayed with Fouzia until school age. Fouzia is like part of the family! Our daughter loves going to her house and playing with the other children. She has received a lot of focus and attention, with structured play, as well as park visits and playing in the lovely big garden chasing cats! Our daughter is ahead with her development due to Fouzia’s care, with wonderful songs and stories and creative games, and she comes back having learnt new words and actions and generally just very happy and content. Being able to socialise with other children half the time, of different ages, has also been hugely beneficial, particularly during this strange year of social restriction. Fouzia has been incredibly flexible and understanding of changes to our schedule and she is very easy to communicate with and always positive and helpful. Fouzia sends us photos and videos of Our daughter throughout the day, which always makes us smile and helps reassure us, particularly if we are suffering from separation anxiety, like in the early days of returning to work. Fouzia also provided diary entries giving details of our daughter’s day. We wish Fouzia could continue to care for Luna, but we will be staying in touch and visiting as she a wonderful person and has given our daughter such a great start in life. We recommend her to children of all ages and would be happy to provide a reference over the phone as well.
