Luana has been an absolutely fantastic babysitter and we cannot recommend her highly enough. She is punctual, reliable, trustworthy, and always professional, while also being warm, kind, and genuinely caring.
From the outset, she took the time to listen to our routines and preferences, and was always respectful of our wishes. She was incredibly easy to communicate with and a pleasure to work with.
Most importantly, our son absolutely adored her. He took to her easily, was always happy and settled in her care, and clearly felt safe, comfortable, and loved. Luana has a wonderful way with children—she is patient, engaging, attentive, and naturally nurturing.
Knowing our son was in such capable hands gave us complete peace of mind. We feel very fortunate to have found Luana and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for exceptional childcare. Any family would be lucky to have her.

Many thanks!
It was an absolute pleasure to work with such a lovely and welcoming family.
I was so happy I could built up a really positive and fulfilling relationship with your little boy and all the family members. Thanks a lot for the opportunity offered!
Luana looked after our 14-month-old for four days and was an absolute lifesaver. She was punctual every day bringing activities and singing to entertain him. She even taught him animal sounds songs and some Italian words. She was incredibly helpful and responsible with his snacks meals and nap times. Having her at home gave me peace of mind. She’s truly professional and we’ll definitely be seeing her again. Thank you Luana!

Thanks a lot for the opportunity, dear parents, I am so glad.
It was so fulfilling taking care of your little angel, and I felt really welcomed.
Luana looked after my three young children (3, 5, 7) one day/week for most of a year. She was always brilliant with communication and punctuality and provided stimulating and caring childcare for the children. I specifically requested that she teach the children her mother-tongue, Italian, which she gladly did. It was a pleasure knowing Luana and we looked forward to her visit weekly.
