Gayle

Our Wonderful Nanny

With great pleasure and wholeheartedly I recommend our nanny, who cared for my twins from the age of one until they started nursery. Her presence in our home was a blessing.

From day one, she proved to be incredibly helpful, reliable, and flexible—always showing up with a smile, even during challenging times when the kids were sick. Her dedication brought so much comfort and stability to our household.

She consistently went above and beyond her duties. During nap times, she would tidy up the kitchen and living room, put away the children’s clothes, and ensure everything was in order. Her initiatives made a huge difference in our daily lives.

What truly set her apart was her creativity and preparedness. She always had engaging activities and fun ideas to entertain the twins, helping them learn and grow through play. As a first-time mom, I especially appreciated her thoughtful tips and advice on handling toddler behaviour—her experience and insight were invaluable.

Her warmth, professionalism, and genuine care for my children made her an irreplaceable part of our family. I cannot recommend her highly enough to any family looking for a nurturing, dependable, and proactive caregiver.

My son enjoys spending time with her, appreciating her enthusiasm and variety of ideas. She is a warm, positive, smart, flexible and reliable person with a real passion for children and their growth. Thank you Gayle .

Nanny reference

Gayle has been our wonderful part time nanny for the last year. We have 3 children aged 13, 9 and 3, one of whom has significant learning difficulties. She has been like our 'guardian angel' who supported us during the pandemic with afternoon and evening childcare while my husband and I were out at work in Keyworker roles. Gayle plans fun engaging activities for our children, and has endless energy to play, do craft activities, bake, go on outdoor adventures, and much more... Our children love her and look forward to seeing her every week.

Gayle has collected our children from school and clubs in her car, has prepared nutritious family meals, helps with laundry and ironing, helps to keep our home tidy and clean and has provided babysitting at night too. She has also been extremely flexible and worked extra hours at short notice, and to help cover childcare during the half term holidays.

Gayle is honest, reliable, compassionate, and supports us to teach our family values. She takes extremely good care of our children, with a high level of safety awareness, is a first aider and we have felt completely confident leaving her with our precious children.

Gayle also has years of experience teaching children with special needs and is amazing with our child who uses sign language and needs additional support for his global development and to manage behaviour. She simultaneously looks after our other children who have different interests and needs, managing to engage them all in joint activities interacting beautifully with each other.

I would be more than happy to provide a further more detailed reference for Gayle as required.
