Caroline was our baby’s nanny for 4.5 months, starting when he was just over a year old, and supporting us through a transition before we moved abroad. We do not have family nearby so it was a big transition for the little one to be looked after by anyone other than us, and Caroline was a blessing. Our son developed a rapport with her from the first day and she was very good at distracting him as we said goodbye. She picked up his cues, and little things he enjoyed and really worked with those, and everything went at his pace and needs on the day. She was also very respectful of him which was really important for us, and fully aligned with the way we parent.

We worked from home and Caroline was very happy to work around that. We were careful not to be disruptive of their day but equally she was very happy for us to pop in as needed. This stood out for us because we interviewed a few nannies prior who were adamant that parents not be in the house.

We are very grateful to have crossed paths with Caroline, so that our son could get used to a new caregiver in a very gentle and supportive way.
