About Me
40 yr old mum of Effie (3) and Arla (6) - We live in Kenya, but are from from/ travel to the UK during holidays, staying in Kew at my Parents house, near the station.
My Requirements
Needing a proactive - hands on - nanny to help me out the week of 23-27th June. I will be recovering from a surgery and my daughters Effie & Arla (ages 3 & 6) are flying out - (after 2.5 weeks apart), to see me in Kew. I cannot lift the children, nor exert myself, so I hope to be around you all for part of the nanny working hours, but I will not be able to take much action & need the second set of hands.
Likely a 30-35 hour or so week - exact hours to be confirmed shortly!

We used Isabela as a temp nanny for one week only, when I was recovering from a surgery at my parents house, and my two daughters, ages 3 and 6 came over from abroad to visit me in the UK. She was the perfect person for the job!
Isabela is:
- Clear, no nonsense, upfront communicator
- Confident & experienced in her job of managing the kids - boundaried, yet nurturing/ fun/ empathetic/ loving
- Managed challenging situatons such as my youngest toddler not wanting to leave me & not wanting to get dressed! etc...
- Active and hands on (she disappeared for hours at a time in the heat taking kids to parks etc)
Generally, I wanted a professional nanny to take matters into her own hands, and manage the kids where I couldn't - but also be open and flexible to my joining in where possible. Plus the girls really adored her, as did the whole household!
I would definitely use Isabela again!

We hired Danny on a temporary basis for morning hours, during our 3-week-long summer holiday from Kenya to the UK to look after our girls, aged 5 and 2. She is a professional, and made everything very smooth & easy for us. From her bubbly personality, clear communication, timeliness, ease (but also authority!) with the kids which worked well, plus suggestions on local things to do. I could trust her just to get on with the morning's activities, with little of my own input, plus the girls loved her! We would highly recommend Danny and would definitely hire her again!

Mary looked after our 3 Yr old daughter very well, and with much kindness for 5 days on a temporary basis when we were back visiting the UK. Our daughter often came home excited about her fun day, and Mary gave us regular updates through the day which we appreciated.
