What a gift it has been to have Jennifer as our nanny! She has helped take care of my toddler and my baby since he was a newborn, but really she has been taking care of the entire family with love, grace and enthusiasm. She is extremely reliable, trustworthy and goes out of her way to make sure everyone’s needs are met. She really IS part of the family and both my children absolutely love her. She has been amazing at coming up with specific activities for my 2.5 years old to help her acquire new skills while following her interests, and my baby boy lights up every time she walks in the room. She brings such joy, professionalism and care every time she walks in the house. 1000% recommend!

Jennifer looked after our kids aged 5 and 7 over a few weeks in the summer holidays and I have been so impressed with her.
She draws on life experience and a clear interest in the world to answer all the questions my kids were throwing at her.
She is full of ideas for activities, very caring and patient, understanding of their individual needs, and seems to just know instinctively how to handle any situation.
I would not hesitate to employ her again should the need arise and would recommend 👍

Jennifer really is like a warm hug for the whole family. She cared for all of us in a unique way.
She is punctual, good at keeping to a routine. Very dynamic, caring, creative and enjoys play with a balance discipline.
Great cook, very organised and tidy.
We wish Jennifer and her new family all the best!
