We feel incredibly fortunate to have Cathy care for our son. From the very beginning, she has been exceptionally nurturing and attentive, always prioritizing his well-being in everything she does. It's clear how deeply she cares about him, and her calm, loving presence has made a lasting impact on our family.
Cathy is highly focused on our son's development. She engages him in thoughtful, age-appropriate activities that support his learning and growth. One of the things we've especially appreciated is how often she takes him to explore new places—parks, museums, story times—which has helped broaden his experiences and nurture his natural curiosity.
She's also a fantastic communicator. Cathy keeps us consistently informed about his day and shares helpful updates and insights. She’s always willing to listen to our needs and preferences as parents, which has made our partnership with her feel very supportive and collaborative.
Most importantly, our son absolutely loves Cathy. He formed a strong bond with her incredibly quickly, and it’s easy to see how much joy and comfort she brings him. Knowing he’s in such caring and capable hands has meant the world to us.
We wholeheartedly recommend Cathy to any family looking for a nurturing, development-focused, and truly dedicated nanny

Cathy is a passionate, reliable, punctual, yet flexible professional with very good communication skills and a wealth of experience. We required temporary night nursing for our 6 months old premature baby. Her approach to our baby was reassuring, and our baby was feeding and sleeping well with her, it is fair to say that her contribution has helped to establish a more workable night routine for us. She has given breastfeeding advice to us as she has specialised in that area. I can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who needs a reliable nanny for day and night.

Cathy has been helping look after my 7 and 5 year girls for a couple of months now. She has been really good with them since day 1. I have peace of mind going to work and coming back home knowing that the my girls have been well looked after. The amount of knowledge and skills set she has goes beyond Nannying and Babysitting duties. We are very lucky to have her as a Nanny for our girls.

We are so very lucky to have found Cathy. Our 14m old son has an underlying heart condition so you can imagine how cautious we were when we were searching for someone to help me look after him whilst I returned to work.
Cathy is professional, caring, trustworthy, reliable and simply, a genuinely lovely person who is extraordinarily qualified. Not only is she a professional nurse, she has loads of experience looking after babies and older children.
We couldn’t have found a more perfect person to support our family and hope she will continue to look after our son in the future!

We have asked Cathy several times to look after our son. She is always so friendly and made us feel comfortable from the first meeting. As a first time parent it can be a bit daunting leaving your child with someone you don’t know; however, we felt very at ease with Cathy. As well as the wealth of experience she has with children, she is reliable, trustworthy and responds quickly to communication. We have no hesitation in recommending Cathy to anyone.

Cathy has been looking after our newborn little girl and has been wonderful. She is so knowledgeable and has really put our mind at ease when leaving her. She is reliable and genuinely cares for the little ones. Couldn’t recommend more!
