We cannot recommend Valya highly enough. She has been an absolutely wonderful nanny to our children, and saying goodbye has been incredibly difficult for all of us. Her time with our family has come to an end only because our children have now started school, otherwise, we would have been delighted to continue having her as part of our family.
From the very beginning, she has been exceptionally reliable, honest, trustworthy and dependable. We have always had complete peace of mind knowing that our children were in her care. She is punctual, responsible and incredibly conscientious, and we have always been able to rely on her without hesitation.
What makes her truly special, however, is the genuine love and affection she has for our children. She has cared for them as though they were her own, with enormous warmth, patience and kindness. She has been much more than a nanny to them, she has been a trusted and loving presence in their everyday lives, and they have formed a very special bond with her. We have always felt that their happiness, safety and wellbeing were genuinely her priority.
She is also exceptionally efficient and organised. She keeps everything beautifully clean and tidy, is proactive rather than needing to be asked to do things, and manages the many demands of family life with remarkable competence. She is someone who sees what needs doing and simply gets on with it.
Her flexibility has also been invaluable to us. She has always been accommodating when our plans or schedules have changed and has approached occasional additional requests with a positive and helpful attitude. She has made our lives considerably easier and has always been willing to go the extra mile when needed.
Most importantly, she is a person of wonderful character and integrity. We have trusted her completely with our children and our home, and we have never once had reason to question that trust.
She has become a very important part of our family, and we are genuinely sad that this chapter has come to an end. We feel extremely lucky to have had her looking after our children during such an important part of their early years.
Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have Valya looking after their children. We recommend her wholeheartedly and without reservation. She would be an exceptional nanny for any family, and we would be very happy to speak personally with anyone considering employing her.

Dearest Silvia!!!
Thank you so incredibly much for this beautiful, heartfelt review — it has touched my heart so deeply, I have no words to say how much it means to me 🥹💛
Caring for your precious children and being welcomed so warmly into your family was the greatest privilege of my life. I cherished every single moment with them — they are such extraordinary, wonderful little souls, and I will love and miss them always.
I am so looking forward to seeing you all this Saturday — it warms my heart to know we’ll meet again soon! 💛
Thank you for trusting me so completely, for your endless kindness, and for making me feel truly loved and cherished as one of your own. Every memory we made together is a treasure I will hold close in my heart forever 🕊️
I wish your beloved children every joy and happiness as they begin this new chapter at school — they deserve nothing less than the whole world. And thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for everything.
With all my love and deepest gratitude,
Valya ❤️
I'm writing this letter to recommend Valya as a nanny for your child care needs. She took care of our daughters Mia and Amelia))) Her exceptional work ethic and child care skills make her an amazing nanny.
Throughout the time she worked for me, Valya displayed patience, empathy, and attention to detail for my family. It's clear to me that working as a nanny is a passion for Valya.She loves working with the children, and I see this manifest in her creative ideas for activities and care for creating a safe environment. She always arrived on time with enthusiasm for seeing children develop their educational skills and experiences.
My girls really liked cooking with Valya and especially baking sweet treats)))
Once again, I would very much recommend Valya’s services to anyone looking for a quality nanny. She is a patient, hardworking, and caring individual whose presence had a tremendously positive impact on my
family.
Thank you so much Valya for all your help and love that you gave for my family

We can't recommend Valentyna enough. She looked after our daughter for 3 years and we couldn't have asked for a more caring and professional nanny, who is a pleasure to be around.
Valentyna is highly professional and knows exactly what our daughter needs, in terms of care, support, and stimulation. Every day, she greets her with a massive smile! She is very well spoken and well travelled which has been great for our daughter’s exposure to a rich vocabulary. She is also well organised, helping our daughter to develop a routine (e.g. around good sleep habits), and she's really helpful around the house.
Valentyna is also super intelligent and fun! She takes initiative and as a mother of two children we have always gone with her advice! She reads to our daughter, takes her to the playground, sets up playdates (with our express permission) and to classes. She is also deeply kind and sensitive.
We absolutely love having her around.
Our girl is now ready for school. We could not have asked for better help at the start of her life. And we are wholeheartedly happy to recommend her.

Thanks Tina,I really appreciate your lovely review.Thank you for trusting me to care of your beautiful son. I miss you all ❤️
We had the pleasure of having Valentyna as our nanny for the past few months, and we couldn't be happier with her care for our daughter. From the moment she started, it was evident that she possessed a genuine love for children and a natural ability to connect with them.
Valentyna was always punctual and created a warm and nurturing environment. Her engaging and creative approach to playtime and learning ensured that our daughter was stimulated and entertained, while learning at the same time.
She always kept us updated on our daughter's activities and milestones.
Moreover, Valentyna is extremely organized and reliable. She managed the daily routine absolutely seamlessly, including meal preparation, scheduling activities, and maintaining a clean and tidy living space. We used to call her superwoman!
She is dedicated, compassionate, and has a genuine passion for childcare.
She always goes above and beyond and we’re forever grateful for the time she spent with us! Our daughter was thriving in her care.
If we hadn’t moved away, we would never have parted!

Valentyna is such a knowledgeable, passionate, and highly skilled nanny, providing amazing care for my son. With Valentyna, we always felt assured that our son was in good hands.

She has a wealth of experience working with children of all ages and stages, and is able to adapt to meet the unique needs of each child in her care. Our son was always so happy spending time with her!
In addition, Valentyna is passionate about her work and genuinely loves children. She is patient, caring, and always went the extra mile to ensure that our child felt safe, loved, and happy.
