Wonderful, creative and capable nanny who we trust

Gemma is currently our wonderful nanny and has worked for us the past 18 months, looking after our 3-year old son.

Our son is starting Preschool soon, which is why we're ending our contract with Gemma. We are therefore very keen to support Gemma’s search for a new family; she is the best!

More information about Gemma:

Gemma has looked after our 3-year old son since he was 22 months old. She worked 3 days/week initially, and now works 4 days/week for us, 8.30am-5.30pm. Gemma is highly experienced with babies and toddlers, and came recommended by local parents who absolutely raved about her.

We have found Gemma to be utterly conscientious and committed to our son's wellbeing. She has formed a very special bond with him, becoming almost a second mum. He’s grown so much under her care and we feel very lucky to have been able to give him such a nurturing start in life.

Gemma’s strengths are her deep experience and her genuine love of children; she is playful, energetic and fun-loving and our son laughs with her all day long. She is also extremely calm, patient and creative, which is necessary with strong-willed toddlers like ours!

Gemma is highly conscientious, taking great care to understand our son’s routine and follow through with every detail. She finds playful ways to get him to do everyday tasks, and always pays close attention to his health and safety. We feel completely comfortable letting Gemma take him to the doctor, the dentist, or out on adventures—which has made it possible for us to focus on our careers knowing he’s in the best hands.

Under Gemma’s care, our son has developed on all fronts; his confidence, speech and motor skills are all flourishing. And most importantly he is happy, trusting and kind to others, which is in great part down to Gemma’s nurture, care and guidance.

Wishing Gemma the absolute best. We are confident she will be snapped up—she is everything you could want for your children.
