We have been absolutely delighted with Habibe who has been caring for our 5 month old son. She has been a very reliable nanny. She is always punctual, prepared, and consistent. As new parents, knowing that she will show up exactly when she says she will and handle everything calmly and capably has given us enormous peace of mind. Our son is comfortable and happy in her care, which speaks volumes. We would recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy, dedicated, and highly professional nanny.

Habibe is looking after my twins on weekends and sometimes during the week.
She is so warm, flexible, and wonderful with children! She always kept them engaged with fun and creative activities, making pancakes, going shopping, etc and they truly loved spending time with her. We felt very lucky to have her support our family.
Thank you 🧡
