Emily's Reviews

The best nanny for children with special needs

Emily is an exceptional nanny. I was looking for someone to help me with my autistic son and I couldn’t have asked for more. She has made such a difference to both me and my son’s life. It is obvious the love and enjoyment she gets from working with children with special needs and the bond that my son and her have is very special. They have become great friends. I have complete peace of mind leaving my son with Emily and they always have such fun together. She really is a very special person. I have complete confidence in her. She really does know how to make a huge positive difference to the children and parents lives she works with. She is extremely emotionally intelligent, extremely responsible, intuitive to the needs of my child and brings a ray of sunshine into our lives. She has made life easier for us and I am able to have a break knowing my son is with the best person for him. She is always willing to help if I ask with a bit of cooking and help around the home and it really feels like Emily is a family member. I cannot recommend her enough. Her skills with working with children with autism are a real gift. I hope Emily is in our lives for a long time as having a child with special needs can be isolating for both parent and child and Emily helps enormously, just by knowing she is there and committed to the emotional and social development of my child has made life seem lighter. 100 per cent recommend.

A rare find! Highly emotionally intelligent nanny

Emily came to help us for a number of weeks. We homeschool our two daughters and I needed support with our house, including cleaning, and also childcare.
Emily was wonderful with our two girls and completely understood our approach to parenting, engaging the girls in creative and imaginative play and then quietly moving on to house tasks while keeping an eye on what the girls were up to.
I’ve never seen childcare like that, and I really appreciated someone else being able to encourage independent play like that (instead of simply entertaining them). She was also very invested in hearing more about our approach, and was flexible in her approaches, making little tweaks here and there to align more fully with our parenting style (though as I said, she was so aligned that not many tweaks were needed at all!).
Emily is also highly emotionally intelligent and didn’t bat an eyelid at emotional releases (/tantrums!) which created a sense of calm and security in the house.
Emily’s level of cleaning was superb, I doubt we will ever have such a clean house again!
I would be very happy to act as a reference for Emily’s work and am so grateful for her support.

Helped a few days with my special needs 10 yo son

Emily is wonderful. My son has complex needs and can be aggressive with his PDA. There are not many people who can understand him and know how to handle it. Emily has such a calm, loving, accepting nature. We all instantly took to her including my son. I am very sad I am unable to take her on due to the unusual hours I am after.

Absolutely Amazing!!!

I cannot express enough how grateful we are to have Emily as an advocate for our special needs daughter. From the moment she stepped into our lives, it was clear that she is truly exceptional. Emily's love and care shine through in everything she does.

She has an incredible ability to connect with our daughter, understanding her needs and preferences like no one else. Emily approaches every situation with patience and enthusiasm, which helps our daughter feel comfortable and secure. Her gentle demeanor and positive attitude create a nurturing environment where our daughter can thrive.

Emily goes above and beyond in every aspect of her role. Whether it's engaging in fun activities, helping with daily routines, or simply providing companionship, she approaches it all with a level of dedication that is inspiring. Watching their bond grow has been a heartwarming experience for us as parents.

I would highly recommend Emily to anyone seeking support for their special needs child. She is a true gem, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have her in our lives!

Amazing Nanny

Emily looked after our little boy (9-12 months) until he started his nursery and was so patient and kind. He bonded with her really quickly which made my return to work much less stressful and a lot easier knowing he is having fun every day. She adhered to our routine and kindly kept us up to date with photos, videos and nap times throughout the day which was very helpful. Also, if there was any time left, she helped us with chores giving us more time we could spend with our little one.

Thank you so much for everything, Emily! We miss you already!

Exceptional Nanny

We could not be more grateful to have Emily as a babysitter for my 6-month-old. She bonded with the little one instantly and is incredibly warm and attentive to his needs.

I have no issues with her bottle-feeding the baby, changing him, and ensuring he is appropriately dressed for the weather. I have seen her create a fun, nurturing environment when he is awake, and she has taken him for lovely long walks. She is also very attentive to his cues, especially when he shows signs of tiredness, and acts accordingly, creating a restful, soothing environment for him.

Emily is always punctual and communicative, ensuring she has all the information about how the little one has been feeding, sleeping etc. before she starts her shift and providing regular updates on how he is doing during the day.

Emily is not only reliable but also truly understands the needs of babies. She is trustworthy and we highly recommend her to any family looking for a caring, competent, and experienced babysitter for their little ones.

Super nanny

Emily has been nannying for us for a few months now and she has been a total life saver. She’s been in charge of my 1 year old and 3 year old and she has such a natural way with little ones and is totally dedicated to the job. She has boundless energy and enthusiasm, happy to be outside whatever the weather and my babes absolutely adore her. She helps around the house whenever she has the time and has also been known to prune the roses too! Emily is super organized and so reliable - she will be such an asset to any family.

Thank you so much Phoebe, I’m so privileged to have worked with your beautiful family, and delighted to hear that you have been so happy with my service too!

Excellent , safe pair of hands

Emily is a brilliant all-rounder and I couldn't recommend her highly enough.

I live in Churt and have two young children (2 yo) and (6 yo). Emily has been incredible and is everything a family could ask for - fully engaged with the kids; a lovely, calm, structured approach - as well as very fun; happy to get stuck in with multi-tasking meals and house jobs at the same time; punctual and - and just all-in-all a great person to have in the family home.

She has a magic way with the children; is very warm and kind.

She is super reliable, experienced and a very safe pair of hands.

The kitchen is always spotless even after kid meals.

An excellent childcare professional who I recommend very highly.
