Orooj has been caring for our son since February 2026, and we have been extremely impressed with her. She is punctual, reliable, professional, warm and caring, and has developed an excellent rapport with him.
We have seen our son grow in confidence and develop during her time with him. He is always happy and settled in her care, and clearly feels safe and comfortable with her.
Orooj is trustworthy, conscientious and a pleasure to deal with. We have complete confidence in her and would recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for an excellent nanny.
She comes very highly recommended from us.

Orooj has been supporting our family since 2018. As a working mother of three, I have relied on her assistance at various times. The longest period of her service was from 2019 to 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, when both my partner and I, as key workers, were required to continue working on site.
Throughout this time, Orooj demonstrated reliability and trustworthiness, providing a high standard of care for my children. She consistently maintained a positive and nurturing relationship with them, and her support was invaluable to our family.
Although we do not require full-time childcare now, but we know we can always rely on Orooj’s support whenever needed.
