Monika has been looking after my two elder children (9 and 11) for over a year. She is trustworthy, flexible and very accomodating when it comes to sudden changes in plans. She has occasionally helped me over weekends with my youngest child (18 months) and looked after him well when I needed to deal with with homework or tutoring of my older ones. She likes taking children to places over holidays and is well organized when it comes to outing with kids over school break. She is local to Kew so knows all parks and places. As a mother of a very lovely and kind natured boy, she is naturally better tuned into what kids like and enjoy. Monika has done some household related duties for us, including daily ironing for the entire family. She can cook meals that kids enjoy and is very socialble. We are sad to loose her as our circumstances change but will highly recommend her service to whoever may benefit from them. I'm happy to be contacted over phone for any direct feedback regarding time we had with Monika.
