Sheilla came to babysit our 3-month old son. It was our first time leaving him with non-family, and we could not have felt more relaxed or happy leaving him in Sheilla's loving care. She came to meet us about a week before and immediately struck up a warm and gentle connection with him. I asked Sheilla to bathe, feed and put our baby to bed, but she did so much more - cleaning the nappy bag, nappy bin, sterilising all his bottles etc. I feel like we've found an angel who will support us as parents, and I couldn't recommend her more.

I've known Sheilla for about one month now and I could not praise her enough. She is sweet, carrying, warm, but also punctual, professional and reliable. What's more, she has the gift of bonding with children instantly. My baby son adores her and I am extremely grateful for all the care and support she gives me and to my family! As a nanny, she as my highest recommendation!

Sheilla was absolutely brilliant with our 6 year old son. She immediately built rapport with him and supported us with his busy schedule. Sheila planned her time with our son very well and kept him engaged throughout. She helped him with his homework, including prep for spelling tests, craft work on a daily basis and daily maths and reading exercises.
Sheilla picked our son up from school everyday and navigated quite a complicated pick up schedule with ease. She was a lot more successful than we have ever been with getting lost properly back! I can’t thank her enough for doing such a great job and would highly recommend her.
