Laura has worked for us for the last 4.5 years, looking after our 2 boys since they were babies. We have also had two successful nanny shares with Laura during that period, in which she has looked after a little girl at the same time as our eldest son in the one share, and a baby boy at the same time as both of our boys in the other share.

Laura has seen all of these kids through weaning/transition to solid foods, learning to walk, learning manners, toilet training, school runs, homework help, and all the other fun stuff that goes inbetween. She is firm but loving, and children all listen to her like they never listen to their parents! ;)

I would sum up Laura by saying that she is totally capable, totally dependable, and totally loves children. She is the heart of our local nanny community, knowing all parents, nannies and kids in the local park, and comfortably bridges the nanny/parent divide.

We are heartbroken to be parting ways with Laura, but we no longer need a full time nanny now that both boys are at school.
