Jo has been looking after our daughter since we both returned to work. It's been four months now and we couldn't be happier with the care she provides. She is super energetic and fun, taking our daughter out for the whole day, socialising her with other toddlers and going on all sorts of adventures. It's clear how much thought she puts into planning fun, engaging outings for her and we really appreciate it!
Our daughter absolutely lights up when she she's her arrive, and regularly says "JoJo" when we're at home, so we can tell she loves the time they spend together. She always looks so happy when she comes back at the end of the day too. Jo is a real professional, always proactive, reliable and confident with our daughter - it really gives us complete peace of mind knowing that not just safe, but thriving in her care!
We really appreciate the support we've had from Jo and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any other family.

Jo looked after our 20month old daughter for 3 months over summer, and occasionally our 3.5yr old son. Both children warmed to Jo immediately. Every day she’d organise different activities eg. trips to the playground/park/splash pads, national trust, library, play groups. During our daughter’s time with Jo, she grew in confidence, established walking, started talking more. Jo was v.flexible and always ready to help. We feel incredibly lucky to have met Jo and our children enjoyed every moment with her.

Can’t recommend Jo enough having travelled with her and our daughter since she was 14 months old. Before I’d even asked Jo had started researching places to visit and activities to do each day. Nothing seems to phase her, her patience and calm demeanour makes every trip so easy. She is full of positive energy and has a great sense of humour, which is needed with a toddler! A super nanny who will be quickly loved and part of the family if you book her!

Jo was very accommodating and professional, she was even able to honor a last minute request to come over early. She was communicative on her first outing with our 1-yr old daughter. She took her to the library and sent lots of photos and updates throughout the afternoon. Our daughter was very comfortable with her quickly and Jo was a natural at getting her to play which made leaving for the evening very easy. She also did her bedtime routine and put her to sleep seamlessly.

Jo was a fantastic babysitter for our 8-month-old! She was punctual, fun, and handled bedtime like a pro. We'd definitely recommend her, and won't hesitate to contact her again in the future for any babysitting we need.

We met Jo through our childrens' nursery. She's always been a firm favourite with both of them, and they have been so excited to have her come and babysit. She's friendly, kind, reliable and so sweet with the kids. Very happy to recommend her.

We met Jo through her role at the local nursery for our two sons aged 1 & 4. She has known our oldest son since he was just over 2 years old.
Since then Jo has babysat our boys on an ad hoc basis for a combination of time frames (for a day or just an evening and sometimes both) and we would always contact her for support with our childcare in the first instance.
Our boys love spending time with her as she makes everything fun for them and they are so comfortable in her company.
Whilst being fun for the boys, Jo has a great focus on development and learning and how to challenge them.
She is an extremely reliable, positive and relaxed character. We have no hesitations recommending her.

Jo is an excellent childcare provider. She is fun, patient, kind, enthusiastic and clearly has a passion for her profession. My 2yo daughter absolutely loves Jo - she keeps her thoroughly entertained doing lots of different things with her to encourage development while keeping it all fun. I would absolutely recommend Jo to anyone.

Jo was out live-in nanny for 2 weeks in Sweden and we couldn't have asked for better. Our kids are 20 months and 3.5 years old. We went skiing daily while Jo looked after the kids in the house, at the mountain and in the snow. The kids had so much fun while playing and learning. She kept them safe and warm and always well looked after. She is a great personality to have around the house, easy to talk to, clean and tidy. We highly recommend Jo!
