Ivana is a wonderful person and it has been truly an absolute delight and pleasure to have worked with her. Unfortunately we could not continue with her as my son started nursery. She has all the qualities of a great Nanny. She is very understanding, flexible, reliable, organised, proactive, good communicator and most importantly extremely trustworthy. She has a great understanding of child development and loves the company of children. She is creative and always kept my son engaged in well thought of activities. She would take him to the park everyday and he would always come back with a big smile. She built a great bond with my son and he absolutely adored her from the first day he met her. We have truly had the best experience with Ivana and would highly recommend her.

Ivana looked after my 2 children for almost 2 year. She is very reliable , professional and punctual. She is also very kind and flexible. I highly recommend her. She used to set very nice art and learning activities . I set a routine for the children and she was very good at keeping The daily routine. And she would leave a daily feedback and notes about the day with kids.
I was very luck to have her as nanny.

Ivana has looked after our 6 year old son for just over a year now and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her as a nanny. She is reliable, punctual and has a calm, endearing and respectful manner with both children and adults. In addition, when Ivana started with us she took time to observe and sought to replicate our parenting style to ensure that our son was comfortable, safe and secure and for a smooth transition into her care. All in all, Ivana is a wonderful nanny and person.

Ivana looked after my son for a year and a half until he started nursery aged 2 and a half. She is such a caring, capable and instinctive nanny, I trusted her fully and valued her opinion. During the time that she looked after Z, she engaged with him and nurtured him into a confident little chatterbox. Come rain or shine, she would always take my son out on an adventure and whenever they did stay in, she would magic up some fun activities. She guided us through many milestones with confidence and skill that only a nanny of her calibre could do.
