We employed Ann as a nanny for our two children (now 6 and almost 3). My son was incredibly anxious around anyone other than myself, my husband and our daughter after lockdown but he loved Ann from day 1, she made us all so comfortable. We also discovered hearing issues with our son shortly after Ann started with us and she has supported us and him through this. She's very thoughtful, always planning activities that both children really enjoy doing. Our daughter gets just as excited to share her reading and achievements from school with Ann as she does me, and my son gets grumpy if he hasn't had his usual days with Ann that week because one of us is on holiday. Our son is now going into pre-school to get him ready for the school year as we think this will be a difficult transition for him otherwise. If he wasn't going to pre-school, we'd have loved to keep Ann on board with our family for as long as she'd have us! Ann genuinely cares about the whole family and has a real special bond with the children, they're going to miss her a lot! I personally couldn't have got through the last couple of years without her. She's amazing. If you are thinking of introducing her into your family, I promise you won't be disappointed, it will be the best decision you make.
