We were so lucky to have Caroline looking after our son, Ibrahim, from when he was 13 months old. From the very beginning, she created such a warm, calm, and caring environment, and Ibrahim settled in straight away. He became really close to her daughters too—they were like big sisters to him, and it was so lovely to see him feel like part of her family.

One of the biggest improvements we saw during his time with Caroline was his sleep. He used to struggle with naps, especially in a cot, but she gently and patiently helped him get into a consistent routine. Before long, he was napping happily during the day, which made a huge difference to him—and to us as parents.
Caroline also gave Ibrahim such a rich variety of experiences. She regularly took him out to the museum, farm, park, and local playgroups. Even though he wasn’t talking yet, we could clearly see how much he enjoyed those outings—he was so much more confident, engaged, and curious. It was amazing to see how much he grew and developed through the activities she planned.
She was always brilliant at keeping us in the loop, letting us know how his day had gone—what he ate, how he slept, what he’d enjoyed doing. She often sent us little updates and photos, which we loved receiving during the workday.

It’s so clear that Caroline genuinely loves what she does. Her warmth, patience, and attention to detail made such a positive impact on Ibrahim, and we always felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care.
We’re genuinely sad to be leaving Caroline—it’s hard to say goodbye to someone who has played such an important role in your child’s early life. We’ll always be grateful for everything she did for our family.
