Nikki has looked after our son from him being 1 month old doing nights on an adhoc basis. She has always been fantastic at just getting on with the job, whatever routine we were following on that particular day and has been available at short notice too. I would highly recommend.

Nikki has been a wonderful asset to our family. She has helped looking after my baby since she was 3 months old to give me a few hours to myself each week as we do not have family close-by. Nikki is trustworthy and my daughter really likes her. Nikki has been doing half days/ full days, babysitting and an overnight stay with us. I would highly recommend her as your child would be in safe hands.

I contacted Nikki when I was feeling overwhelmed as a new mum. She came round to see me really quickly and gave me some fabulous advice and I immediately felt better and more confident. When I was struggling a few weeks later I called her again and she was able to provide me with more support. Nikki also did a night nanny shift for us which gave me and my husband some much needed sleep! I'd highly recommend her to anyone.

Nikki came to us when our son was 2 weeks old and did night nannying. She was nothing short of excellent. On her first night she changed the way he slept and his bottles and he was immediately more settled. When we came down in the mornings, our older son (3 1/2) was already downstairs and Nikki was up playing trains or playing Playdoh with him and ready to give us a full run down of how the night had been. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nikki to anyone.

Nikki helped our family after the birth of our third child. We were a month into it and I was struggling with both boys and a new baby. I had been hesitant to hire a nanny but as soon as Nikki arrived I felt reassured (plus our baby was immediately putty in her hands!). Nikki was wonderful and the sole reason our family turned around and started to enjoy each other again. She was incredible with the new baby but more than that, she prioritized looking after me too, as well as ensured the older boys were always well cared for. She also streamlined our home so that by the time she left everything was working like clockwork. I cannot recommend Nikki highly enough. She has a huge wealth of experience, is very kind and very capable, and is also just a lovely person to have around. Very happy to give a verbal reference or answer any questions.

Thank you for your kind words i enjoyed my time with you all. I will always be around to help fill in when needed. x
Nikki has worked for us for the last 6 months on a part-time basis. I have nothing but good things to say about her. My three children absolutely love her, and that is all the proof I needed to feel comfortable enough to leave them in her care. From the moment she walks through our door her full attention is on the kids.She is always making crafty things with my daughter, and is not afraid to delve into Lego to keep the boys happy. She seemed to know what my 6 month old baby wanted before I even did.I would whole heartedly recommend Nikki!

It took a long time for me to pluck up courage to hire a night nanny but it was one of the best decisions I made. Nikki is brilliant. She helped me get my 12 week old twins on a schedule and made suggestions on how to ease my son's wind/colic problem that was causing him so much discomfort. It worked almost instantly for both the babies and me.
She is fantastic with the babies and has the experience and confidence to deal with twins at the same time.
I cannot thank and recommend Nikki enough. I am now getting back to my normal self (thanks to getting some sleep!) and the babies are so happy. If you are looking for a night nanny who is able to help with routine then I would highly recommend Nikki.

Nikki has been my boys' (age 7 and 9) nanny for the last year - covering after school care and holidays. In term time Nikki takes the children to their clubs, supervises homework, cooks their evening meal and oversees bedtime preparations. In the holidays she has the children all day. She has proved herself reliable and flexible and the kids love her. She has also baby sat for us and even stayed over with the children.
Nikki also does some cleaning for me and it is lovely to come home to a sparkly house (however short lived!).
I have always found Nikki to be honest, friendly, warm and kind. She always thinks of others. I can recommend her to anyone looking for a nanny.

I met Nikki last year when she ran a creche at sports studio whilst I attempted exercise after my first child (20 months) I was reluctant to leave baby with anyone but was pleasantly surprised at how my toddler warmed to her & enjoyed the varied activities.
I now have a newborn & frequently rely on Nikki for childcare services & tend to leave Nikki in chaos & come home to calm.
I was first attracted by Nikki's vast experience, first aid & fact Nikki has a large family of her own, Nikki is always punctual & reliable & great with my children, my toddler look's forward to story time & the games they play together & I am also reassured by the odd text telling me that all is well.
Any questions happy to answer.

I was really worried about having someone else coming into my home to help, but I needed have.
As soon as Nikki came in the door the children warmed to her and I was put at ease. The kids now love her to bits and even ask for her to come over!
If you are looking for someone to come and do some baby sitting etc, I'd look no further than Nikki, she is so good with children due to all of her experience and she can normally work the hours you require.
Any questions feel free to ask.
