We adore Holly
In the last four years, Holly has fit right into our household. She is observant and attentive with all things, as well as patient, kind and assertive with the boys.
Holly takes the children to activities and often suggests local things to do that are often free or low cost. She's also happy to take them to any activities that we suggest either on foot or by car. My boys are completely at ease with her and trust her like a family member. Holly is considerate, communicative and punctual. She has never once been late to arrive in all the years she has been with us! If she needs to schedule time off or is poorly, she always gives more then ample notice.
Holly first looked after my son from about one when I was going back to work and I always felt comfortable heading off for the day knowing she was with him. Then when my second son was born, she seamlessly took him for short times when he was an infant so I could have a rest and then began looking after both boys when my youngest was one and oldest 3.5.
Holly is lovely - we would absolutely recommend her and also happy to get a personal reference, if needed.
