Brilliant nanny!

It is my pleasure to review Eva. Eva joined us in August 2019 and worked with us four days a week as the sole charge nanny for our son. My son was 7 months old when Eva joined us and had only just begun eating solid foods so Eva led
the weaning process, not to mention established good sleep patterns for him (as I had previously
tried to do this, but unsuccessfully).

Eva was an absolute delight – we couldn’t have asked for more from her (and we certainly know her very well as we have all been working from our home together since March this year due to Covid-19 working from home arrangements). First, our son clearly adores Eva – they have a very special bond. I know this is also the case with the children of previous families who she has looked after as these families still reach out to catch up with Eva from time to time as their children miss her (as I’m sure our son will). Second, Eva is great at ensuring our son develops to meet key milestones and arranges numerous fun activities, play dates and outings for him to help achieve this. They are often (most days) out and about together socialising with other children. Often she will arrive on a Monday with a box of arts and crafts for them to tackle together – I am amazed by how excited (and focused) my son is when undertaking these art projects. He clearly gets a lot of enjoyment from them, not to mention develops good motor skills. Eva also loves to read to our son – they often spend a couple of hours over the course of the day reading together, depending on my son’s interest (and so, much to my delight, he’s developed into a bookworm). Last, Eva is very dependable and reliable – she is never even a minute late and (very, very) rarely takes any sick days. It’s clear that Eva loves her job.

I could go on and on about the positive attributes that Eva has, but essentially the summary is that I could not think of a better nanny to have looked after our son. I would definitely not hesitate to hire her again and would gladly recommend her to my closest friends and family.

Wonderful wonderful nanny

I cannot recommend Eva highly enough as a nanny - we will sorely miss her in our home. Eva has been a full-time sole-care nanny for our 2 girls, now aged 4 and 7years, for the past 3 years. The girls will both be in full-time school from September and so our we no longer need a nanny, and it is with a truly heavy heart that we have to let her go.

Eva is kind, caring and has boundless energy. My husband and I work long hours, and so being reliable and flexible was crucial for us. Incredibly, despite starting at 0650 every day- Eva has not been late to work or off sick for a single day in 3 years. She is meticulously organised, and very proactive in organising playdates and daytrips. She is well known and loved in the area by local nannies and parents, who are always commenting on how lucky we are to have Eva as our nanny.

She is a great cook, and keeps the communal areas and girls' rooms clean and tidy.

Most importantly for any parent, however, is just how much our daughters adore Eva. She fills our home with fun and laughter (though is also excellent at ensuring all homework is completed!). She is warm and outgoing, and takes incredible pride in her role. I feel totally comfortable that our children are completely safe and loved when we leave for work.

We have had several nannies over the past 7 years, and I cannot recommend Eva enough: any family would be so very lucky to have her as their nanny- she is a treasure!
