When she first started working for us, Ana was looking after my 6 month old and 2 year old as part of a nannyshare with another 1 year old. Ana looked after all three children brilliantly and we could not have been more grateful for the loving care that she showed all of them.

Ana loves the company of little children and has a limitless supply of ideas of things to do with them. When she is at home with them, she provides them with a range of activities including singing, reading, play-doh and building train sets. More often than not though, Ana takes the children outside where she usually spends most of the day. My children loved going to Ana’s allotment to learn about all the fruit and vegetables she grows! Ana has also taken them further afield for day trips into Central London and to local farms and garden centres. I have accompanied her on some of these days out and she always demonstrates good awareness of risk and takes particular care in these situations.

Ana often takes children to local playgroups where many children know her and want to play with her. She has an amazing ability to connect with young children and all three of my children have immediately warmed to her and enjoyed their time with her. Ana has high expectations of behaviour which she implements in a firm but loving way. She is very active and provides healthy and nutritious food for children to eat. Ana is very professional in her role as nanny and her friendly and caring nature has made her an important part of our family. I highly recommend her.
