I met Helen earlier this year in January when she came in for an interview as I had been desperately seeking help with my four month old.

My first impression of this very polite, well spoken woman was also that of someone very friendly and cheerful.

I remember telling her that we struggled with settling my son for his day time naps. She asked to meet him and have a try. For us a miracle happened : our baby was in deep sleep within 5 minutes!

Helen is a very skilled nanny/ maternity nurse and she has fantastic ways with babies, I could not have hoped for a better nanny. She helped my son develop a stable sleep routine within no time, and I was also able to gain back much needed rest. Other people have called her a « baby whisperer » on her reviews and I couldn’t agree more.

My son’s development over the months with Helen was incredible. He became very sociable, more confident and a very happy baby. It was a pleasure to see them together everyday and all mothers want to be able to have their child in the best possible hands.

Weaning was made easy and fun thanks to Helen’s knowledge and cooking skills. Her food is delicious ( also for adults) and my son has enjoyed discovering various tastes with her, whether through purées or self feeding. Up to now he is not a fussy eater and will have anything.

Through Helen I also gained a lot of confidence as a first time mother. She is a great listener, with a lot of empathy and she is also a kind and generous person who looks out after others and under privileged, having helped many natives in her home country. A truly inspiring person. She is always full of good advice and knows her ways around town for kids activities and playgroups, she takes initiatives and is always in a good mood.

Seeing our son take his first steps at only 10 months old with Helen was an emotional moment for us.

Sadly we had to part ways as we are moving, and Helen is deeply missed each day. I am very grateful to have met her and that she took such great care of our boy!
