With both of us working, Stanka was a great help. Her love for our daguther was always evident, and she easily adapted to the new needs created by national lockdowns, finding outdoor activities and play dates (when allowed) so I could work from home.

She helped our daughter play and learn every day, found indoor and outdoor activities appropriate for her age and development, and kept us updated with regular photos, which was especially welcome. She also prepared meals when necessary, and kept all areas where she played with our daughter clean and tidy. She was always careful to follow our approach in play-led learning and discipline, but it is also evident that she has ample experience she can fall back on to care for children whether they are happy or upset.


Stanka is a very friendly and sensitive person when it comes to dealing with children. She has a great sense of humour and is willing to join all activities as a playmate. She has helped our daughter learn to play football, as well as a range songs and small dances/physical games, numbers and colours - she took her seriously which was the most important component of our daughter's love for her. It is natural and easy to accept Stanka as a part of the family.
