We are writing to highly recommend Dia as a nanny for your childcare needs. Dia has been an integral part of our family for the past 6 years and has looked continuously after both our children (6-year old boy and 3-year old girl).

We feel incredibly blessed to have found Dia at the birth of our first child as she has met all our evolving needs and beyond, from looking after newborns to helping them develop social and language skills, performing all children-related housekeeping activities (laundrying, ironing, meal cooking), or engaging in playful yet education activities. Since our son started school, she also helps with his school work, practicing his phonics and math. But most importantly our children love her very much.

She has proven to be an amazing educator as much as a carer and importantly someone very trustworthy and reliable, providing a very structured and predictable environment for the happy development of our children. She is very patient with our children and when needed, Dia knows how to help them appreciate the importance of good behavior in a very gentle and loving way. In spite of the natural bonding between Dia and the children, she has maintained some healthy boundaries to facilitate our own relationship with them.

Some of the primary highlights include:
-Very trustworthy, punctual and reliable (takes our children every day to various activities, never away at short notice, flexible to start earlier/finish later when the need arises)
-Incredibly organised and tidy - our children arrive on time for their activities with the correct outfit, bags, games etc. and always manages to leave the house sparkling
-Great sense of initiative and independence (coordinates with other nannies/mom’s for playdates, signs up and goes to local activities)
-Engage in screen-free educational activities for child development (we have a no-screen policy at home) with a mixture of indoor activities and outdoor play in the park in the warmer months. Dia is never on her phone but always proactively engages with the children.
-Acts as carer for all children-related needs (nursery tidy, bathing, laundry, fresh cooking)

We can’t say enough great things about Dia and what she has done for us in our journey as new parents. She is polite, charming, discreet and overall just an amazing person and we cannot overstate the positive impact she has had on our lives. Sadly as our little girl starts school in September we no longer need so many hours during the week, especially mornings. We are confident that she will always be part of our lives and wish she can find a family that appreciates and cares for her as much as we do.
