Dia has been with our family as a part time nanny to our one year old boy. She came to us with glowing references from her previous employers and I could immediately understand why. She was really quick to pick up on our way of doing things, sensitive to our way of parenting and very receptive to instructions. At the same time she is herself an experienced mother and has been an invaluable source of advice and reassurance to us as first time parents.

Dia is warm, intelligent and confident in her skills as a nanny. Our son immediately liked her and is always happy in her calm, fun presence. She has been quick to seek out local activities that my son enjoys and that fit around his naps. She also clearly enjoys spending time with him, playing with him in a really thoughtful and engaging way. She spends lots of time reading with him and would take books out from the local library for him each week. As a result our son already seems to have a love of books, which she can definitely take all the credit for!

Dia is also incredibly punctual, organised and trustworthy. She keeps in regular contact throughout the day. She somehow manages to leave the house sparkling each day and goes above and beyond what we ask her to do - choosing to help us with washing or organising our son's clothes without us asking.

I feel that Dia treats our son as if she were with her own child and it is a joy to see her with him. It has been a pleasure to have Dia as our nanny and I would highly recommend her.
