Katie has been our nanny since August 2012. She has been with us since our eldest two children were 3 and 1. We now have children of 8 (boy), 5 (girl) and 3 (girl).

Katie has been a highly professional and reliable nanny throughout that period. She has adapted well as the children have grown. She has enabled us to go to work confident that our children are happy, safe and secure.

She was also a tremendous asset during my final maternity leave. She was excellent with both the new baby and the eldest two during a time of change, and a pleasure to work alongside.

Our children took to Katie from the start. She is very child-focused in her approach and creates a calm, happy and fun environment.

Katie has been a key part of our lives for nearly five years. We are sad as our youngest prepares to go to school in September and Katie leaves us.
