Nicole has been working for around 30-50 hrs/month for about four months (to Oct 2016).

During these times she has had sole charge over my 7yo son, & 4yo daughter. She cooks meals for them, cleans up after herself (& sometimes us!), in the kitchen, and preps the occasional family meal. She takes them out and about in her own car, and generally seems to keep them engaged in their 'work'/play.

As our children don't go to school, she is naturally involved in their home education, supporting their self-set activities/projects. She brings new ideas of her own whilst happily integrating my/the children’s instructions/requests. As a trained primary teacher, she takes all this in her stride. We have found her to be flexible, adaptable, reliable, proactive and energetic.
