Elaine

Best ever!

Elaine has been taking care of my 3.5 year old boy since the past one month.
Honestly, I was dreading going to work and leaving my son with anyone but Elaine turned out to be the best thing that happened to our little family.
My son settled quickly and absolutely loves spending time with her. Elaine makes every day interesting for him and helps him learn by doing lots of educational fun play. To top things up, she even tidies up our living space by the end of the day. Such an amazing feeling to come back home to. A happy kid and a tidy space.
I could not recommend Elaine enough to anyone looking for a babysitter/nanny and I am really pleased that my son gets to spend time with someone so caring and loving whilst my husband and I are both at work.

Exceptional

Elaine is the best thing that happened to my family in 2022. She is very detailed and gets on with things. You only need to show her once what you want and how you want it. Elaine take initiative and ownership of her space.
She is to look after my baby while I work from my home office, but before the day is over Elaine has made extra meals and stored in the fridge for me to feed him when she isn’t around, she has tidied up the entire house and ironed. My house is always looking and smelling a million bucks when Elaine is leaving.
My 15 month old understands sign language/ communicates clearly and eats by himself because Elaine has taught him all of the above.

Like I said before, I don’t know what we would do without her. The icing on the cake is when my older daughter is home on holiday from big school Elaine gets her engaged with activities and outdoor learning. What mother wouldn’t want the peace of mind she gives!

Lovely and experienced

We are so lucky we found Elaine here. She has been looking after our 1.5 year old boy once a week for a few weeka and she has been brilliant. She is great at distracting him, always gets out all the toys for him (and puts them back) and takes him to places for fun. She has a lot of experience with babies, which means that he's happy with her and she gets him to do new things, like even taking him to the toilet for the first time and putting him to bed, both sucessfully and without us! She is also a really lovely person and we would really recommend her to anyone. Thank you Elaine!

A wonderful childminder

Elaine was absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend her. She looked after my boys (1.5 and 4 years) for 3 months full time last Autumn. She was excellent at taking them out and keeping them active even in the rainy Autumnal weather but also found lots of fun things to do inside.
She also had a great way at handling the kids when they were tired/tantrum prone. She's also really easy to get along with and reliable.

Excellent babysitting

We used Elaine for a Saturday evening ad-hoc babysitting job and she arrived punctually and immediately had rapport with our 2 children. She saw them through til bedtime, and both children spoke highly of her the next morning. Highly recommended.
