Sam looked after our daughter Charlotte from around 4/5 months and was a really important part of her early development. Sam brought her daughter to work with her (before she started nursery halfway through her time with us) and our daughter formed a really strong bond with her. It was never an issue or an intrusion for us, and Sam was very capable in managing both. In fact, I think in many ways it benefitted our daughter having another child around. Sam would also help with our 4yrs twin boys when they got back from nursery.

Sam made an effort to take Charlotte out everyday and organised lots of fun activities so that was always stimulated. She helped us with weaning onto solids and with nap times/routines. Sam is extremely experienced and I immediately felt comfortable leaving my baby with her. She is very calm and caring, which I think Charlotte was able to sense.

I would highly recommend Sam and please do feel free to get in touch if you would like any more details. The only reason Sam left us is because she went on maternity with her son and by the time she was ready to come back to us, Charlotte had moved onto full time nursery.
