More than an employee, family
I was delighted when Caz reached out to tell us she was finally getting this profile up and running again! (sorry Caz I can't get into my other profile so set up this new one as I wasn't going to miss doing this)
Caz worked with us on and off for 3 years around her studies, our son going to nursery at 3.5 and then again for over a year as my maternity nanny when we were pregnant with your 2nd - and stayed to help us into a sleep pattern.
Caz was a dream come true that she was cheery (and outdoors) in all weathers, she created the most amazing days out for our son and had whole adventures in the woods behind our house. She created meal plans for us all and cooked from scrath being fully aware of my husband's peanut allergy. While being my maternity nursey and looking after the 3 year old, nothing felt too big of an ask. Caz would take it all in her stride so I could relax and be off my feet as much as possible as I was on bed rest.
Caz took over the running of the house and helped me find gardeners and cleaners so I didn't have to worry about anything.
My 2nd child has additional needs but Caz came with me to all appointments, took notes, helped to ask questions and supported us fully in setting up their care, including regular hospital visits.
Caz is a true needle in the hay stack as she effortless planned events for us, including helping plan my husbands whole 40th including venue, catering and music - all across two weeks while my daughter and I napped in the day.
I was very sad when our arrangement came to an end when my family had to move to Manchester but we still keep regular chat and keep up with life together.
