Keith was my children's nanny for 3 years

Keith has been an absolute godsend in the last 3 years he has worked for me and taken care of my 2 children after school. He is the most flexible and reliable nanny I have ever come across or worked with. He always arrived early, never let me down and never booked time off in term time when I needed him the most and not once did he phone in sick.
I could vary the hours he worked with not much notice, he would stay later if I needed to work late or if I was stuck in traffic. I could be totally relaxed knowing my children were well taken care of when I needed to work and focus or if I was held up for any reason.
Keith is very helpful in terms of adapting his approach to what we needed. He made sure he was implementing my rules - such as around screen time. He asked my daughter to do her homework and helped my son with his homework and reading after school which meant that it was one less thing for me to do when I got home and he could do it when he was less tired. He would do a range of creative activities with them and always be so generous and lovely - such as making special mothers day gifts with the children.
Keith cooked the children healthy dinners, made sure they had after school snacks and plenty of fluids. He would completely clean up after the meal, leaving the kitchen gleaming. When I got home from work, the kitchen looked great, the children would have been fed with homework done - which meant that we could just chill out and relax and spend time together, rather then me running around trying to get dinner cooked after a long day.

I know some people have reservations about hiring a male nanny, which is a shame. I have trusted him completely for 3 years with my (now 12 year old) daughter and my son (now 9). He is completely trustworthy.

Overall, Keith is a fantastic nanny. He's great with the kids, he is super-duper reliable and trustworthy and for me, having him looking after the children just took the pressure off completely so that I could focus on work when I needed to, and make the most of my time with the children when I came home. :)
