Vicki has been helping out our family at short notice on a temporary basis. I have 3 boys aged 2, 5 and 8.

As we are here for a short time, we don't have many toys and games with us. Vicki turned up with wonderful books for us to borrow while we are here. She is an Usborne rep and so the quality of the books she brought was amazing. Not only that but she was incredibly thoughtful in her choice for all of the boys, picking things that aligned with their interests and abilities - which she had managed to discern in a very short space of time. In addition she has brought craft activities for them to do as well as flowers and colouring for them to do science experiments. She also has a wealth of fun activities, songs and games up her sleeve to engage the children.

She is very patient with the boys, able to set boundaries clearly but kindly and they have all been really enjoying her company. She is fully capable of looking after all 3 of the boys (at home or taking them out to the park), or just one or two while I am engaged with the other/s. My two year old always asks for her - even when she's not here - which is wonderful given he's only had a couple of weeks with her.

Vicki is also really helpful with things around the house and takes initiative to fold laundry, clean up the kitchen, give things a tidy up etc without being asked. She is able to look and see what needs to be done to keep things running smoothly.

I would highly recommend Vicki to anyone looking for a wonderful Nanny.
