Our Saving Grace

Elaine worked with our almost two year old between July and September this last summer while our family was posted in London for my husband’s work. Elaine was absolutely our saving grace on this trip. I was newly pregnant, and far away from home and family, needed someone to help with our toddler. Elaine was so kind and sweet to her, she helped us as much and she could and even watched her at night so my husband and I could do date nights (the first since our daughter was born!). She would take our little one to the park, on playdates, soft play areas, take her on coffee dates, cool balloon installations, and on the bus for fun (our daughter’s favorite!). She helped us more than she knows! She is an amazing caregiver, extremely trustworthy, a wonderful and thoughtful person, and we will always think of her as family. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a nanny/babysitter! Now that we are back home, we are still miss her everyday- I don’t know what we would have done without all her help! Thank you Elaine! ❤️

Thank you very much for the lovely review and for being such a great family to work for! I really enjoyed being a part of your journey and getting to know is you all! I miss you all and think of you regularly! I hope to find another wonderful family like you!

Wonderful, reliable, responsible and caring nanny

Elaine was our nanny for our eldest child from the age of 4 months, also looking after our second child who was born 2 years later, until we moved out of London. Elaine was exactly what we wanted in a nanny - she adores children, had such a close relationship with our two children and was always able to entertain them with games, songs and activities. They always had a hige amount of fun together and they were always excited to see her.
She was also punctual, reliable and flexible with providing additional ad hoc babysitting. Our children still demand to see Elaine when we come back to London - even going so far as to suggest we go out so she can look after them - which is a testament to the kind of nanny she is!

Thank you so much Anna, I really appreciate you providing a review for me. It has been amazing to be a part of your journey and caring for your children. I'm looking forward to caring for the girls in a couple of weeks - it's always great fun!

Highly recommended, loving nanny

Elaine has been looking after my boys since my eldest was 3 months old, he is now 6,5!!! She has a wonderful personality and is fun, caring and reliable. My boys always look forward to her arrival and love the games they play together. Elaine is focused on manners and a good upbringing. She picks them up from school twice a week, takes them home or on a local outing, and provides them with a home-cooked meal. When I return from work they are showered and the house looks immaculate. On an ad-hoc basis, Elaine also looks after them for full days during school holidays or during the evening.
Elaine plays an important part in my children's lives and we could really not wish for a better nanny.
