I am delighted to recommend Marlena, who worked as our nanny from October 2023 to July 2024. She cared for our two boys, aged 4 months and nearly 2.5 years, handling activities, meals, laundry, and developmental support with exceptional skill and dependability. Marlena quickly bonded with both children, even forming a special connection with our older son during a challenging period of transition. Her no-nonsense approach and focus on good behavior were much appreciated, and she was always open to our specific parenting preferences. Marlena is a hardworking, reliable, and nurturing nanny who would be an asset to any family.

Marlena has been our nanny for the past year and has been fantastic on every level. She is creative with activities and makes sure Maddie is socialised either at play groups or at nanny meet ups.
Marlena fitted in to our family instantly and was the best pair of hands I could have hoped for when I went back to work after 6 months. Maddie loves the days she spends with Marlena and will miss her when we move abroad. We wish we could take Marlena with us!

Marlena was nanny to our two sons (now 3.5 and 8) from November 2018 until September 2021 and we could not recommend her more highly. Marlena's time with our family ended in September 2021 when our youngest son started nursery and we no longer needed a full-time nanny. Marlena is punctual, outgoing and always kept our kids safe. She is also very organised which helps when a family has a busy life. Marlena has excellent manners and this is something she taught our children. She also likes books and so read a lot with our children and encouraged them to play. Marlena always organised play-dates in the park with other nannies and kids so our children met new friends due to Marlena’s outgoing personality. Marlena cooked healthy food for our sons which they enjoyed and was very tidy. When the children were unwell, Marlena cared for them. She always exercised sound judgement in this regard. During lockdown, Marlena showed a real commitment to her job and to our family during that time. The kids adored Marlena. The next family that has Marlena as their nanny will be very lucky indeed.
