Below are the reviews that LyndsayA has written.
Jana came to us on a part time casual basis at first in December 2015, when my children were 2, 4 and my third child was due imminently. As my husband works abroad part time, I knew I needed help I could absolutely rely on, someone who could take charge, use their initiative and be 100% trustworthy from day one. When Jana cooked me a healthy snack, whilst entertaining the children and tidying my house, just days after my son was born, without any prompting, I knew we had found the ONE! She proceeded to very quickly became part of the family and stayed with us until February this year, when she went on maternity leave.
Always exuding an aura of positivity, love and kindness, the children adore/d her. She has an ability to be creative and fun, catering to the individual child's personality, whilst gently progressing their educational development - I was in awe of her skills! Days with us could include, preparing breakfast, prepping for and attending the school run, baby playgroups, nap times, light housekeeping as baby slept, swimming, baking, outdoor advenuture, play dates at friends, crafting, school work, music, reading, role play, bath and bedtime etc.
Being highly sociable, Jana made a lot of effort to familiarise herself with our children's lives, friends and families, whose parents would often comment on how lucky we were to have her in our family. Her attentiveness and eye for detail enabled me to relax, knowing all would be taken care of.
I have certainly learnt alot from Jana's wealth of experience and qualifications, she was able to balance the needs of family and home life with equal measure, using her initiative to plan ahead, taking the pressure off me, whilst ensuring the children's needs always came first. As my husband and I could be around at times, this could deter some people, however, she was always open to any suggestions and happy to work with me as a team when we needed and 100% reliable, only taking sickness on the very rare occasion.
There is so much more I could write but if you would like more specific information please do call Lyndsay 07904372388.
We were all very sad to see her leave but as my older two children are at school and my youngest is about to start pre-school, the role is no longer suitable for her but we are delighted she is now a mother herself, to the very gorgeous and happy baby Lara and I know she will become an absolute valued member to her next, very lucky family!
