Nannynick's Reviews

Amazing childcare, communication and references!

We couldn’t have been more happy with Nick’s care of our 4 year old autistic daughter. It felt like as soon as Nick had met our daughter, he knew exactly how to bond and relate with her.

Nick also kept us updated throughout the evening, letting us know when our daughter was asleep!

One of the most impressive aspects of the evening was Nick’s binder of fantastic references, dating back 30 years. You can tell Nick puts his heart into all of his work.

Thank you, Nick!

Nannying our two-year-old daughter

Our two-year-old daughter has always been wary of men, so when she immediately ran up and started chatting and playing with Nick the first time they met, we were quite astonished. Nick has such a wonderful rapport with young children and is able to communicate with them in a fun and effective way. Nick is also not afraid to go out and find activities off his own back; baking, bus rides, play groups, the park, the duck pond…his energy seems to be endless. Coming home from work, our daughter is the happiest little girl after a day with Nick and full of stories of their adventures!

Nanny Nick.

Nick stepped in to do emergency cover for our children. He has some kind of unexplainable magical power where he was able to relate to both of my children.

I would employ Nick full time if he could be a live in Nanny.

He is very professional, with a portfolio full of experience.

Please contact me for further information.

Babsitting / Nannying

Nick did a great job looking after our two boys. He stepped in at the last minute when our other childcare had fallen through, ensuring that both of our children were well looked after and remained on routine when we could not be there. This included dropping off and picking up our eldest son from school, taking our youngest to a settling in session at his new preschool and taking him to his end of term party at his old preschool. Nick has a very quiet, calm manner that worked well with both of our boys. Another bonus is that Nick has his own car, child seat and relevant insurance enabling him to be mobile with our youngest - I recommend Nick to parents looking for either babysitting or a nanny.

Brilliant Nanny

Nick has been looking after our daughter once a week since she was 4 weeks old as I was studying, and he’s been with us for 18 months. He makes sure she does an activity and helps her develop at every stage she reaches. He has also been great with her list of allergies, and always makes sure she has nutritious meals and snacks.

Happy Kids, Happy Mummy

Nick got in touch as I had looked at his profile and I was very impressed with his level of experience of caring for babies and toddlers. As our children are quite young (9 months and 3years old) he suggested that he came to meet us prior to us arranging for him to babysit. Meeting someone before hand is such a good idea as our children got to spend 45 minutes or so with him and we got look through his impressive portfolio - training course certificates, references from families. He's certainly been looking after children a long time.
It really helped put me at ease and I feel the children liked it as well as when Nick came to babysit, neither of my children seemed upset - they were more than happy to be left in his care.
Nick came by car so didn't need us to take him home which is great as when we had babysitters back in Canada we had to take them home, or arrange a cab for them. Much easier not having to worry about how the babysitter will get home. He also arrived a little early giving us a few extra minutes to get ready to leave which helped a lot.
I plan to book more nights out, now that we have a reliable babysitter whom I can trust to care for my children. I would recommend him, don't overlook this male nanny, he's fab.
