Pamela has been our nanny since October 2019 and has looked after my son (now 2 years) since he was 10 months old and my daughter (now 8 months) from birth. Pamela has been the most amazing nanny to our children and I would 100% recommend her to anyone. From when I first met Pamela I knew she would be fantastic with children – she is full of energy and has an infectious smile and personality. Our children adore her and although we are sad that she will no longer be our nanny, we will definitely be sending our children to Pam’s Daycare as we couldn’t imagine our children being in better hands.

It is clear that Pamela loves children and they love her. She is a natural at developing relationships with children but also establishes clear boundaries so that they know she is in charge. She is patient and calm with our children, always talking and singing to them and explaining what they are doing. My son always surprises me with the things he has learnt - at the moment this is confidently counting to 10 or knowing his shapes and colours. This is down to the time Pamela spends with him, helping him learn in a fun way, through play and plenty of positive reinforcement. It is clear that she has had lots of prior experience with children and has lots of techniques for alleviating any baby/toddler challenges!

Pamela is always doing fun activities with the children, whether this is going on outings to parks or museums or staying indoors doing arts and crafts. Our children have also developed a lovely bond with Pamela‘s dog Shico. Our son spent a lot of lockdown in the park with Shico as his playmate and he is always asking after Shico when he is not with him. We always say how great it is that he has all the benefits of having a pet without us having to have our own! Pamela cooks healthy and nutritious meals for the children and has allowed them to experience a variety of foods and flavours meaning that they are not at all fussy eaters. I don’t think anything she has cooked for them has ever been rejected! Pamela also helped with weaning my daughter.

Aside from being outstanding with children, Pamela is also very professional in her approach and has been a dream to work with. She is extremely reliable and punctual and has never taken a day off sick. Pamela has always been flexible if we have been stuck at work or on a delayed train and she has always been available if we needed babysitting in the evenings/weekends. Pamela is also great at capturing moments on camera and sends us lots of beautiful photos, videos and updates throughout the day. Pamela is clearly dedicated to her job and this shows through her hard work and professionalism. Pamela is very passionate about making Pam’s Daycare a beautiful setting for children to enjoy and flourish into confident individuals and we are looking forward to sending our children there and embarking on this new chapter with her.
