Parent reviews
Below are the latest reviews for Liyanna. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk members and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Liyanna has been looking after our little girl for a few hours a week since she was two months old. My daughter loved Liyanna straight away and is always in a good and calm mood afterwards. As a new first time parent with no family locally, I found Liyanna's confidence, professionallism and kind nature very comforting.
I also really appreciate that she always has an idea for age appropriate local activities (e.g. baby sensory, library etc). I couldn't recommend Liyanna more to anyone looking for a nanny!

Liyanna has supported me in caring for my 3 months old son. With her warm personality she quickly established a strong bond with the little guy. She was very creative in designing the wake windows in a way to make them both fun/engaging and also focused on the baby‘s development (e.g. sensory play and tummy time). I could trust her 100%. Liyanna also went the extra mile in various aspects - always early, absolute can-do attitude, always proactive in helping me with the household or preparing tea/water for me when she had a few minutes of breathing time when baby slept. What a gem!

Liyanna has been looking after our 19 month old part time since she was a year. Simply put Liyanna is wonderful at her job. She is great with babies and toddlers and really great with parents and families. She’s a really engaging nanny, always taking our daughter out (she knows everything going on in the area), singing songs, reading books. She’s organised, kind, conscientious, fun and a clear communicator. Everything you could want in a nanny. I have personally learnt so much from her and I know I speak for my entire family when I say we feel blessed to have her in our lives. She made a really nerve wracking transition (to childcare and back to work) so easy for all of us. I would happily recommend her to anyone!

Liyanna has been looking after my 9 month old little boy about two days a week for a couple of months now. Quite simply, she is wonderful. She is intelligent, calm, kind, and a great communicator. The bond she has with my son is pure magic. He absolutely adores her, and lights up when he sees her. I would offer Liyanna a job in a heartbeat (in fact, I did offer her a full-time job but sadly the travelling distance is just too far since we moved house.). I would recommend Liyanna in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a part-time or full-time nanny, or any babysitting. I trust her implicitly and she feels like part of our family. I hope she will be in our lives for a long time!

We have had the pleasure and privilege of getting to know Liyanna for the past few weeks/months. She has been such a Godsend. She is great with my 8month old son who has come to really enjoy her warmth and affectionate manner. Liyanna is patient, kind and always professional. She is always thinking of things to do and facilitating his development. I have been very grateful for her support and wish her every success in her future roles.

We are so fortunate to have Liyanna look after our now 3 month old baby for the past 2 months . Her nurturing care, extensive knowledge and experience was evident from day one. She quickly developed a bond with our little one providing her with the upmost care and attention.
Being first time parents , we were very anxious leaving our daughter in the care of someone else however Liyanna very quickly made us feel at ease and we knew our daughter would be safe and well taken care of . We were also impressed with how Liyanna looked for ways to keep our baby active and engaged. She would take her for walks in the park, attend baby clubs, sing to her and read books.
Overall, we highly recommend Liyanna. She is an exceptional nanny who truly cares for the children she looks after . We are grateful for the time spent and look forward to continuing this relationship with her.

Liyanna is always on time (never ever late!) She has been taking care of our 3-month old son so well since January: Liyanna doesn’t like sitting still for sure; taking our baby out for walks, playing with him, singing for him, taking bath and massage for our little boy which he enjoys very much. She has also done a good job on putting our baby back to sleep while we were going through sleep training. In addition, Liyanna has been so kind and generous to cook and bring us food which is out of her duties. We wouldn’t expect all of that at all! Now our boy is almost 5 months old and we are heading back to China for visiting families; so have to say bye to Liyanna for now. We will miss her a lot and definitely love to see her again while coming back. For any families to have Liyanna, you can just sit back relax and enjoy your own time:)

Liyanna has been working for us for 2 months and has been an absolute dream! She looked after my 6 months old baby girl incredibly well but also have been looking after me while I have been going through a difficult time. She always has time for everything and is the most kind hearted person.
She has cooked us some incredible meals that I will be missing so much.
If it wasn’t for us relocating to a different country I would have liked to keep her full time.
She never sits still and always finds something to do around the house. She even baked cakes as a surprise a couple of times.
Would highly recommend her to anyone. Any baby would be lucky to have her!

Liyanna is fantastic - I would recommend her in a heartbeat! She is very reliable and professional, I really love how she engages fully with our baby who loves Liyanna singing to her. She knows our area in London really well and plans activities she can take our baby to and nice walks! I feel so comfortable leaving our 3 month old with her, when we come home our baby is so happy, well rested and fed and in a great mood!

We're expats and had never left our son with anyone however as soon as meeting Liyanna we felt so comfortable in leaving our 4 month old son in her care. She's super energetic with lots of experience. Our son had a great time with her and certainly will be seeing Liyanna again!

Liyanna has an excellent manner and gift with children. She has been looking after our 21 month old over the last few months and he immediately felt comfortable and happy in her care despite previously disliking being left with anyone except his parents. She takes great care in every aspect of childcare including activities, feeding and comforting. She is also very good at putting an anxious mummy at ease and always gives lots of detail about the time spent often with many photos! I would wholeheartedly recommend her.

Liyanna has just looked after our 8 months old daughter. This was the second time ever we used a baby sitter (our previous baby sitter was unavailable), so as you can imagine we were initially a bit anxious at the idea of hiring a stranger through internet.
Liyanna quickly put our minds at peace. She was professional, passionate, and caring. Our daughter got along with her right away. They clearly had a good time together, as attested by the humongous grin on our daughter's face. We highly recommend Liyanna and will obviously use her services again.

Liyanna supported us for a short while by looking after our toddler in the evenings. We have found her to be reliable, trust-worthy and kind. Our little one engaged well with her and felt at ease and comfortable with her from the first visit, which was very reassuring for us as parents.
Liyanna makes a very good nanny and we would highly recommend her.

Liyanna was looking after our 16 months old on weekends, she did playtime, dinner, bath, story time and bed time with him. When we met we were really reassured with all her reference and experience. She made sure that our baby boy was at ease.
It was our first time so we didn’t know how it would go. She was very nice and prepared great activities for him (painting, drawing, playing with the cats in the garden and play in the little kitchen). She shared lot of pictures so we could see he was enjoying his time with her and her family. She also cooks great meals. She lets us know what they did and how he was and even suggested some activities we could do with him. She is punctual and flexible.
We were very lucky to find her and I can not recommend her enough.

As a new Mum I was slightly anxious to leave my 6 month old for the first time, but Liyanna immediately put me at ease with her very solid and reassuring manner. Our little one was approaching the needy stage, and due to COVID lock down, had a tendency to cry if Mum or Dad weren’t close, but Liyanna had an instant rapport.
Liyanna went above and beyond. On the very first meeting we came home to a very calm and relaxed baby, and a surprise fathers days card, which was very touching and now has pride of place on our fridge.
Liyanna continues to be very supportive and dependable. Her qualifications and experience are reassuring that we are leaving our baby in good hands. Liyanna promotes the use art, music and outdoor adventure. She is keen to read to our little one which is important to us, and we know that not only is he being looked after but also very stimulated and challenged to grow.
I can’t recommend Liyanna highly enough and I thank her for her continued support.

We are very fortunate to have met Liyanna and at a time when she had some availability because - she will get booked up fast as she is excellent, professional, has everything you want e.g. DBS, references, tons of experience and education/training, paperwork, is super responsive. She has looked after our girls 3 and 1 and got them into bed and asleep, clean, fed.... I mean seriously how does she do it?! And can she please teach us! Lovely and thanks so much. Liyanna is a warm, caring, hard working mum and her experience and expertise shines. She is safety conscious and went above and beyond. Thank you

Liyanna looks after the little girl of my neighbour and when my nanny needed some time off she has offered to help me with my two children age 1 and 3. Liyanna is a lovely, caring nanny who looks after the children as she would do with her own. She is very experienced and makes the kids do a lot of activities like painting and reading. She cooks really well and leaves the house very clean. She is a lovely person to have in the house and can easily look after more than one child. I completely trust her and she is a mum herself so knows very well how to handle any age of child.

I am a first time mum, and we employed Liyanna to look after our one year old daughter. We had never had a nanny, and also because of Covid I had not actually left my daughter with anyone except her father before I went back to work, so I was worried about how everything would go. However, Liyanna made everything so easy. She was very professional in fitting in with our routine, she was also so warm and caring from the beginning, and my daughter bonded with her immediately. My daughter is always excited to see her, which has been really reassuring for me. Liyanna is also great at sharing details of the day with us, so even though I am at work I still feel connected. She has also been proactive in finding groups and activities to do so that my daughter has a chance to interact with other children; not something which has been easy to do in lockdown. I really cannot recommend her enough, and think we were lucky to find her.

Liyanna looked after my 3 year old and another 3 year old and was really wonderful with them. She is very calm but fun with the children, full of creative ideas and they both loved her. We will miss her and will be hiring her again.

Liyanna was an absolute god send - we needed someone to help with our 3rd old girl whilst we were both working FT and schools were closed. She was so calm and engaging and my little girl loved her. Liyanna organised the day really well so there was a balance of free/imaginative play as as educational and then lots of fresh air and park time.
From the moment I met her I was put at ease and felt happy and safe to leave her with my child. I’ve always had so much anxiety leaving my daughter with anyone so I was introduced to Liyanna through another mum who had used her for her 2 daughters. Glowing recommendation which was 100% spot on!

Liyanna has been working with us for about 3 months now. She looks after my 9-month old baby, Carys, for 2 days a week.
Liyanna has incredible warmth and gentleness that means our child is instantly relaxed with her. Carys looks forward to seeing her and jumps out of my arms to be close to her whenever she is around. This is particularly impressive since babies do not trust easily.
Her skills as a nanny are exceptional – she is highly competent at what she does. She has natural, yet gentle, authority with the children she looks after. She is fun and affectionate and charms all of the children I have seen her with (including my own). I don't know how she does it - she is so calm and caring. The children just love being around her. Her own daughter, Noura, is testament to Liyanna's skills - she is happy, relaxed and just so charming.
In addition to all of this, Liyanna has been flexible and supportive of our family’s needs. She is always willing to help and goes out of her way to make looking after my baby as easy as possible for me. We going to really miss her next year.
I also fully echo what other parents have left in their reviews. Liyanna really is a gem and any family would be lucky to have her.

Liyanna has been taking care of our daughter, 20 months old, since January when I decided to return to work.
She made the transition very easy showing a lot of patience, flexibility and love for our little girl Ines, who absolutely adores her and showers her with kisses and hugs every day.
We love how she keeps the kids busy throughout the day by taking them to play groups, libraries, parks or gets creative with them indoors. Her professional training shines through in the way she interacts with the little ones and we see her as great role model for creating a thriving and joyful environment but also setting boundaries to keep them safe and respectful with each other.
She cooks all the meals and sends us regular updates throughout the day, so we always feel well informed and relaxed knowing our little girl is well taken care of.
We are very happy with Liyanna’s service so far and hope to have her as part of our family as long as possible.

I actually write this review with tears in my eyes, what Liyanna has done for me and my family is incredible. Liyanna is kind, patient, loving lady, she is my hero. She came to us as an employee and leaves a wonderful friend that I know I will have forever.
My son absolutely adores her, whenever he sees her the smile on his face says it all.
She's amazing at keeping myself and my partner in the know with what they are up to during the day.. and its always something very fun, playgroups, farms, libraries, story time, walks in the park.
She always asks about any changes to my sons needs, and adapts instantly to meet these.
Having 5 children of her own, her experience is so valuable and I always felt comfortable and confident to ask her advice on sleeping, eating etc.
I 100% recommend her to look after your little one. She's a treasure. xx

When we needed a temporary nanny for our 3-year old daughter, Liyanna was a godsend. Always punctual, prepared and charming to interact with. Her experience is obvious and her demeanour with children creates a healthy learning environment - safe, supported, encouraged, etc. She's creative with her activities, knows the child centres and will get the children out to socialise, undeterred by bad weather. She cooks healthy and yummy food that even our picky eater ate and cleans up well after herself. If you're looking for a nanny for your child, you'd be hard-pressed to find one better than Liyanna.

Liyanna looked after my two children (age 1 and 3.5) for four days, providing cover for our usual nanny. She was warm, professional, kind and had a real enthusiasm for children. She worked hard at establishing a bond with both kids and they really enjoyed spending time with her. Liyanna is a great cook and my children loved her food. She is fabulous and I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again.
