Karen looked after my daughter for 2 years from the age of 2-4 and she was like a member of the family.
She is extremely reliable, never sick or late and absolutely loves children. As she is an experienced Nanny, she has a strong network and regularly took my daughter to playgroups, parks, playdates and to a range of activities including music classes and tumble tots. She is a self starter who would suggest additional activities that she thought my daughter would like and she generally made my life a lot easier!! Any family would be lucky to have her and I'm happy to provide written or telephone references if requested through Karen.

Communication
We interviewed Karen after she had cancelled and re-scheduled her interview with no explanation. After agreeing to her rate of pay we arranged a trial day with our children that week, but Karen cancelled on the day of the trial for no reason. None of her referees ever responded to our reference requests.

The interview was rescheduled due to work commitments.
After much thought and deliberation I decided the nanny vacancie wasn't for me, as a dedicated nanny who gives full commitment I would never take on a nanny role unless completely certain.
There was also no parking available for my car and on arrival for the interview l needed to pay and display ,the house was situated on a double yellow line with no parking facilities at all .
Was a little uneasy about the chaotic atmosphere between the parents of the children .
My employers from previous nanny positions have always given me excellent references written and verbally.
Karen is currently nanny to my two children Alexandra and William and has been with us for the last three years. She is a brilliant nanny, we completely consider her one of the family and definitely could not do without her. I trust her implicitly with my children she is kind, funny and firm and the kids adore her. She takes them all over the place, they are always out and about doing activities or playing/cooking in the house, swimming, bike riding - you name it she does it. Karen is also really flexible and happy to help out whenever we need to change her hours or ask her to stay late for example. I honestly could not recommend her highly enough, any family that would be lucky to have her. I am happy to be contacted for further references. Tessa.
