Adele has been looking after my daughter since April this year. I was returning to work after maternity leave and my daughter was 9 months old and had never been away from me. Adele was really patient with my daughter who initially found it difficult to be separated from me. She also helped to calm me and my husband and assured us that our daughter would settle in time. Within a couple of weeks our daughter was settled in with Adele and she reaches out to Adele upon arrival eager to spend the afternoon with her.
Adele provides support with lots of aspects of childcare. She has helped my daughter to learn to hold her own sippy cup. Provided encouragement with her learning to walk and talk. The first change I noticed with my daughter was her improved speech, this was instant! Adele also speaks French to our daughter and she is developing a great understanding of the French Language. Also my daughter used to struggle to sleep on her own preferring to be carried when sleeping, but since going to Adele she can sleep on her own for 2 hours which is wonderful.
Adele lets the children play in the garden or takes them to the local park very often so my daughter now has a great love of the outdoors. The children always seem to have fun and creative activities to do each day. On father’s day Adele helped my daughter make a present for her father which was so lovely.
Every time I pick up my daughter, she is well looked after and positively happy. I never have to worry about my daughter when I am at work and my mind is at ease.
My husband works shifts and Adele has been so flexible to our needs with the days our daughter attends which has been an incredible help.
I bring food for my daughter daily however I know that Adele would provide a healthy snack like fruit for my daughter if needed.
I would absolutely recommend Adele to any parent and especially parents with young children who have never been away from their mothers. I couldn’t have found any easier transition back into work while being assured that I did not have to worry about my daughter.
