I just had to leave a review for Vanessa. Vanessa looked after our 5 month old daughter at our wedding for the day. This was the first time someone had looked after her for the day other then ourselves so it was a big deal in finding the right person for us. Vanessa arrived early and arrived with a smile and happy attitude, my daughter took to her instantly. Vanessa has a very calm nature and is very knowledgeable with babies. Vanessa did more than we expected her to do and everyone commented on how amazing she was! If we lived closer to Vanessa I would most certainly have her look after Ottilie on a regular basis. Please do not hesitate to book Vanessa she really is the best of the best!

Thank you so much.
Ottilie is a wonderful baby I enjoyed very much every minute looking after her.
Your family is amazing and I wish all the best luck for you.
I would love to look after Ottilie again .
Vanessa worked for me as a nanny and housekeeper for 2 years. She was always very Reliable, trustworthy, and eager to please. My 2 children have a lot of love and respect for her and still adore and miss her very much.
She is a very patient, fun and creative nanny and enjoyed playing games and doing arts and crafts with the children, as well as taking them out on day trips. I could always trust her to take care of their safety and wellbeing, taking full charge of dinner, bath and bedtime and just generally being responsible for the children's routines, often going above and beyond her duties and helping me out in times of need!
Vanessa is very good at using her initiative and has a lot of common sense. I'd only ever need to ask her to do something once and it would always be done with perfectionism. She has a very happy and calm disposition and always brought her positive and upbeat energy to work with her, which I really admired.
I was also impressed that when I came home, the house was always spotless, despite all the fun the kids had that day. She is extremely tidy and conscientious and an impeccable time keeper!
I would have no hesitation in recommending Vanessa for any childcare or domestic roles. She would be an asset to any family.
Good luck for the future Vanessa and thank you for all your hard work, support and loyalty you showed to me and my family over the years. We will miss you very much!

Vanessa has looked after our 10 month old daughter on a number of occasions in the past few months, mostly in the evening but also a couple of times during the day when we needed childcare at short notice.
Vanessa has always been punctual, greeted our daughter with a huge smile and our daughter loves spending time with her. We have always felt that our daughter is well looked after and has a great time with Vanessa - she has taken her to the park during the day, played with her before bedtime and read her bedtime stories.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Vanessa as a babysitter or as a nanny - it is clear that she loves children and is both passionate about and excellent at her job.

Thanks a lot .
I feel the same Tara is a lovely baby there's no way to love spending time with her such lovely parents too a happy family
Vanessa was a live-in Nanny with my 12-year-old son Harold for about 10 days, from October 22nd to November 2nd 2013. I was away on a trip while I entrusted my son and home in the care of this homely and caring Nanny.
Her duties as a live-in nanny included the general taking care of my son and my home: She see to it that my son did not miss out in his academic, social and spiritual activities. As it was a half term's break, however, Vanessa made sure my son did all his holiday home work, making sure he reads his books every day at least 30 minutes before bed time, took him to movies, football training, games and parks for a healthy recreation, and most of all to a bible study on Sundays.
I will describe Vanessa as a: pro-active, honest lady with exceptional self-management skills. She took initiative in her duties, generally managing the home without bothering me with calls as I was away. She is a confident lady who knows what to do and when to do them. She extended her duties to unassigned tasks- going out of her way to see that the family was happy, a rare quality of a nanny! The 10 days budget was honestly and skilfully managed as I came back home to meet unexpected cash returned.
Above all, my son was happy and healthy and talked about his experiences with Vanessa, and my home was in an excellent condition- clean, and well organised on my return. We are looking forward to having Vanessa back any time she is available.
