We have known Kasia for 6 years as the nanny to our neighbours children, managing a nanyshare with our neighbours and two other families, and then as a nanny to our girls. She cared four our then 4 year old on a temporary basis and later she cared for our baby daughter for 4 months (between 9-13 months) before we started at a montessori nursery. We consider ourselves very lucky to have been able to have Kasia for the time we did to look after both of our girls!

When she was looking after our baby she brought her own daughter who was 3 months older which was lovely as it meant the two girls had another baby to play with of a similar age. She divided her time equally between the two girls and manged their individual needs incredibly well.

Kasia has a warm, calm and caring nature. She takes an active interest in helping children build confidence and developmental milestones. We would find our baby learning things from one day to the next that only Kasia had taught her! She is very active and takes children outside for fresh air and active play everyday regardless of the weather. Kasia proactively organises playdates, days out and trips to various playgroups or activites.

When working from home, I would hear the baby girls laughing and babbling as Kasia engaged them in guided play. She was patient and gentle in encouraging repeating skills and play between the two girls. Kasia was fantastic at meal and naptimes.

On one occassion she looked after our (now) 5 year old and our 13 month old so we could attend a wedding. She sent us regular updates throughout the day and paid extra attention to our older daughter during our youngests naptime that she cherished. The first thing our older daughter asked us the morning after the wedding was when Kasia was coming back again!

Oh, and she also takes THE MOST BEAUTIFUL photos of your children as she shares what they are doing during the day.

You should consider yourself very lucky if you are able to have Kasia caring for your children. She is by far the best nanny we have ever had (we have had 4 in the past 6 years) and a genuine pleasure to have as an extension of your family and as a part of your life.
