The best nanny!
We had Fearn as our nanny for our son from when he was 8 months old until he was about 2.5 years old. She was absolutely amazing and a true part of the family during this time; we always felt confident that our son was in the best care when he was with her. The only reason we have stopped working with her is that it was time for our son to move full-time into nursery.
Fearn is a creative and engaging caregiver who kept our son intellectually and physically engaged in activities inside the house (like reading, painting, playing) and outside the house (including play groups, trips to the park, and music classes). She cooked him home-cooked meals, which were nutritious and varied, and was very diligent in making sure he was well-rested and napping appropriately for his age. She also made a huge effort to speak to him all the time, which really helped with his language development. She was very loving, warm, and affectionate with our son and they were really bonded from a very early stage - he still continues to ask about her today and misses her often, which shows how attached he was to her, and he is thrilled every time he gets to see her when she babysits!
Aside from her caregiving, she was also highly flexible, accommodating, super punctual, and was willing to work around our schedule and provide extra cover if we needed. She was never late to work, rarely sick, and we always felt like we could rely on her to help us out when we needed, and she would go above and beyond to make things work when we required extra help.
Finally, we also knew that she was taking the utmost care with him when they were out of the house; she was watching him carefully in any external situations, particularly around other adults, and we knew he was in safe hands when he was with her.
We highly recommend Fearn to any family looking for a nanny. She is a truly exceptional caregiver who will love your child as much as you do.
