Fearn has been our nanny since September 2023 and is due to finish with us in December 2024. We can't recommend her enough and she'll be a great addition to your family.

Fearn started working with us when our daughter was 9 months old, and will be with us until she is just over 2 years old. We had originally planned to put our daughter in nursery from 1 year old but had to abruptly change our plans and find a nanny due to my wife's health situation.

Fearn was eager to help us all out, she came across as not just a loving and skilled nanny but also someone that would fit in with our whole family, support us all and knowing how to care for and encourage not just our daughter but the whole family.

As a nanny, Fearn was great in the baby stage having cared for many babies before, helping us as new parents with doubts and questions and making us feel fully reassured that our daughter was always safe with her. She has been proactive in finding play groups, activities and places for them to go to so that our daughter gets plenty of stimulation and a variety of experiences. She's also helped both her physical and mental development, knowing when to encourage her to push through the milestones and recognising when the new parents were getting ahead of themselves. She has been particularly great at communicating with our daughter, talking with her every day and encouraging her speech. She is very communicative now and we recognise many of the words and phrases Fearn teaches her, which is great fun.

As well as seeing them together in our house, many parents and caregivers have proactively told us how happy our daughter seems to be with Fearn when they see them out in play groups - which is great to hear and confirms what we know.

As our daughter has gotten older Fearn has also been good at taking her a little further afield to museums, urban farms and play dates with other kids in the park or their homes.

She's a great cook and has a few dishes that our daughter loves and helped in the weaning stage for her to try some new things. She's always been reliable, easy to communicate with and neat in our home, always leaving things tidier than she found them.

We strongly recommend her as a nanny and hope we will continue to see her for babysitting as our daughter and her have a lovely bond
