Emily has been our nanny for the last four years, looking after our two children (now five and half and nearly four) a couple of days a week. We are moving abroad otherwise we would have had Emily continue working for us for as long as we could.

Emily is an outstanding nanny. She is sensitive to the interests of each child and great at pinpointing their individual needs, helping them in areas they might need some additional support and fostering their strengths. Her knowledge and understanding of child development and early years education is excellent. She is brilliant at getting the children out and about and always plans fun, educational activities for them throughout the day. Our children absolutely love their time with her and have learnt so much from being with Emily. She sends wonderful updates, including photos, and has done several really useful reports helping us, and their schools/nursery, see how they are progressing. Emily has been so helpful in so many areas and her experience and genuine care for the children she looks after is invaluable.

Emily cooks for and with the children, makes them packed lunches, collects them from school and nursery, draws and crafts, takes them for days out on the bus and train and all round provides a really wonderful, fun and educational experience for them.

Emily is lovely to have around, she is reliable, punctual, creative, warm, fun and kind. She has played a pivotal role in our children’s lives and they adore her. They, like us, will miss her hugely. We could not recommend Emily more highly and I would be very happy to speak to anyone direct should they want to.
