Couldn't have asked for a better nanny

Reviewed

Hannah is currently looking after our little 3 month old girl Elowen, but sadly we are having to say goodbye today as we are moving to Hampshire in a few days time. We couldn't have asked for a better nanny & it is such a shame that we are moving away from the area. Hannah joined us about 6 weeks ago when I suddenly had to return to work & to be honest it felt quite early to be doing so with such a small baby (despite just being in an office at the end of the garden!) but she quickly put any anxieties to rest when we introduced her to our little one. Her manner is calm & gentle, yet chatty, cuddly and playful. Despite it only being 6 weeks or so, they seemed to have formed a lovely bond. Elowen always stops feeding to give a big smile when she hears Hannah come through the door in the morning & she is so content in her company, having cuddles, singing songs & reading stories. Saying goodbye to your baby for a few hours is a lot easier when the baby is beaming:) Hannah has ensured that Elowen has the full amount of age-appropriate nap time throughout the day, heading out with the pram come rain or shine for fresh air and to help with the long lunch nap. She has been careful to ask if we have a preferred way of doing things, such as settling for sleep, or soothing teething pain - but to be honest as a new parents we have been happy to use her experience & together we are overcoming the 4-month sleep regression as Elowen is learning to self-settle (hurrah!) We have also appreciated her ability to be flexible, which has been so helpful with my changing work commitments & impending move. We'd highly recommend her to another family & we wish her all the best for finding her next position.
