The safest pair of hands for your little ones

Amanda has worked for my family for two months December 2020 to February 2021, looking after our newborn daughter Alessandra. When I hired Amanda I was looking for a maternity nurse for a short period after birth, to help me while I was adjusting to the new routine with two small children.
I knew it was important for me to find someone that had solid experience with newborn so that I would be comfortable leaving her in sole charge of my daughter. But also it was essential that the person I hire could provide psychological support to me in those emotional weeks immediately after birth.
From the time Amanda walked into out house, we knew that we had found the right person for the job. Amanda is the safest pair of hands when it comes to looking after “your most precious asset” and her knowledge of all things related to young babies was clear from the beginning. She would pick up a crying Alessandra and immediately understand what she needed, whether it was food, burping or sleeping…
I was most impressed with her natural connection with Alessandra. She has a real passion for babies and her first question in the morning was always “how is the little one?”. Every day she displayed so much affection for my daughter that really warmed my heart.
During her days with us, her tasks included looking after our daughter (feeding, changing, taking her out for a walk, stimulating her during awake time, putting her to sleep and comfort her) as well as ancillary activities such as sterilising feeding equipment and doing the baby’s laundry. She is efficient, organised and energetic and all the house related tasks were completed in a blink of an eye. In addition, she has a very good eye for other things that might need doing around the house and she occasionally put out our own laundry, did some grocery shopping, prepared food for me and for our older daughter and made up her room. Her approachability made everything so much easier for me, as she lifted me of so many chores.
Amanda is an extremely sociable and fun individual and bonded very well with us. As she worked with us during lockdown, we were always in the house and yet her presence was never intrusive. Having her around was always a pleasure and I did enjoy our chats.
I would strongly recommend any parent to hire Amanda to look after their newborn as well as any other children.
Best regards
