We feel so lucky to have found Joanna and that she is a part of our lives!
From our initial meeting with her in Oct 2019, our 5 year old daughter took to her immediately (which does not usually happen!) and it was clear her focus was on children being happy and building a relationships.
Joanna has been helping us 2-3 days a week with school pick up, after school care, meal preparation and keeping our little girl happy and engaged with a raft of diverse, well thought out and varied activities. Craft, athletics, baking, cooking, trips out, den making, role play and the list goes on.
She also does some housekeeping for us which is great for our sanity! I never see her on her phone or putting on the TV. During Lockdown Joanna quickly adapted and provided online craft sessions (delivering pre-prepared packs in advance) which were absolutely brilliant.
Whilst we do a house renovation and adapt to the new ‘working from home’ way of life, we don’t have as much work for her but she is a firm fixture in our, and our daughters, life and we will be keeping in touch and continue using her for baby sitting and ad hoc childcare as we need it.
Her patience and kindness are beyond compare and we have learned many things about pedagogy for our own parenting. I simply cannot recommend her enough!
