I cannot speak highly enough of Ana and it is a great pleasure to recommend her for a nanny position. Ana has worked for us for the past 3.5 years and has helped us raise our 2 sons. Owing to her exceptional work ethics and childcare talents, she will become an incredible asset to your family.

Throughout the time she has worked for us, she has shown herself as an extremely dedicated and dependable individual. Ana came to work for us when our first son was 6 months old. After 2 years, our second son was born and she stayed on to look after both of them.

Ana knows childcare and housekeeping work extremely well. Bright, reliable and affectionate, Ana is also well-versed in child development and has a natural affinity toward children. She is very active with them, stimulates them as appropriate for their age, and knows how to structure time well with relevant activities. She pro-actively looks for new things to do (such as taking our kids to our local city farm), and has been a wonderful partner for them when it comes to playing football, doing art projects, building trains or reading them stories.

One of her greatest strengths is her ability to be flexible yet maintain discipline – something which is not very easy to do. She is an extremely patient and very friendly individual. She has always been very loving to the kids, and the kids adore and love her as much.

Ana respects our parenting approach, while being confident enough to independently make day-to day decisions regarding our sons’ activities – for example, it was Ana’s idea to register them at the library. Since then, she has brought them to the library at least 2 or 3 days a week, and they have developed a great passion for reading.

She has also been a great help in the household. She prepares delicious and healthy meals for the kids (and for us sometimes as well!), does laundry, the ironing, grocery shopping, and cleans the house. In all household tasks she has been extremely competent and diligent, and has always gone the extra-mile without being asked.

Ana always behaves and reacts very professionally, is extremely hard-working, and is always on time. She is also very flexible, and has always adapted to our schedule without any complaints or hesitations, coming earlier in the morning or staying longer in the evening when requested.

Ana was already OFSTED certified when we hired her, and since then she has also taken additional childcare and first-aid training courses. Being registered with OFSTED, she is eligible for both government schemes that subsidise childcare (Tax-Free Childcare and Childcare Vouchers).

We feel very fortunate to have had Ana in our home. Having Ana with the kids has given us complete piece of mind, someone who we have been able to trust and rely on without any hesitations. She has kept our children curious, happy and safe. We are convinced that our sons owe much of their positive development to her presence. We are really sad to lose her, but we are moving back to Barcelona and, although we would have loved her to come with us, we understand that she needs to stay here with her family in London!

We would hire her again in an instant. Any family who engages her service is a fortunate family. She will do wonders for any child under her care.
