She is a great nanny . I often left my son with her! My son enjoys spending time with her, she cooks well and plays educational games with the child. Im glad to have Helen !!! I will recommend this person to everyone!
I can highly recommend our dear Helen as a great childminder. We have used Helen for a few years now and it has been very good and on going to use her services.
She has a 100% care for all always, she takes her job seriously and always gives feedback about how my girls are doing and anything they can speak to her about.
Helen always cares for my kids like she is their Mother. They always speak great of her.
Helen is very on point about times and care and ensures my kids have a fantastic time when they are with her. She grows their mindset with help in eating healthy snacks and also doing their homework or even simply reading their homework books.
The kids almost want to stay longer when I go to collect them.
If your looking for someone who will not only look after your child but also nurture and love them as their own then Helen is the right childminder. She is simply a wonderful person and a great childminder.
Helen has always been flexible and accommodating to any of our needs. If it's a last minute change of schedule or a special request of time then she will do all she can.
It's true she really wants what is best for the children in her care and for their families, and as a parent and father I need this to be at the forefront of my kids care.
Helen will always keep you in the loop and sends me info and pictures while the kids are in her care and this puts my mind at ease. This type of consistency speaks volumes about the warm, welcoming environment Helen creates.
I am happy to say my kids will miss her when they move to bigger schools and to higher education. Helen is an amazing nanny, carer, childminder, I would give 10 stars if I could.
Helen looked after my twins when they were going through "terrible twos" stage. She just made it all look so effortless and easy. My kids loved her warm personality and connected with her straight away.
She transformed the "terrible twos" into "terrific twos"! My kids loved going to the park, playgrounds, our local Children Centre with Helen and attending various sessions there. Also, they couldn't wait for her to take them to the Library for Weekly Rhymes and singing for kids and explore books afterwards. They felt in love with books with flaps and all the different textures and animal books were their favourite. Helen magically made them fall in love with reading.
Helen is so knowledgeable in toddler development and routines, and posses a special ability to use educational games and knowledge she has and turn it all in fun and cool learning activities.
Kids also really enjoy her food and snacks and movie days with popcorn, strawberries and chocolate pretzels.
Helen has been an incredible nanny for our family. She is extremely helpful and always makes accommodations to understand and meet the needs of our children and our schedules, especially with school drop-offs. Helen is consistently prompt and extremely friendly, which helps our family in a big way whenever we need to book with her.
Her communication skills are excellent; she keeps us well-informed about our children’s activities and any important updates. Her knowledge and resourcefulness are evident in how she engages with our children. They absolutely adore her and always come home happy, sharing fun stories about their time with her. Helen’s beautiful energy and upbeat, bubbly personality put our kids at ease, and we always feel confident that they are safe and well-cared for in her presence.
We highly recommend Helen to any family looking for a dedicated, caring, and enthusiastic nanny.
Helen has provided exceptional care for our child over the past few years. During this time, she has demonstrated a commitment to creating a nurturing, safe, and educational environment that has significantly contributed to our child's development in addition to the wonderful breakfasts which he looks forward to in the morning.
Our child has been able to further develop his essential social skills, respect for others, and the importance of routines. Helen stays in communication, consistently keeping us informed about our child's progress and any concerns that may arise.
In addition to her professional skills, Helen has shown great flexibility and reliability, accommodating our family's schedule with ease and always being there when we needed her. We have seen our child grow in confidence, curiosity, and happiness under Helen’s care and we could not be more grateful for the positive impact she has had on our family. We are truly fortunate to have found someone as dedicated as Helen.
