Ann nannied for our family for 3 years when our youngest daughter was just 3 years old and our eldest 5 years old. She showed our girls the same love, care and compassion any parent would and was also very competent when it came to teaching them good manners, acceptable behaviour and to be polite. We have remained great friends and the girls still run up to Ann to give her a hug whenever they can.
During her time with us Ann took the children to pre-school and school and to and from groups and extra-curricula clubs such as swimming, rainbows/brownies, dancing etc.
Ann organised lunches and dinners, preparing and cooking a variety of healthy, balanced meals that introduced the girls to new foods as well as serving up their firm favourites.
Ann would keep us abreast of school dates and important information and very ably helped us to keep organised in our busy lives.
Ann also has a dab sewing hand she put to good use sewing on many rainbow and brownie badges!
Ann generally helped around the house too, washing and ironing the girls’ clothes, changing their beds and, with them, tidying their rooms and the playroom and would often sift through toys weeding out those that they’d grown out of and rotating others to keep them interested and entertained. In addition Ann also made sure she found the time to dedicate to the girls’ reading, writing and homework when they started school.
Ann is incredibly reliable never having had a day off sick and was very flexible to meet our needs.
Both our girls are now at school and I would be very happy to have a conversation with any new prospective family for Ann to take care of should you wish too.
