Can not rate Clarisse highly enough

Reviewed

Clarisse has been working with our family as our family nanny since September 2018. We are desperately sad that she will no longer be working with our family, however our circumstances have changed so we just cannot offer the hours that she requires.

Clarisse has been looking after our 3 children aged 7, nearly 6 and nearly 3 for six months, and in that time she has made herself an indispensable and much loved member of our family. She helps get them ready for school, manages the school run, looks after our youngest in the day, and then does the end of the day school run, helping with the end of the day routine. During the day she will take our youngest to a variety of playgroups, keeping her active and engaged with different activities (singing, creative play, reading etc). She will take my daughter to the park, her allotment, and soft play. She has helped develop my daughter into an independant young girl.

She manages the 3 children all together in our own home, and is exceptionally fair yet firm when dealing with the inevitable demands that 3 lively young children put on her! Our middle child has as-yet-unestablished SEN, and Clarisse has really helped him in managing his emotions, been there to soothe him with TLC when he needs it. She also helps manage the household in matters relating to the children and is much better than I am when it comes to remembering when we need essentials like bread and milk! She will make the children's evening meals also (sometimes even leaving leftovers for us!).

Most of all, she is just wonderful with the children. As much as she has been a professional working with us, she has also developed into a real friend, and someone we will miss tremendously. I cannot rate her highly enough.
