helen 14's Reviews

Excellent nanny

Helen was nanny to our two children between January and June 2012. At the time the children were 9 months and 4 years. She started when I returned to work after maternity leave and immediately fitted into the family, making the transition back to work very easy. Helen is warm, caring and smiley, but can be firm if needed. She is tidy, organised and planned lots of activities for the children both in and around our home.

We relocated to the South West of England and could not persuade Helen to come with us - she has been hard to beat!

In summary, Helen is an excellent nanny who I would highly recommend.

Fantastic nanny

Helen is currently nanny to our two boys that she mentions in her current profile (July 2013). She has been with us just over 1 year. My wife is taking a career break for a year and therefore we no longer need childcare. We are very sad to be loosing Helen and we hope not to loose touch with her.

Helen has been a fantastic asset to our family and a wonderful nanny to the boys. She has contributed to all areas of family life. She organises a good mix of activities that provide a balance between fun and education, activity and quiet time. This has helped both boys development in a great many ways. Helen is extremely flexible, adaptable and enthusiastic. She is extremely easy to have working in your home and is meticulous about leaving the house tidy (if not more tidy!) than when she found it.

As a parent we have always felt the boys are safe with Helen. She frequently takes them on activites away from home in her car, both locally and further afield. We have found her to be honest, reliable and trustworthy.

From our perspective if you are looking for an excellent nanny you should look no further but beware at interview - she has a talent for underselling herself. I would be happy to provide a structured reference to her future employer.
