Karla has recently cared for my 1 year old son. Earlier in the year both my sons age 2 months & 4 years old at the time. She is very dependable, communicative, caring & tentative towards my sons needs. He has always been happy, settled, well cared for & rested in her care. I would highly recommend Karla based on our experiences.

Karla came to our house on time, and she is very trustworthy and energetic. My daughter, 11 months old loved playing with her. I was also thankful for her sending me a picture of my baby every hour!

Karla was a nanny a few times for my child and his friends. The kids had so much fun with her, and we felt that they were very safe and happy with her. Karla sent pictures at the end of their day, and also gave us a summary of what the kids were up to while they were together. Overall, she is caring and very responsible .

I wouldn't hesitate in immediately recommending Karla to anyone! She was super responsive to organise the babysitting with on WhatsApp and asked lot of questions which was really reassuring. We have 2 boys (aged 3 and 6) and despite having not met them prior to the night of the babysitting somehow worked absolute magic and was able to immediately build a lovely rapport with them, put them to bed (!!!) and they settled down perfectly for her .. and not a peep afterwards. Karla messaged when we were out to reassure us all was well which was really appreciated. Lovely person and honestly super nanny! We will definitely be using her again.

Karla helped me last minute with my baby girl. As she was busy, first tried to find someone else to babysit my baby, however, as the other person could make it because she was sick, she offered her help.
Great communication, she kept on sending me photos and telling me how she was doing.
Karla was great with my baby. It was the first time my she was with out her mom and had to drink milk from a bottle. Nevertheless, my baby was very happy with her.

Karla came and looked after our lively 3 year old for 4 hours. He warmed to her straight away and was very happy. She read with him and played with him and he was very well-entertained. We hope to have her babysit again!

Karla has been our lively three year old’s nanny for 2 years. She has been fantastic and we are only sorry that now is the time for our son to go to full time preschool nursery so we no longer need full time childcare. We are very sorry to lose her as she is caring, responsible, fun, active, dedicated and lovely to have around the house. Our son loves her very much and our older children (12 and 15!) have enjoyed having her support too. She also teaches and guides through play and imaginary games so our son is very engaged. Highly recommended.

Karla came to babysit for our 5yo and 1yo for an evening and she was amazing handling the two kids. She had no troubles at all and the kids loved her.
She’s super professional, flexible and hard working. We highly recommend her and we’ll ask her to comeback for sure if we ever need a Nanny again.

Karla was extremely professional, helpful, kind, caring, thoughtful, and attentive to details as well as a great communicator. She took care of my eight-year old daughter while I was on a work trip to Cambridge, and my daughter absolutely loved her. You could not ask for more--totally trustworthy and wonderful with children! I would definitely use her again!

Karla was accommodating with her hours and looked after my little one for the evening when I was away. They got along straightway - she followed the evening routine without any issue, and managed to put my toddler to bed on time. I'm very pleased.

Karla was simply amazing with our 7 month old little girl. She babysat for us in a hotel room, and within minutes of meeting, our daughter was reaching out to be held by Karla, who then proceeded to help me get her ready for bed, and to sleep (which is no mean feat for our little sleep thief!) whilst I was out. She was professional, helpful, kind and very competent.

Karla came to our hotel for a few hours to watch my daughter while I was at a business dinner. I was traveling to Cambridge for work and organizing everything with Karla was easy - she was very communicative and easy to coordinate with over WhatsApp. My daughter (3.5 years old) loved her and wasn't upset at all when I left.

Karla was brilliant in providing emergency childcare cover for our 15 month old. She was very flexible and her communication was excellent. It was the first time she had met our daughter but she immediately put her (and us) at ease with her warm and friendly nature. She was excellent at playing with our daughter and keeping her happy and entertained throughout the day. We will definitely use Karla again and would thoroughly recommend her to others!

Karla watched our 16-month old recently for an afternoon and she was able to instantly get her to play with her. She was reliable and very communicative throughout the time she was watching her and sent us some cute photos! She was also flexible when we were running a bit late which was very much appreciated. We will definitely use her again!

Karla has looked after my 3 year old daughter a few times. My daughter is slow to warm up to new people and it was her first experience with a nanny. I was expecting my daughter to be upset about staying with someone new, but I was very happily surprised that by the second time that Karla came to look after her, my daughter was very excited and happy to stay with Karla. Karla was very good at playing with my daughter and following her lead, which kept her engaged the whole time she was here. My daughter tells me that she loves Karla every time she has been looked after her :)

Karla has been helping my daughter keep up her A level Spanish. They have had regular sessions on line for around 6 months now. She helped her prepare for a university interview in Spanish law and was invaluable. They got on very well and my daughter improved her confidence and fluency which helped her sail through the interview. Would definitely recommend

Karla was our aupair for 2 years and as a monoparental family, finding a trustworthy
, loving and caring person was of outmost priority. I had to travel on a regular basis, away for a few days at a time and Karla proved to be an absolute diamond as she would be the sole carer of my 2 and 4 years old children. They were in a safe environment, stimulated with learning games and their day was packed full of activities organised by Karla. Their routine was followed at all times and they were so happy to be with her.
At one time my daughter was I’ll and whilst I was away she took the initiative to take her to the doctor’s and kept me updated at all times with information, photos and videos.Comments from other parents about how loving, caring and attentive she was with them was a true reflexion of not only how professional she is, but also caring about my children as if there were hers.
Even though we moved away, we had Karla nannying for us on several occasions when we have had a few emergencies as the children would not want anyone else.
I truly recommend Karla; As my children say: She’s the best nanny ever!!!!!!

Karla was the nanny for our 9 month year old in 2020 - she is a true baby whisperer! Our little one was so well looked after and delighted in Karla’s songs, games, and cuddles. I would recommend her unreservedly to anyone - she is outstanding! - and a pleasure to have around: reliable, thoughtful, kind. We moved away sadly and miss her hugely!

Karla looked after my children when they were 6 and 7, and she was super-kind and friendly, and always managed to instil discipline while keeping the kids onside. She took them to activities and cooked them meals, and managed the house when we weren’t around. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable nanny.

Karla worked with our family from march to July this year. She looked after our 6-month-old. Karla was very diligent, always on time, singing songs, playing games, very active and looking after our baby. She quickly felt like part of family and we're still in touch. We like to text and she always wants to see photos of the kids. She's great!
