Excellent babysitting experience

Penny was the first babysitting experience we’ve had for our baby daughter (outside the family.) She was excellent throughout - she made a separate trip before the evening itself to meet our daughter (who warmed to her immediately) and arrived early on the evening she babysat for us. Her warm and extremely pleasant demeanour put us both at ease and she is a really reliable person; Penny kept us informed during the babysitting that all was well, as I requested. As a bonus, she was fully supportive of the cloth nappies we use on our daughter and this is very rare. I would not hesitate to use Penny for childcare in future.

Great environment

My daughter enjoyed spending time with Penny and her Mum. They have a great set up with all the gear pram, cot, toys, high chair etc so makes traveling from afar easier! Penny was super flexible and a realisable safe set of hands.

Saviour with 2 under 2

Penny has worked with us since May 15 caring for my little girl from around 8 months, throughout my return to shift work, pregnancy and birth of my little boy. She was invaluable in the early days with him helping me to sleep during those first few weeks whenever possible, whilst still making my eldest feel important. She has been vital in my return to work, flexible with shifts including nights and periods of multiple days in a row when I have been abroad with work. Her patience with my two spirited children extends to a post shift grumpy mum too and she is always there with a kind word at the end of the day. The children adore her and she gives them all the love you would want them to have when you can't be there to give it yourself. She will follow your lead with discipline and boundaries which is appreciated. Highly recommended especially with young children.

Fantastic Nanny!!

What can I say about Penny? She is a fantastic nanny who has been a Godsend to me. Working as a Police officer, Penny has been brilliant at accommodating my awkward and unsociable duties, she is very flexible and has saved me at short notice, staying on well beyond her arranged hours when I was in desperate need of sleep!

Penny has looked after my children, aged 2 and 6 years since the Summer 2014 and she has become a part of the family. She is always cheerful and upbeat, keen to interact with the children and to take on board their needs. They love the fun craft activities she does with them, like making 'mummy hands' at Halloween!

Penny is a naturally very caring person and clearly loves caring for children. She is sensitive to their feelings, which is especially important to me as she has been nannying for me since I split up with my husband and I had to return to work full time. Although she is kind and caring she is also good at maintaining boundaries and discipline, very much adhering to the same ethos that I have.

Penny more often than not stays overnight and has had several broken nights sleep looking after my 2 year old. She is excellent at calming him down and the lack of sleep never interferes with her child caring. She also keeps me updated with any issues that arise and I have every confidence that my children are safe and well looked after, allowing me to concentrate at work. I really don't know where I would have been without Penny and would be gutted if she were poached!!
