Fiona has been an incredible Nanny to my two boys (8months and nearly 3YO). She is extremely experienced and nothing phases her. She has a magic gift that enchants both my boys and she truly cares for them both. She carefully plans her days with them, bringing activities and tracking their development and milestones over time. She is energetic and loves getting out and about with them. It has been a joy to have her care for them and we are gutted we have to say our goodbyes (we are relocating). A true gem - would highly recommend!

Thanks Jen for the lovely , I will miss you all!
Fiona looked after my twins for just over a year , since they were 1 year old . From day 1 she was - in charge and in control and very calm. She’s v professional and competent and reliable. Makes kids do tons of arts, crafts, baking, music, nursery rhymes. Lives taking them to the park, shopping for clothes and runs errands if possible. Very good at her job and is a fab nanny. She cooked baby food for them, purée etc when they were weaning. Gives them balanced and varied meals. Plays games and advises on age appropriate activities, toys . She’s amazing. She hosted a lovely surprise lock down birthday party and Xmas for my twins( me, her n the twins) and kids n I loved it. My kids adore her. She’s very responsible and takes
Great care of the kids.

I was looking for a nanny and was highly impressed when I came across Fionas profile. After meeting with her and her meeting with my children there was no doubt in my mind that this lady was exactly what I was looking for and more in a nanny. I have children of various ages ranging from 13 to 2. The connection she made with my children was just magical. They learnt so much from Fiona she made learning fun. Fiona cooked the childrens meals kept their play areas tidy would do everything to meet the needs and requirements of my children. She went above and beyond. During the school holidays Fiona would organise days out for the children whether it be park visits or further afield they were always so excited to tell me about their days with her. Having Fiona in our lives made a massive difference to us as a family unit. I couldn't recommend this lady enough... If your looking for a nanny look no further than this profile this lady really is the best !!

Fiona is an amazing childminder to my 2 children age 5 and 21/2.
They have progressed so much, my 5 year old with her school and my 2 1/2 year old with his speech and potty training with her and the love her very much.
She is always helpful and is firm but fair to the kids. She has a lot of patience and a lot of love for my 2.
I would recommend her services to anyone
