Anna will have been with us for 8 months by the time she leaves. During that time, she has been looking after both my girls, Ivy and Georgia, aged 4 and 1. She has a full day with them both on Monday and then drops off my eldest at nursery the other 3 days in the week week before taking my littlest one to play groups, sing sessions, parks and libraries. She picks up the eldest from nursery at 3pm and looks after them both till my husband gets back from work. She has also done some ad hoc babysitting for us and has been very punctual and flexible with her hours which we have appreciated.

Backing up all the other reviews, I would describe Anna as a genuine, warm, kind and patient person who takes the time to really engage and inter-act with the kids. I never worry about leaving them with her and I can tell that all is well just by seeing the way they are together. They have lots of fun and laughs. My girls really took to Anna - she definitely has a knack with kids. They were relaxed and at ease in her presence pretty much for the get-go and are always pleased to see her when she arrives in the morning. We are going to miss her and I am genuinely sad not to be continuing. However, my youngest will be starting nursery shortly so there is no longer the same need. Hence she will be available from mid-May.

We feel lucky to have had such a positive experience with Anna and I think any family would be fortunate to find her and have her support.
