Hannah looked after our children for over two years (from when they were 1 and 4 until they were 3 and 6). We soon realised we'd struck gold. She is so kind and caring, so tuned-in to kids and so conscientious. She did fantastic activities with the kids and coped amazingly well with whatever was thrown at her. She is a thoroughly nice person and a lovely presence.

Hannah looked after my 2 kids as part of a nanny share from September 2016 to February 2017. She is very reliable, punctual and conscientious. She was flexible and thoughtful, and managed to make a very tricky job seem manageable. We had to leave the share as our needs changed, (we offered her increased hours but she was loyal to her other commitments!) I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Hannah to others and wish her luck. Try not to work too hard!

Thank you Rebecca, you were brilliant to work for and I wish you luck with the new nanny. We will have to arrange some playdates for the girls :)
Hannah took care of our baby son (aged 7 months) for about 2 months (four hours a day for three days each week). She played with him, took care of his needs, took him out on walks: to playgroups, to the museum, to the park, etc.
Our son loved being with her. We found her reliable, punctual, and trustworthy and she never gave us any cause to worry. She was also willing to help out with chores around the house and kitchen when we needed her to. At the end of each session, she would write a note informing us of how everything went on during the day, what and how much our son ate, details of nappy changes, activities, and so on.
In summary, Hannah was great and we highly recommend her!

Thanks very much for the review. I hope I see you all again at some point soon, would be lovely to see how much Ashy has grown in this time :)
We have been lucky to have Hannah as nanny for our two Children, even if it was short notice appointment, for two months. She was picking them from school and they had creative happy time home , waiting us to be back from our jobs.Every day she used to study with my 6 year old boy and had a day theme for creations and games. Both our Children enjoyed the time they spent with her!!!

Thanks Tora! Thomas was a star, I hope he is keeping up the good sleeping!
Hannah assisted me through very difficult time with my kids, leading up to her looking after my kids she was very helpful and professional. She thought things through and asked questions when needed. She was very good with my kids and my kids ask about her all the time. When she was not looking after my kids she was assist with the house chores.
I highly recommend Hannah and she will be missed by me and my kids.

Aw, I love spending time with the three of them! Thanks a lot for the review, looking forward to seeing you all again soon!
Hannah stepped into the breach when our nanny was on holiday. Not an easy task with an opinionated toddler who was not quite herself that week, but Hannah took it all in her stride.
Hannah took our daughter to her regular classes (I thought this might help for a smoother time for both Hannah and our daughter) the rest of the time Hannah freestyle it. She kept us informed of how everything went during the day, how much she ate and what they did.
Our daughter seemed very content and comfortable with Hannah and was giggling when I returned home, which was the best recommendation.
Hannah is a natural with kids, fun and upbeat I have no issues recommending her.

Thanks a lot for the review Lara. I really enjoyed my time with your daughter, we had a lovely week! I hope she's feeling much better now :)
Hannah was with our family between April- Sept 2015. Our 2 boys were aged 1 1/2 and 4 and Hannah always managed to find simulating activities for the both to enjoy! She was reliable, punctual and always positive... Hannah was always thinking of fresh ideas for entertaining the children and took them on lots of adventures. The children adored her and were always so happy to see her. She kept us up to date with the day's activities via a journal and would always call and discuss anything they wanted to do outside of these plans. Hannah loved showing the children the natural world, visiting the beach, parks and gardens, collecting leaves and feathers for crafty pictures and taking the children to the petting farm.. Always trustworthy and never gave me any cause for concern. I would highly recommend Hannah as a nanny!

Thankyou Phil/Philippa, as you know, I thoroughly enjoyed the 6 months I spent looking after your boys. If I'm ever in Aberdeen, I'll let you know beforehand so I can pop in and say hi!
Hannah was a temporary Nanny for our two children for a month during which time she took very good care of them.
She was able to warmly engage the children in many different learning and play activities, making their time with her very productive for them and I believe rewarding for her as well.
By providing daily feedback notes she kept us well informed of their daily routine and progress. By the end of her time with us, our 3+ yr old made great strides in her writing, number and letter recognition.
Based on her excellent services we are happy to recommend her as a Nanny.
