My husband and I employed Helen Green from May 2016 to February 2017 to care for our son from the age of 9 months to 18 months. We regretfully had to terminate Helen’s contract due to relocation away from Yorkshire. During her time with us, Helen provided an exemplary level of care for our son.

On the days that Helen cared for our son, she provided a wide and varied range of activities for him including everything from messy play groups and trips to animal parks, to reading and playing at home.

My husband and I don’t have family locally which was partly why we opted to employ Helen rather than relying on a nursey. Helen was extremely flexible and willing to work around our evolving needs. She was also willing to go above and beyond on the occasions when we needed her to provide care outside of her usual working day, caring for our son overnight on a number of occasions when work commitments took us away from home.

Helen was a great support when we started the weaning journey. She was confident in preparing a whole range of home-made meals for our son and made it look so easy that it gave us the confidence to prepare foods at home as well, rather than relying on shop bought food. This meant that he was introduced to a much wider range of food than he would have been otherwise.

Employing Helen enabled my husband and I to return to work in the comfort that our son was being well cared for. He always returned home from a day with Helen happy and smiley which meant that over time we felt like we were leaving him in the care of a trusted family member rather than an employee.

I would not hesitate to recommend Helen for her level of care and dedication.
