Lucy is our hero. She was able to help us out last minute with some night nannying when our 6 month old was struggling with jet lag. She was professional, punctual, kind, reassuring, confident, warm, aadorable, and proactive. After setting her up with our baby, it was like twenty pounds were lifted off our shoulders knowing he was in her care. She was flexible with our schedule and a very responsive communicator. We are keeping her number for our next trip here. We love Lucy!!!

Lucy has recently babysat our children. We have a 6 year girl and 5mth old boy and Lucy was great with them. We will definitely be asking Lucy to babysit for us again in the very near future and would highly recommend her.

Lucy has looked after our 11 month old daughter on a couple of occasions, for day time and bedtimes, and we can't recommend her highly enough! Lucy is warm, personable, punctual and professional and we have complete trust and confidence when leaving our daughter with her. Lucy sends us updates whilst looking after our girl and has been fantastic at keeping in touch throughout the whole process. We feel extremely lucky to have found a nanny like Lucy!

Lucy was an absolute star. We had a wedding to attend and needed an afternoon/evening babysitter for my 11 month old (who has never been looked after by anyone else), and Lucy was brilliant. She was punctual, professional and kept me updated throughout the day. My daughter was happy & settled when I got home and seemed to have had a lovely time! Highly recommend.

When I first met Lucy I knew she would be a great person to care for my daughter. My daughter of 3 years old always comes back from her time with Lucy with a fun memory made and beaming with a smile. She is also flexible when plans change.I highly recommend her.
