I work from home full-time and returned to work when my son was just six months old. Initially, we were considering a childminder, but I wasn’t ready to be apart from him at such a young age. That’s when we decided to explore having a nanny as a short-term solution while he got older.

I didn’t think it would be so easy to find someone I trusted with my son while he was so young, but Timnit made that happen. Her interaction with our son has been amazing. She knows when to let him quietly observe and take in his surroundings and when to engage him with play and songs. Her confidence and warmth made it easy for me to trust her, even when she took him out.
One of the things I appreciated about Timnit was her genuine interest in my son’s development. She quickly got to know him and noticed the small details—like his teething and sleep patterns—and made thoughtful suggestions that really helped us. For example, she encouraged us to turn his pram forward-facing, which completely changed how much he enjoyed going out. She also took pride in helping him grow, celebrating milestones like improvements in his naps.

Our son was clearly happy and comfortable in her care.

She worked 3 days a week and her role included taking my son to a local children’s centre, feeding him, changing nappies, putting him down for naps - basically keeping him happy and engaged, which she dies

I would recommend Timnit to any family looking for someone who will connect with their child and who they can trust, especially with young babies.

She’s also a mother to three beautiful, bright children, which is a testament to her experience and nurturing nature.

We’ve been grateful to have had Timnit caring for our son during this time.
