Shannon worked for us from April to date as our day nanny. We have 2 children – a 3 year old little girl and a 5 month baby boy. My husband and I work long hours and we therefore needed a very dependable child carer.
Shannon was simply amazing from the get go. She is, of course, a very experienced nanny having held live in and day jobs in the past. Before every day she would send a very detailed plan of the day in terms of activities - be those physical as well as mental and that gave me comfort to know that there was adequate and suitable stimulation for the children. On feeding, Shannon encouraged a wide variety of lunchtime items that our toddler is more engaged with lunchtime eating – be that by participating in making pasta or chopping veg/fruit or making scrambled eggs. Shannon has great experience of feeding tips for toddlers.
Shannon would arrange outings to the park or library or museum and also kept things lively with forest school which our little girl loved. Shannon would also take her swimming training and the difference in terms of our toddler’s confidence and interest in swimming and water more generally is simply unbelievable.
Other points to note, Shannon always tidied up after cooking and ensured that the nursery was as tidy as possible and she would ensure that any soiled clothes were in the washing machine. She was also very good at ensuring that there were sufficient spare clothes which meant I didn’t have to worry if a sudden change of clothes was needed. Shannon was always punctual and reliable and keep me up to speed with all the days activities as well as providing photos of key moments (with my consent). Shannon has a very calm demeanour especially when dealing with high spirited toddlers – she was able to talk to my daughter in a soothing and comforting manner. She has endless enthusiasm and patience and I always knew my children were safe and happy in her care. I was also always impressed as Shannon would go above and beyond and research other age appropriate activities for my daughter.
I am delighted to be able to provide Shannon with an excellent reference and any family would be very lucky to have her.

Communication
Shannon is a very professional and reliable childcare provider. My little girl loves her and I never worry when she is in Shannon’s care as I have absolute faith in her. She is very hands on and can keep my 18month old entertained for hours.
Great communication and really lovely to deal with. Would highly recommend.
