We had Maggie to look after our son - she has been our part-time nanny for a year now and she is just amazing.
Maggie is a very caring and helpful person and very flexible and accommodating- helped out on so many occasion on my last minute requests. We couldn’t thank her enough for her help with our son and the house - we came back home to a very clean and tidy house and she always went an extra step and did laundry and bedding and other house bits for me which I appreciate so much.
My son absolutely adores her - she is so great with kids. She would do little activities with them, take them on bus rides and she always brought so many toys/ activities and snacks for him as well. My son has developed and grown so much since she joined.
Maggie and her lil beautiful girl Avery who came along, became part of our family and we are gutted she is leaving ( she is now a chilminder)
I have on a few occasions left my son at Maggie’s setting and it’s so child friendly.
She is someone who loves children and loves her job. I’ll take her back in a beat!

We absolutely love Maggie.
We needed help with our newborn baby during night time and started interviewing but couldn't find the right fit until we found Maggie. From the first moment she walked through the door she went straight to bond with the baby where as most nannies would seek to impress us as parents and chit chat, Maggie was all about the baby. We felt so relived to see how nice our baby took on to Maggie and how quickly they bonded. Maggie was always so respectful of our house rules, never wore any strong perfumes, would always wash her hands and just overall a clean lady. We love Maggie and her warm and kind manners we couldn't recommend her enough.

We started working with Maggie in February 2022. We were looking for someone able to take care of our 8 months old Daughter Julia and our 5 years old Vera and also being able to keep the house organised. The first day we met Maggie was with her daughter Avery (at that time was 4m old). At that time we decided that it could work for Maggie to take care of Julia and Avery, and Vera after school and for the last year it’s been working great as our girls are growing up as if they were sisters! Maggie has been doing an amazing job with them from day one and she has been always available for us any time we needed her. Always very helpful and supportive with me and my husband and the children made our life easier and happy. Julia now is nearly 2 and loves being with Maggie and Avery and also loves Oliver (Maggie’s husband), She is able to count and talk in Spanish and English and even some words in Hungarian that Maggie teaches her. Julia and Avery go to baby groups every day and have a good eating and sleeping routine. Also Maggie cooks amazing healthy foods for them every day.
We definitely couldn’t ask for more! I would recommend Maggie to anyone!
Maggie, Avery and Oliver will be always part of our UK family!

Maggie worked for us full time 5 days a week from 08:30 to 18:30 hrs. daily between 09/09/2019 till the 26/03/2021. When she started our son was only 6 months old months old and our daughter was 4 years old. At the time we had been overwhelmed with trying to care for the children, especially as I worked away from home. Within a week she had tidied the house, the children’s clothes were arranged neatly according to purpose, and she was hands on with the children. She was responsible for dropping and picking our daughter to and from school and caring for our son as well as keeping the house neat, tidy and clean. She very quickly got them into a regular daily routine, enabling us to have “our time” in the evenings. She would regularly take our son out for walks and to play centres. She also helped develop his language skills- people always were surprised at how advanced his language was. She also was great with cuddles for the children.
When the COVID-19 lockdown started, she was a godsend as she took over the online schooling for our daughter which enabled my husband and I to continue working without any interruption. She was able to be firm but fair with our daughter around homework etc.
Maggie has strong opinions around child rearing which a lot of parents would appreciate- she runs a streamlined, clean, tidy, and fun home and she uses her imagination to good effect when it comes to entertaining kids. She was friendly with us the parents and we still maintain close contact even though she has moved to a different county we visit each other regularly. She is also a wizard when it comes to getting kids toys to work. The number of our children’s toys she has revived is amazing!
Her time keeping was impeccable and her work ethic is really good. She even booked her hospital and dental appointments at weekends in order not to impact on our routines.
I would recommend Maggie to other families as a nanny.
