Libby was our nanny for a couple of days a week for a few months and, honestly, she was absolutely fantastic. Our daughter loved her and it seemed Libby loved our daughter right back, which is exactly what you hope for when handing a child over to a nanny. She felt like part of the family from day one and the giggles between her and Isla were almost constant.

Libby would always come prepared with things for Isla to do, from attending classes to visiting museums or farm parks or even gymnastics. She opened our eyes to so many amazing child-friendly activities, which has benefited us as a family even on the days when Libby isn’t with us. She was always punctual and so friendly, and looked after Isla with the right balance of doing what she felt was right and adhering to the way we try to look after Isla ourselves. Routine was always respected and food was always considered. She prepared so many great meals for Isla and would always batch up for us to use the rest of the time, helping us to find new recipes and snacks that Isla loves. Throughout the day she would also send plenty of updates and photos so we knew what was going on.

We’re so sad to see Libby go and will be very envious of whichever family gets her next. She’s been a wonderful influence on Isla and the whole family and we couldn’t recommend her enough.
