I found Jackie through this website back in November 2016 after I'd just had our twin boys and was struggling with lack of sleep. She came to the rescue as a night nanny. It was the best money we could have spent. Jackie is very calm and her quiet confidence allowed me to trust her from day one. She's had years of experience and it shows.

As a first-time older mum, it was great to have someone as knowledgeable as Jackie for that extra reassurance I needed. We chatted through ideas about routines, feeding and a million other things to do with the boys and she always shared her experience and knowledge openly and freely, but without ever judging or being closed to my own ideas. A perfect balance.

We loved Jackie so much, as did the boys, that we asked her to stay on as a daytime nanny ad-hoc until very recently, when I needed more hours cover. She has been fantastic at helping me through the boys' first stages of teething and weaning. Again, her experience was brilliant to draw on and her advice has been invaluable. She helped me solve any blips in the boys' routine and set me off on the right path with how to wean the boys.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Jackie, she's lovely, she's been brilliant with my boys, and has helped me gain my confidence in motherhood.
