Agnes

Proactive loving chidcarer

Agnes has fantastic energy levels: never jaded, always smiling, she always finds time to cook superb healthy meals while curating endless picnics, initiating playdates and imaginative days out across London. She never stops!
She can look after several children at once even in a busy park, she is always on the ball and nothing goes unnoticed.
Children and parents love her. And she loves children, and will provide lots of hugs and attention.
She is very experienced, professional and together.
Organised, efficient, highly attentive, focussed, decicated and never stressed, I would not hesitate commending her as a carer or sitter.
Caring, warm and kind, your children will grow in confidence with her as evidenced by kids she has looked after, and commented on by teachers and parents alike.
Punctual and flexible, she is an excellent nanny and childcarer, known and regarded as one of the best in the West of London.
That reminds me, I must organise a playdate for my daughter and the lovely children in her care soon!

Fantastic nanny

We had the good fortune of meeting Agnes through some friends with a view to doing a nanny share with them. She looked after our two year old son for a couple of days a week for nine months and we couldn't have been happier. Our son completely adores her and was always very excited in the morning on the days that he was due to be with her!

Agnes has an amazing enthusiasm and energy and his days with her were always full and exciting. She arranged music classes, play dates, picnics and special outings - giving our busy toddler all the stimulation and exercise he needed. I was always very impressed with how her energy was still present at the end of the day! Alongside this, she still found the time to cook healthy homemade meals for the children. Agnes is incredibly kind, loving and encouraging - always plenty of hugs for the children!! And on days when one of the children was under the weather, she was always able to read the children's needs brilliantly and adapt things as needed.

Agnes is very experienced, professional and organised and I was always able to relax completely when our son was in her care, knowing that he was in safe hands. Equally, nothing was ever too much trouble for her and she was always able to be flexible and to help out whenever we needed extra support or last minute babysitting etc.

I cannot recommend Agnes more highly. She is a fantastic nanny. We feel very lucky to have met her and although she is no longer our nanny, she is still very much part of our lives and I wouldn't hesitate to ask for her help looking after our son.

Lovely Nanny

Agnes worked for us on Fridays for a year and was always happy, full of energy and willing to go the extra mile. She was particularly proactive in organising playdates and meeting up with our neighbours and friends and their children, so that our children always had an active and social day. We hadn't had a nanny before and she made the process very easy - both for children and parents! Thank you Agnes.

Wonderful babysitter

Agnes was recommended to us by a friend and has babysitted for us many times. The first time she met our 4 year old daughter and 2 year old son she befriended them within two minutes flat and was an instant hit with both of the children.
She is kind, caring, trustworthy, clearly very experienced in looking after young children and we felt very comfortable with the children being in her care at all times.
Most highly recommended.

Very Good babysitter

My 4 year old son who did not speak English well when he met Agnes for the first time, she knew making a comfortable atmosphere for him very quickly. My son liked her and always happy to know she was coming. We have moved in south hampstead, but we are happy she has accepted to continue to take care of our son. Great babysitter.

Excellent Nanny

Agnes looked after my little boy when he was very young and he loved her immediately. She was very warm, open and professional. As a result I felt very confident about leaving him with her.

She has looked after him many times since, and has always been prompt, kind, funny and very dedicated to her job. She is a truly excellent Nanny, and I can't recommend her enough.

Wonderful Nanny

We met Agnes when I had decided I wanted to do a 'nanny share' as my childcare option. I had spoken to and met a rather large number of people and I knew as soon as I spoke with Agnes that she would be the loving, fun and reassuring person that I needed to look after my little girl who would have been 11 months at the time. Agnes was wonderful with our little girl who simply adored her and she used to cry when it was time for Agnes to leave, so that tells you what she felt for her! Agnes was excellent with us too, I was a little apprehensive about leaving my little girl and Agnes was fabulous at keeping in touch and telling me what I needed to know throughout the day. She was also really flexible to help out starting earlier or later and would also happily work on her day off for us and sometimes on a Saturday when we needed some help. Agnes was a wonderful addition to our family for the year we were with her, I felt very lucky and the only reason it ended was because we moved away from the area. Having said that, we are still very much in touch and I wouldn't hesitate to ask Agnes to look after my toddler and baby if she could fit it in!

Highly Recommend

Our 1 year old son is currently part of a nanny share with Agnes and we could not recommend her highly enough. Embarking on finding a suitable nanny was a daunting experience and we were so lucky to find her.

Agnes has made everything incredibly easy by being so flexible, reliable and supportive. From her input day to day with the wide ranging activities and fantastic healthy meals she creates to the detailed diary of the day's events which means such a lot. She is brilliant in dealing with the various coughs and colds and I have never had to worry about leaving him with Agnes. I trust her implicitly and she has a natural ability with people and children. The boys adore her and I understand why though I don't know how she still has more energy than the two of them at the end of the day!

There are so many small, practical details that you don't think about with a nanny share and Agnes pre-empts them all. Agnes is warm and welcoming every morning with the day's activities outlined and everything is always packed, clean and ready to go at pick up. Without hesitation Agnes adapted to changes to routine we had wanted to make which has made a huge difference.

We are delighted to be able to recommend Agnes so highly, she is without a doubt someone who goes the extra mile.

Excellent Nanny

Agnes has worked for us since August 2011. She has been a true star. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her as an excellent nanny who has a real talent with children. We are very sad to lose her and are only letting her leave because we are moving to the countryside - out of London.

Agnes is kind and caring - she is very patient with the children. She is hugely energetic and is able to keep the two boys she looks after fully entertained with trips to the park, soft play, playgroups - generally letting them get fresh air and blow off steam!

In terms of the work in the house - she is very clean and always leaves our house spotless. She cooks up lovely, healthy meals for the boys - all fresh food and home cooked. She is very willing and happy to put on a wash or pick up parcels etc.. if needed - this has been a huge help.

What is great about Agnes is her can do attitude. She is very flexible and always available if needed after hours i.e. at weekends or evenings. She's very open and happy to change and has proved that she is 100% reliable. In all the time that she has worked for us over 1.5yrs she's only had one sick day. She is never late.

I feel very lucky to have found Agnes - she has such a great relationship with the boys and so much experience at doing nanny shares. The next family to get Agnes will be a very lucky family indeed!
