Testimonials

We met Katie before Myra was born and we were immediately impressed by her warmth, knowledge and empathy.

During our first few weeks with Myra, Katie was a great support in assisting of learning of how to become parents. Her love of children was immediately apparent to us when she met Myra for the first time. She made us feel completely comfortable and encouraged us to ask her many questions about what and how we should be doing things. She provided us with the tools and guidelines to establish a wonderful bond and understanding of our child and at the same time ensuring we be kind to ourselves. Katie went on to look after Myra one day a week while I returned to work, we felt completely at ease with Myra being in her care.

We would have no hesitation at all in recommending her for newborn advice or care. She is one of the kindest and most genuine people I have met and has a wealth of knowledge with regards to babies, newborns and first time parents. Katie shared and delivered her knowledge in a reassuring, respectful and empowering manner.

Katie joined us as a sole charge nanny for our daughter Lola when she was only 3 weeks old. We met while I was pregnant with Lola after being recommended by two mothers who spoke so highly of her confidence and knowledge of newborn care. At this early stage Katie helped me establish feeding and sleep routines so I was able to return to work in my business where needed when Lola was 6 weeks old.

Katie performed her role over and above our expectations as a caregiver for Lola and we have learnt so much from her at every stage of Lola’s development, growth and learning. We have found her to be reliable, responsible, diligent and highly capable, with an impeccable attention to detail and delightful friendly approach with friends, family and all children of any age.

Katie has advised and helped several friends throughout their newborn journey with babies arriving at a similar time to Lola and asked her for help. She approaches all situations with a calm, open-minded manner and is an excellent listener above all before offering her thoughts. Katie has a  ‘can do’ attitude which she applies to any task at hand and encourages others to act with integrity and pride in everything they do.

Her responsibilities with Lola were sole care from the first weeks of meeting and we relied on her heavily for advice and guidance on each stage of Lola’s development. All of which she carried out with enthusiasm and skill based on her knowledge and training.

She has been an integral part of our journey as parents over the last two years and will genuinely be missed by Liam, Lola and I when she pursues her career in newborn care and reduces her hours with our family. We wish her the very best for her super bright future ahead and would recommend her with confidence as a brilliant caregiver. We are looking forward to staying close with Katie in the years ahead and would be delighted to welcome her back to help with newborn care in the future.

Katie was recommended to us through a friend that she had worked with previously, taking care of their newborn son from birth. We met Katie when our newborn daughter was six weeks old. It wasn’t the easiest six weeks for us as we already had the news that our daughter was deaf in her right ear, and had a hole in her heart. She joined us when we were at our most worried and anxiety ridden. 

She came to us two days a week for three months, to help out with our newborn daughter and occasional help with our three year old son. Our family is in the UK and we had no family locally so we hadn’t left our newborn with anyone at all in six weeks. Katie’s ability to roll her sleeves up and mix in and help is remarkable and her baby knowledge and passion is outstanding. And above all else, she simply loves to care for babies and children. She is responsible, caring, flexible, and absolutely one of a kind, a definite mature head on young shoulders. 

If you could bottle her up and sell her off the world would be a nicer place! We have no hesitation at all in recommending Katie to potential families and are happy to be contacted to discuss further. 

Katie was part of our family from day one, looking after our Son, Harvey. Although this placement was brief, we all grew very fond of Katie. I saw how she cared for my friends little girl & thought if I could ever have anyone to look after Harvey, I would love someone just like Katie. We were lucky enough Katie had one day per week come available to look after Harvey. I grasped at the opportunity.

Katie looked after Harvey at our home one full day a week. My Husband & I always commented on the wonderful energy & enthusiasm she brought along every single week. Harvey was always so happy to see her & his face would light up when she arrived.

Katie’s manner is calm yet confident & she has an inspiring way with children. They just adore her so much. This is wonderful to watch, she’s the young Mary Poppins! Having Katie was a wonderful transition for Harvey going on to Day Care, when Katie left us to look after a new-born baby.

We knew Katie coming on was a short-term arrangement, however, this didn’t make it at all easy to say goodbye. Katie was such a great pleasure to have around & we were very sad to see her leave but we only wish her best of luck. We would highly recommend her for any job with any family & you would only be so lucky to have her.

Katie is a highly motivated person and treats her role as a nanny as a profession rather than as simply a job. She genuinely adores babies and takes a very intelligent and open minded approach to their care. Katie is extremely well informed about the needs of young babies in terms of sleep routines, settling techniques, feeding (both bottle and breast feeding) and has a good understanding of the needs of babies in terms of developmental play and age appropriate activities and stimulation.

Katie is particularly skilled in: Settling a baby to sleep (and resettling a baby who has woken after only a short sleep); setting and following an age appropriate routine for a baby; preparing and serving milk feeds and solid meals; changing, bathing and dressing infants; playing with and entertaining babies.

Katie has many strengths but her main strength according to my observation is her capability to engage with a child in her care. She always seemed genuinely interested in my child’s development and presented new ways of play and learning to Jack that really captured his attention. Katie possess those qualities that make for a great nanny. She is energetic, articulate, fun, reliable, trustworthy, motivated, and able to fit in with new people and new situations with ease. I highly recommend her for a nanny position.
