Kerry was our nanny for 14 years.
She came to us when my oldest was under 2 and our second child was 4 months old. When we had our third child 6 years later she was with us from the beginning, helping late into the evening and having our children over night when required.
She is calm and loving in her approach. She looked after their physical, emotional, educational and quite simply fun needs. She developed clear routines and helped through so many stages of their development.
People often said to me that don’t you get worried that your children will be too close to Kerry. I loved that they were so close, because I could work, and rest when needed, knowing the children were with someone they loved.
She is still a friend to the family now (yes my 21 year old and her brother and sister. ) I would not hesitate to recommend Kerry for all your childcare needs and I am happy to speak to anyone further if they are looking to employ her.

Kerry first came into our lives around 2 months before our second daughter came along. With my husbands very demanding job and a 20 month old, we made the decision that we needed some help and therefore employed Kerry as a part time nanny.
Before our second daughter was born, Kerry bonded with our eldest daughter and enabled me to have time to get organised and get some much needed rest before the baby arrived. Once she was born, Kerry proved to be amazing, she not only took incredible care of the baby, bathing, soothing and once I reluctantly had to stop breast feeding, Kerry would sterilise, prepare and then feed, enabling me to spend time with our other daughter, (who was potty training at the time) in the comfort of knowing the baby was in extremely safe hands.
Kerry was also extremely comfortable and competent at taking care of the eldest so that I could spend time with the baby without the interruptions of a toddler. On many occasions, Kerry would stay over and take the night shift allowing me much needed sleep.
Our girls loved (and still do) Kerry and I can honestly say that the emotional support that kerry gave me at the time truly helped me through what we all know is a beautiful but extremely exhausting period of our family’s life. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kerry.

Kerry was our night nanny for 5 months, for five nights a week, from when our second child was born. She was attentive and careful, looking after our daughter in exactly the way my husband and I wanted. She fed and changed her and practised safe sleep techniques, checking on her regularly. Kerry was also nurturing and loving towards our baby - she took good care of her need for kindness and cuddles, and this was very important to us. I felt that I could rest and sleep, leaving my daughter with Kerry, and that all of her needs would be met.
Kerry is extremely knowledgeable and experienced. Before our daughter was born, she began to offer guidance on how to best care for her. She advised on the best products, sending links and information. While she was with us, she ensured we adjusted the feeds at the correct times and that our daughter was gaining weight appropriately. Her support was emotional as well as practical - she gave me reassurance that I was doing the best I could for my young and vulnerable child, which greatly helped my confidence.
During her time with us, Kerry also established a strong and warm relationship with our son, who was five. She made lots of time for him and he enjoyed chatting with her. She suggested toys and venues for days out which she thought he would enjoy. She saw her role as fitting in and working with the whole family, which was more than I had expected when I initially approached Kerry for her help with my baby.
Kerry was the perfect night nanny for our whole family. She was calm and adaptable, friendly and supportive. She is undoubtedly a 'people person', with the ability to empathise with parents' feelings, whilst also bonding wonderfully with their children. Kerry is extremely professional and I would unreservedly recommend her to anybody's family.
