"I am very happy to recommend Sophie for a nanny position. She provided after-school care for our 7-year-old, including school pick-ups and afternoon supervision, and she was truly fantastic.
Sophie was always punctual, reliable, and communicative, which gave us great peace of mind and made our afternoons run smoothly. After school, she helped with snacks, homework time, and engaging activities, and she had a wonderful ability to balance structure with fun.
What stood out most was the genuine relationship Sophie built with our child. She took the time to connect, listen, and support our child’s needs, and it showed in how comfortable and happy our child was with her. Sophie even made the effort to attend school events and support important milestones, which meant a great deal to our family.
She is responsible, caring, and truly invested in the children she works with. Any family would be lucky to have Sophie as part of their childcare team, and I recommend her without hesitation."
