"We were incredibly fortunate to have Sam as our nanny for the past two years, caring for our three children, ages 7, 5, and 3. From the start, she has been wonderful with our kids, building a strong and loving relationship with each of them. Her natural warmth and patience made her a perfect fit for our family. One of the things we appreciated most about Sam was her commitment to keeping the children active and engaged. She made it a point to take them outside regularly, whether for walks, bike riding, or just playing in the garden. These outdoor activities were a big hit with our kids and provided them with much-needed fresh air and exercise. She was also very flexible and accommodating. This flexibility was so helpful in keeping our daily schedule running smoothly, and it made our children’s time with her both enjoyable and relaxed. We wholeheartedly recommend Sam to any family looking for a caring, responsible, and flexible nanny who truly puts the needs of children first."
