Reviews

L Family

“I am incredibly fortunate to have found Rachel, who played a central and formative role in my daughters’ lives. Outstandingly capable, creative and resourceful, she was an unflappable, patient and warm presence throughout their childhood. She organised fun, engaging and stimulating activities while always ensuring they were safe and well supported. They remain enormously fond of her, as do I.”

Alabaster Family

“Rachel was an exceptional nanny and an invaluable part of our family for over four years. She cared for both our children from babies and they absolutely adored her (and still do!). Kind, calm, nurturing and endlessly creative, she inspired their learning through play and helped them grow into confident, curious children. We highly recommend her.”
