Nick has been employed by us from 1 September 2005 to 31 August 2008. During that time he has had the sole charge of our four children, from the ages of 6 weeks to 9 years.
Nick has been a very capable and reliable nanny; he is a mature and responsible, caring person who is very confident of using his own judgement and acting on his own initiative to provide the best childcare possible.
He invariably arrives early and leaves late, and he has voluntarily given up his own time to take the children on birthday outings or other treats.
Nick has been unfazed by any of the challenges presented by a large and lively family. He copes well with sick children, minor accidents and injuries, keeping us informed when necessary but very capable of dealing with most eventualities without needing assistance.
He has provided our children with a wide range of stimulating and enjoyable activities, both at home and on outings (to parks, beaches, museums, toddler groups, swimming, gymnastics, etc.) He is an excellent source of information about family-friendly places within our local area, and he makes very efficient use of the small budget he is given to spend on the children.
We have always found Nick very flexible, being willing to stay late in an emergency and provide weekend or evening care on request. He can also turn his hand to most domestic tasks: washing, sewing on name labels, sourcing items of school uniform, and even simple plumbing, rewiring and IT support! Nick was invaluable after the birth of our youngest child, and he has played a significant part in our children's formative experiences. He has taken our older children to school and collected them at the end of the day, and he has accompanied us to taster days, sports fixtures and various other events.
Nick is not just an extremely dependable, efficient and entirely trustworthy nanny: he takes a genuine interest in children and their development as individuals. He is firm but fair, and seems to possess endless patience. In three years he has never taken any sickness absence. We consider ourselves extremely lucky to have had Nick for all this time; our children love him and will miss him very much. We would have liked to keep him for longer but he has made the decision it is time to move on.
