References

Tanya: It is with heartfelt gratitude that we write this reference for PC, who has been an integral part of our family since our son was just two months old. Thrust into the deep end during a challenging transition as I returned to work, Pretty demonstrated remarkable gentleness, patience, and dedication.

PC cared for our son with immense love, especially during a difficult period when he was unwell. Her nurturing nature, soothing songs, and unwavering attention created a strong bond between them, making her truly indispensable to our family. She is incredibly reliable, always punctual, and has graciously accommodated our fluctuating schedules, often working early mornings, late evenings, and occasional weekends.

Beyond childcare, PC managed household responsibilities such as cleaning and laundry with diligence and a cheerful spirit. Her trustworthy nature and positive demeanor have been a source of comfort and joy in our home.

Unfortunately, as we are relocating, PC is unable to join us—a loss we deeply feel. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any family seeking a compassionate, dependable, and dedicated caregiver. She will undoubtedly bring warmth and care to any home.

 

Collet Family: I highly recommend her services. She provided exceptional care for my 89-year-old mother, offering meticulous assistance such as administering a bed bath, preparing and serving meals, managing laundry, and overseeing housekeeping duties. Her punctuality and unwavering attendance reflect her reliability. In the context of my mother’s diagnosis of dementia and Alzheimer’s, she has consistently demonstrated remarkable patience and adeptness in handling challenging situations. Despite occasional outbursts from my mother, she navigated her responsibilities seamlessly. Importantly, her trustworthiness is evident, as there have been no incidents of misplaced items or financial discrepancies, even in an environment where valuables are not secured. Her efficiency is noteworthy, consistently completing tasks in a timely manner. Overall, I have no reservations in endorsing her for her exemplary caregiving abilities.

J Shahid: She has been employed by me from 2017 I got her through an agency called Great Au pair, She was looking after my son from new born and she was great with him, she applied skills and methods she optioned from her trainings. She also did general housekeeping duties. She was always at work and on time. She is a good worker and a great nanny. She is friendly and humble and she is loyal and trustworthy. She lost her sister and in my opinion she lost motivation while dealing with her loss. We came to agreement that I let her go and put my child in school.

Y Singh: She worked for me for some time, She was looking after my son who was 1 at the time. She did domestic duties as around the house including laundry and ironing. I did not require her to cook but she could make light meals for the child during the day. She was friendly and professional, always on time for work, honest and reliable, She is a trustworthy person. Her work ethics are great, I never had a problem with her during the time of employment. I relocated to another area and she could not continue working for me because of the distance and I believe she will be a great asset to a family that would hire her.
