Martina was our au pair and started working with me in January 2016. During this time, she looked after my two children aged 5 and 4 and was responsible for getting them dressed in the morning, school drop offs and pick ups, preparing their meals, arranging playdates, managing their laundry / tidying up and their bath / bedtime routine. Martina is a very warm and caring au pair and I have always felt safe leaving my children with her. She adapted well to our family’s needs and very quickly fitted in. She also takes a lot of initiative in helping out around the house and often goes beyond what is expected of her. She is tidy and careful to clean up any mess that the kids make. She is also very flexible with respect to timing and has often stayed past her hours without complaint when I was late coming home. She has been a responsible and trustworthy addition to our family and it has been a pleasure having her stay with us.

Martina is very intelligent and reliable. She works for me three days a week, taking full care of my daughter who is one and a half. She takes her to playgroups, various activities and the park. She cooks her meals, puts her down for naps and basically does everything. Martina is very calm, affectionate and very diligent. She turns up early every day. She also speaks fluent Italian which makes a difference for us. I'd highly recommend her.
