Hi, I'm Daniella

It is genuinely difficult to put into words just how highly we think of Daniella.

Daniella has been part of our daughter Alana's life since she was only a few months old, right through to now, at two years old, and over that time she has become so much more to us than simply someone who helps care for her. She has become part of Alana's upbringing and, in many ways, part of our family.

We're incredibly protective parents, and inviting somebody new into our lives to look after our pride and joy was a huge deal for us. Daniella originally came to us through a recommendation from a friend, but it very quickly became obvious just how fortunate we had been to find her. From the very beginning, she gave us complete confidence.

She is exceptionally capable, experienced & completely 'on it', which we often say to each other. Her knowledge & understanding of children is obvious, and she has a huge amount of experience with children of different ages. But what makes Daniella so special goes far beyond experience or training. It is the way she is with Alana. She is completely present. She plays with her, talks to her, teaches her, encourages her curiosity & is constantly helping her learn and develop without it ever feeling forced. She brings so much energy, warmth & engagement to the time they spend together. There is never a sense that Alana is simply being “looked after”; Daniella is genuinely invested in her. And Alana absolutely adores her. There is such a lovely bond between them, built through years of trust, fun, consistency and genuine care. For us as parents, seeing how safe, happy & completely herself Alana is around Daniella has always been hugely reassuring.

Daniella is also someone with wonderful values & a very strong moral compass. She is kind, caring, thoughtful, dependable and incredibly trustworthy. We have also had the privilege of getting to know her own children, who are kind, bright, gentle, worldly & lovely young people. They all welcomed Alana so warmly whenever she has spent time with them, & we think they are a wonderful reflection of Daniella herself & the environment she creates around children.

There are very few people we would trust so completely with our daughter, and we do not say that lightly.

Daniella really is worth her weight in gold. Finding somebody who you can trust implicitly with your child, who your child loves so deeply, & who contributes so positively is incredibly rare. We feel extremely lucky that Daniella has been such an important part of Alana's first years.

We genuinely could not recommend her more highly. Any family fortunate enough to have Daniella looking after their children would be getting somebody very special.
