Anne is what I would describe as an ?Old School Nanny? by this I mean with Anne it?s all about the kids. Reading, singing, arts & crafts etc. She is a very caring lady. When Anne arrives, our children?s faces light up knowing that they are in for a really fun day. People like Anne are rare and should be recognised for their contributions to childcare. We have been lucky to have found Anne and cannot think of anyone more deserving for this award than her.

I would like to nominate Kim Cauvin for outstanding service. She is the most genuine, considerate, caring, responsible nanny that I have had the pleasure of caring for my children. She has very high standards and an amazing work ethic, she has always gone above and beyond doing other helpful duties and providing valuable insight into any concerns I might have, based on her observations. She certainly is an asset to your agency and I believe she is whole heatedly deserving of some recognition. I am pleased to have this opportunity to thank you (and her).

Nikki is like having a Mother to rely on, a Nana to love my child as I do and a midwife to answer all of my questions. Nikki loves with honesty. The smile that receives from my child is the smile he only shares with me and her. What Nikki does is far more than ?A job? what Nikki does for the children she cares for is far more than words can say.

Phyllis has been our nanny for our older child and now our second child. Both times she started when I was due to return to work. She has been such a support in the process of returning to work with both children and made it as smooth for both of us. She is very reassuring for my daughters and also for me, as we make this transition from maternity leave to work. Phyllis is fantastic with children of all ages and adapts her interaction and activities accordingly. She has such a caring style and thinks of stimulating activities that they love. Her skills as a nanny at caring, stimulating and settling excel. I feel very lucky to have had Phyllis with both daughters.

I wish to nominate our Nanny Kristen, again, this year for her outstanding service to our family. She has continued to be dedicated, courteous, professional, and above all, loving to my 2 children whom she has cared for over the past 6 years. This year she brought her baby along to our house each week and this has been a wonderful experience for my kids, to get to know the ins and outs of younger children. She will leave us next year when she has her second child and it will be like losing a member of our family.Please consider her highly recommended by us for recognition of her commitment to her role.

Alison is an outstanding and impressive candidate who has gone above and beyond her nanny duties in ensuring the children in her care get the stability, care and attention they require under difficult circumstances. With her warm and engaging nature, excellent organisation and communication skills Alison is a positive role model for two young girls who
are going through a difficult time in their lives. Without Alison's help the children's emotional and psychological well being would be severely impacted. I am grateful for Alison's care, intuition and attention to detail and think her work and her attitude to this family are exemplary.ÿ

I am hoping that final nominations for carer of the year haven't quite closed, as I would like to nominate Belinda for the award as she has been away this week on a well-deserved break. Belinda (or Be as we all call her) started with us earlier this year to help out with our twins who were eight weeks old at the time and she is still with us two days a week while I am at work. The twins and my husband and I just could not manage our lives without her...She is always right on time and always arrives with a bright happy smile and the first thing she does when she walks in the door is to pick up the babies and give them a kiss and a hug. I know when I am at work that the twins are not only cared for, but they are loved. Be sings to them and tells them stories and they have lots of adventures while out walking around the parks and streets near our home.Belinda is a joy to be around and even when she and her family went through a horrific family tragedy earlier this year, she came back to us after only a few days off and has been a wonderful support even through her own difficult times.We would like to say a huge thank you to Be and we hope that we let her know often how much she means to us and what a fantastic job she is doing. If anyone deserves the title "carer of the year" it is Belinda and she embodies the whole spirit of the word care.

I have recently started using your agency following the birth of my twins. I would like to say how impressed I have been with the service you have offered. From my initial phone call to the nanny provided, I cannot fault your agency. The receptionist I initially spoke with was so lovely and made the whole process of using your agency for the first time very reassuring. The nanny Sadia has been so fantastic with my girls, one of whom has a lot of ongoing medical issues. She is warm, caring and kind. I look forward to continue using your agency in the future.

Libby is an amazing carer, nurturer, educator and friend to our 3 children. She has an easy relationship with our youngest two who are at home during the day and devises new play experiences and outings based on their interest of the day! She has been a wonderful addition to our family and the children love her dearly (as do we!) We arrive home in the evening to happy, calm kids which is perfect.ÿ
