Sierra was absolutely fantastic and the first person i’ve trusted to completely look after our 1 year old. She is calm, smiley, positive and nothing was too much trouble for her. We wanted to bring her home
Feedback from winter 2023/24
Sierra was fantastic, so reassuring and great at keeping us updated while looking after our 5 month old
FEEDBACK WINTER 2024/25
“We had Filipa and Sierra for 1 week in Méribel. They looked after two 3 year olds and two 19 month olds. They were both excellent and the kids loved all their activities and time spent with them. It made our time skiing more enjoyable knowing the children are well looked after. The use of Méribel Nanny’s toys, books and pushchairs during our stay was also a great bonus. We would definitely use them again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. Thank you Sierra and Filipa!”

“Sierra was the most wonderful nanny. Our daughter Lily (10 months) adored her immediately and she was so easy to communicate with. We loved that she took Lily on little walks and meet ups with other Nannie’s around Meribel. Sierra also looked after our older children one evening and made our whole holiday so much easier and more relaxed. Would recommend her in a heartbeat!”

“Sierra was so lovely and energetic to be around! She was amazing at looking after our 9 week old daughter and even went out her way to engage and entertain our older daughter too when she was around which she didn’t need to do! I would recommend her anyone. Thank you Sierra!”

“Our 2.5 year old son had a fun filled and happy couple of days with Sierra in Courchevel. Sierra was always on time and with a happy, energetic demeanour. She did many activities with our son and took him out to play in the snow and see the horses which he loved. Highly recommend Sierra !”

“Sierra was the best thing to happen to us on our holiday! We were nervous about leaving our 9month old as we hadn’t left her for more than a couple of hours before, but Sierra filled us with absolute confidence from the first moment we met (actually even before we even met with our contact on WhatsApp!). We felt so secure that she would take treat care of her, she understood her feeding and sleeping needs, and how to give her expressed milk and understanding baby led weaning, it all made us feel so relaxed. One standout moment, which really shows how great Sierra is at understanding children’s complex needs was when she recognised that our toddler wasn’t feeling the activity she had planned and instead changed the plans, recognised what she needed and took her for some quiet time instead. We loved that because it really showed great empathy and understanding of our toddlers big feelings and unique needs. We would book Sierra again in a heartbeat, we can’t think of anything that could have been better, she was just perfect. I’m sure our toddler will talk about “her favourite nanny Sierra” for a long time to come. We also really appreciated Sierra making a little intro video that we could play for our daughter before we arrived, as she can be cautious around new people and it helped her feel like she knew Sierra before we even got there and made the transition just so easy for us. Honestly we don’t have enough words to describe it, but having Sierra made our holiday incredible! Thank you so much!”

“Sierra was brilliant with my baby and toddler, she absolutely made our holiday. I can’t thank her enough for the care she took. I also appreciated her going above and beyond with the amazing crafts! Also; the fact that she got them outside. Brilliant job!”
