Testimonials
There is nothing better than hearing directly from clients about what it is like to work with someone, that’s why I asked a few to give me some video and written testimonials. All of them are genuine clients who would be happy to speak with you about their time with me

"I genuinely couldn't say enough good things about Ida, From day one she was amazing, taking the time to really connect with our son (20 months old) so that he was comfortable with her. As any parent visiting a foreign country I was a bit nervous leaving my child with what was effectively a stranger, however after speaking to some other families who had worked with her and then meeting her in person I felt totally at ease and I knew my son was in safe hands. It really meant that we could totally relax on holiday"

"Ida looked after our baby son full time on our extended trip to Bali and I can honestly say she was the best nanny he has ever Ida is very professional - always early, always prepared with sun cream and mosquito repellant and very flexible, even when we were staying over an hour away from where she lives. Ida has a deep knowledge and understanding of babies developmentally so was able to help us navigate teething, illness and initiated baby signing. Ida is an all round capable and competent person and we knew if there were any problems she would use her initiative to act appropriately - it took us very little time to put our trust in her. My favourite thing about Ida is how devoted she is. Every single time I would look over at her with my son Ida was fully engaged in what she was doing. Always playing and laughing, she never looked bored or as if she wanted to be anywhere other than with our son. We quickly warmed to Ida and she felt part of our family. A five star review from me and no hesitation in recommending Ida."

"After Ida replied to a post of mine in search of a nanny for our travels in Bali, it was clear from her experience and references that she would be ideal for the job. It turned out that Ida was better than I could have imagined. She is incredibly trustworthy and confident, taking my son to different play groups and activities. She is more than capable of dealing with the wild emotions of our toddler as well as judging when he is hungry or tired. Ida covered all aspects of the day happily and was always full energy even after a long day. Ida is everything you would want from a nanny. Kind, discreet, loving, great English and 100 percent trustworthy."

"Unfortunately we are moving away from Ubud and have to leave our amazing nanny, Ida. She has been taking care of our two daughters (1.5 and 5 years old) for the past 2 months. This included: picking them up from school, independently planning and executing excursions, buying groceries and cooking food, putting them to bed and even potty training for the little one. We couldn't be happier with Ida. She was the best support we could have imagined. She is not only energetic but incredibly wrm and caring. She always gave us immediate feedback when there was a situation or behaviours where she had to intervene pedagogically."

"We were in Bali for 6 weeks and Ida was with our family the whole time, looking after our son (8 months old when we got there) along with the 18 month old son of our friends we were traveling with. Ida was so amazing with both of them and a real joy to have around. She was genuinely engaged with the boys with so much enthusiasm and energy! She always carried through on doing things the way we asked her to and was completely trustworthy and capable. I wish we could find someone as good as her at home in London. We couldn’t recommend her more highly."

Ida cared for our toddler Rosie (almost 2) whilst we were on an extended working trip to Bali. We were nervous about childcare before we arrived, but felt so at ease with Ida from the very first day, when it was clear how wonderful she is with children. Being almost 2, Rosie is VERY busy and Ida kept her beautifully entertained whilst we did an 8–9-hour work day, keeping to Rosie's routine, cooking her lovely healthy meals, and being very engaged, energetic and caring at all times. We got photo updates during the day (which we loved) and Rosie very quickly seemed very happy and content in Ida's company. So much so that we even went out for dinner a couple of times (for the first time since we've had a baby!) as we knew Rosie would be happy doing her bedtime routine with Ida. That was a lovely treat. Anything we mentioned to Ida - such as Rosie's passion for singing and dancing, Ida took on board... they spent many hours singing nursery rhymes together! If you're thinking about booking Ida, don't hesitate. She was always early, well prepared, and we had no worries at all when Rosie was with her, which made our lives so much easier when it came to working. Ida was genuinely caring and so kind to our little girl. We were just sad to have to say goodbye (and plan to return and hopefully have Ida look after Rosie again!)

Had the pleasure to have Ida as our families Nanny for 6 days straight whilst staying in Seminyak. Ida was so caring, punctual, professional, happy and fun ! She stayed with our 3 kids ages 4,4 & 1 in our resort and helped around the pool, kids club, feeding and entertaining the kids whilst us parents enjoyed me time ! Ida was super flexible and accompanied us to Waterbomb, Mrs Sippy and Bali Safari Zoo. Having that extra care and extra support was amazing. Kids loved her from the moment they met. Thank you Ida !! See you next time 😍

We were in Bali for 7 weeks in May and June. Ida watched the kids for a few hours in the mornings. She is so kind with them. With the baby she went swimming, sang to him, made him giggle and fed him. With my big son she played card games and games in the pool. Her English is really good so there was excellent communication. I can highly recommend her as a nanny. Your children are in good hands.

A friend of ours referred us to Ida for to look after my 1 and 3 year old. We also received recommendations from other mums in my mums group. My son and daughter absolutely loved her. She is warm, caring, lots of fun and great at keeping the children busy. She is also very aware of their safety, and ensures their needs are met. She cooked for our son and daughter, kept the kitchen clean and made sure they both ate healthy fresh food. Ida is also flexible in her approach nannying and is happy to stick to routines or adjust it if that’s what we needed. My son isn’t the easiest baby to put down for a sleep but Ida was patient and gently reinforced our sleep training while making him safe and secure. Ida even taught me a thing or two about looking after children in Bali! I would definitely recommend her to any family seeking a relaxing holiday in Bali.
