She did Nanny for me and doing the job really well, always being very kind with my daughter and attention. I would recommend Alina as a excellent childcare.
Iliana P.
Alina worked as a live-in nanny to my daughter from July 2015 to June 2016. The first couple of months she lived with my mother at the Bulgarian seaside where my daughter spent the summer. From September 2015 Alina lived with me and my daughter in London. Alina is a very professional person who has a very good approach towards toddlers. She built a very good routine with my daughter and created a very loving environment around her. I could see that my daughter is happy and became very attached to Alina. Alina has many professional qualification for working with children and was very helpful when my daughter was ill or had any more serious issues. She used her free time to learn and improve her English. Kind regards, Iliana Paskova
Mr Lubomir V.
Alina was a great help in the months after our second child was born. She is highly qualified professional and has proved to love her job. In a very short time she built a strong empathic connection with our baby. We were happy with her help and our baby loved her. I recommend her with confidence and gratitude.
Boyka A.
I have employed Alina as a babysitter to my 2 year old boy. I really appreciate her service - she was always punctual and reliable, and looked after my boy with great care and affection. She is also a very pleasant person to be around - always considered and polite, always finding a good word to say to busy and overworked parents like myself and my husband. I have also found her as a great moral support as she certainly possesses a wealth of experience looking after children. She has helped me with my parenting skills when I was looking for guidance, and has made me a more effective and confident parent (my son is my first child, so at times I felt insecure). Alina's care for my son was characterised by an amazing adherence to firm boundaries that she implemented skillfully and gently. I believe my son became more confident as a result as she helped establish and maintain a more appropriate and effective routine for him. She also knows many kid's songs and games and is incredibly imaginative at engaging him attention and creating fun activities for him. I wholeheartedly recommend Alina as a child carer - you can be sure that your child(-ren) are in safe hands with her and receive a high quality care, both physically and psychologically.
