Testimonials

Maria was the most wonderful and perfect nanny for our little 7 month
old Ella. Without her we would not have had the amazing holiday we
had. It was an incredible treat for us to be so relaxed and
comfortable leaving Ella with Maria.  Her confidence was extremely
reassuring and her sweet and loving nature meant Ella had as happy a
holiday as we did.  We cannot wait to get back to Val d’Isere and will
definitely use Tina’s wonderfully run and relaible Jelly and Ice-Cream
again.

Thank you

We were delighted with Majka and the children really enjoyed their time with her which was the peace of mind we wanted. We have recommended you to our ski operator and will do to anyone else we know travelling with children to val or mallorca.

Everything was perfect. Ania was terrific with the baby, always in time, always in good mood, not stressed, nice and calm, respectful and responsible. Wonderful. Thanks again for everything: we had great holidays! Next year, I’m sure we will call you again. (maybe in February!)

Crystal worked as a nanny for me during the New Year week of 2006/2007 and during Easter of 2007. During that time she had sole care of my 2 year old son, all day, and also looked after my 5 year old daughter on a half day basis. Crystal also babysat for us from time to time.

I was delighted by the quality of care Crystal provided for Luca and Florence. They were clearly happy to be with her and she kept them happy and stimulated at all times. She was also quite firm with them when the need arose. I was particularly happy that Crystal was creative in finding different things to do with the children and was also very diligent in making sure that they were warm enough when outside and protected from the sun when it was sunny.

She was professional, prompt and always very happy to help out in any way she could. I can thoroughly recommend Crystal and would personally be very happy to use her again. My contact details are below should anyone require any further verbal references.

Kat & Hollie provided baby sitting services for my and my friends’ family for one week commencing 12th Feb. Collectively we had one 7 month old / one 3 year old / two 5 year olds and a 7 year old. Kat & Hollie were capable and attentive with the baby and energetic and fun with the older children for both indoor and outdoor activities and worked well with each other. They were responsive and attentive to our requirements and enthusiastic in all aspects of their duties. The children enjoyed their company and all the parents felt confident with respect to their attitude to safety and supervision.

I am writing on behalf of Katie who was our nanny during our week long stay at Val d’Isere. We had a wonderful family vacation mainly because we knew that our children were properly cared for. Katie was not only a delightful person; she was prompt, caring towards our three boys, and motivated. She would make sure that various activities were planned with our children and that they got out of the chalet. Katie also didn’t mind helping with the other children that were in our chalet. She was flexible, courteous and an enjoyable person to be around. We would highly recommend her!

My husband and I used Tina and her nanny services last year when we took our 3 children skiing in Val d’Isere. Our holiday was the best one yet, and all due to Tina and the people that she arranged to care for our children. She was prompt and organized in all her dealings with us, and she effortlessly made all the necessary arrangements to help us enjoy such a successful holiday.

Tina is an outgoing, bubbly person who keeps an eye on the detail. She has excellent follow through on whatever task she is working on and you don’t have to continue to check up on her to make sure that all the arrangements have been made. She is a pleasure to deal with and is always friendly and cheerful. Tina has a positive attitude towards life and work and she is very pro-active about getting things done. It was a pleasure to get to know her and we would certainly use the Jelly and Ice Cream nanny services again and have already recommended Tina to many of our friends.

I have had Lucy as a Nanny and Babysitter for four weeks in January and four weeks in April.  Bella, my daughter is now 11 months.

She is always prompt to arrive and sticks religiously to my routine with regards to Bella’s meal and sleep times.  I feel very confident leaving Lucy alone in the house with Bella as well as having her taking Bella out for walks, to the playground etc.  She always gives Bella 100% of her attention.  Bella loves Lucy, she is great fun and really imaginative and creative in finding ways to amuse and play with Bella.  Lucy never gets stressed or fazed if Bella ‘plays up’!

I would strongly recommend Lucy as a Nanny. If your client would like a verbal reference from me I would be happy to speak to her on my English mobile, 07768 725261.

Thanks again Tina!  Vikki and Tash were great and the kids loved them.  It was all perfect and I will use you again for all my Val Visits.

Happy New Year,

To whom it may concern:
This letter is to serve as a recommendation for Tina Eliades and her ‘nanny service’.

I first met Tina in Val d’ Isere when, at the last minute our babysitter was not able to travel with us. I had three young children at the time, and Wesley was not yet old enough to attend ski school. Tina’s name was given to me by the office of the company from which I was renting our chalet. I was hoping that Tina could watch, entertain, and feed by little guy while I enjoyed the beautiful slopes of Val.

Tina was everything and more I had hoped for. On first meeting she was very professional, dependable, and articulate and most importantly displayed a real love for children. We hired her immediately. She was to look after Wesley for the next 4 days remaining in our ski holiday. Wesley had a fabulous time, took immediately to Tina and never even noticed the rest of his family was gone. She took him up the bubble for lunch. She played for endless hours with him in the snow, building snowmen and sledging and even engaging in his rough and fun snow fights. She was courteous and very sensible about safety. For example, she insisted he wear his ski helmet when sledging. Tina surely saved the ski week!

The story does not end there. We continued to go back to Val for the next 2 subsequent ski seasons. Tina was always there to help us out. Not only did she watch Wesley but took fantastic care of our two older children when they were feeling poorly or were just too tired to ski. On one occasion we made a last minute trip to Val and Tina was booked, but she provided us with a very capable competent nanny that also took the children on adventures, even visiting a nearby farm.

It is with great pleasure that I highly recommend Tina or anyone she has employed (she has a good sense of character) as a nanny. Tina is bright, energetic, kind, and hardworking. She truly has a gift when it comes to looking after children. Should you need more information feel free to contact me via email at tgierkink@hotmail.com

Most sincerely,
