What Mimi’s nominator had to say
“Mimi has been my nanny since I was 6 months old – that’s nearly 17 years now! She is the most generous and loving nanny in this world, and I don’t know what I would do without her. She never stops smiling!! Mimi currently looks after two families in a nanny share (5 children in total!) The age range is from 16 to 3! We are all one big happy family because of Mimi! I will never be able to comprehend how Mimi balances looking after 5 kids, ferrying the kids to and from each other’s houses – all whilst staying so positive! Over the pandemic, Mimi did not stop working, despite the circumstances. As all of our parents are key workers, Mimi stepped in for the role of teacher, nanny and parent – from online school to fun activities to distract us from the gloom of lockdown, Mimi kept our families sane, and we cannot thank her enough. There’s no nanny better than Mimi – I can’t put it into words how amazing she is! She has worked with so many families and still stays in touch with the children who are now having their own children! She even worked for one family for 28 years! Mimi is not just a nanny; she is the best nanny, and she deserves this award more than anyone.”
