I would like to recommend a great nanny in Sarajevo: Amra Kurtovic. Amra has been taking care of our twin boys since they were 6 weeks old and was a great help to us in these first months of sleepless nights. She provided lots of sensitive and practical advise on how to raise babies and twins in particular and how to put into place a routine for eating, sleeping, developing psycho-motric skills. She has tremendous experience working with international families with young children, infants and twins so it was really good for us as we were new parents. She stayed with the boys full time from age 3 months when I started working again and it was a great comfort to me to leave them so young in capable hands. She helped me so that I could continue nursing them for 8 months which meant a lot.
She is very active and full of energy, often sings and finds all sorts of games and educational activities. At the same time she is really serious and disciplined, taking care of baby clothes and making sure all the baby items and room is very clean and in order. She has a nurse degree so it was reassuring to us knowing that she could provide first aid if necessary and that she was able to provide some medical advice. She connected us with doctors in town and arranged all the necessary appointments.
Amra speaks excellent English and is native Bosnian. She is now looking for a part time job as our kids are attending kindergarten. You can contact her by phone: +387 61929419 or email:kurtovic_amra@yahoo.com
