About Me

Dear Family,

My name is Nicky, 30 years old and I am a graduate of the Technical Institute of Epirus, where I
studied Early Childhood Care and Education for 4 years. I obtained my Cambridge Proficiency
in English Diploma after a 9 year attendance at a private school for English and a maternity
nurse diploma in London.

Professionally, I have enjoyed working with children of all ages for the past ten years, as a
maternity nurse( for multiples, too!), a kindergarten teacher and a former nanny before, while
and after my 4-year studies in the field. I have excellent experience working with Royal and VIP
families of different cultures and travelling with their newborns, as well.

I immersed myself in childhood psychology and care. What I learned from my undergraduate
years is the importance of fostering a warm and inviting environment based on pre/postnatal
and pre-school psychology through an interaction between creativity/child-play and early
educational experiences. As a firm supporter of the Montessori theory, that is the most
valuable virtue I could offer on my behalf to your family.

Under my care, children have been introduced and settled into a routine, completed weaning
and potty-training, mastery of alphabetics and arithmetics, succumbing fears , adjusting
smoothly in new environments. Successfully prepare and pass entry exams-interviews for
eligible schools. Two of my most unique experiences, I would like to underline, is taking care of
my sister who was born when I was 14 and has been my sole charge for her first four years of
life, as well as being a maternity nurse for triplets before I enter the university!

As a character, I am highly responsible (I started babysitting when I was 9!), creative and very
passionate with what I do. I have been working with prematurely born babies, experiencing
severe reflux, tongue-tie and other medical issues and successfully managed to settle them
into a healthy routine. My greatest value is being highly empathetic, to which I attribute my
confidence and commitment with infants, as I do not consider myself working but creating and
investing!

I enjoy Arts and traveling, socializing, exploring new cultures and languages, and devoting a lot
of time in volunteering and sports (I’ve got strong sea-legs). My mother tongue is Greek and I
am highly fluent in English, however I could communicate in French, Italian and Spanish at
ease. I am looking for my next short or long-term commitment to provide guidance and support
I hope this gives you a tiny idea of who I am.

Kind regards,
Nicky
