About Me

Hi,
My name is Andrea and I’m originally from Slovakia , where I worked as a midwife. I have lived in London for past 16 years. After being a nanny for many years I decided to become a childminder as I am a single mum to Enzo (born in Sep 2019). He has been coming to work with me since he was 11 days old so he is pretty used to other kids and he loves them as much as I do.

I’m very friendly , vibrant and fun woman with lots of energy. I Love being outdoors as much as possible and explore ( messy kids =happy kids ). I’m National trust member so I’m very aware of national trails and activities . Outings to local places of interest, structured activities at home, no TV but singing and books, and lots of fun and laughter!

Every day, I offer morning snack , lunch, a snack mid-afternoon, and a full dinner (aiming to finish dinner around 5.30pm). Healthy food is an absolute priority for me, and I never use any processed or ready-made dishes. We even make our own sourdough bread! I cook everything from scratch, with plenty of fruit and veg for happy, healthy children. We grow some vegetable in our garden and I like children to get involved too.


What I can offer :
- Delicious, healthy home made food
- Regularly baking with Children in order to enhance their learning experiences
- Indoor and Outdoor play that takes place in our garden designed for different activities or local parks ( we have sandpit, water play , swing, trampoline, Wendy house and much more)
- Regular outings to locations such as the park, library, fire station, farm etc
- Messy play, sensory play
- Toddler / music groups
- Lots of picnics In summer
- Trips to science museum, history museum etc
- I decided to offer government founded childcare ( you will need to have your code ready before start)

I am available from Monday to Friday .My doors are open from 8 until 6 ( but if you need earlier drop off and late /early pick up I’m very flexible).

I’m based in Gipsy hill/Crystal palace 7 minutes walk from Gipsy hill station and 2 minutes from triangle.
On my street there is an easy parking for you to drop off/pick up your children.

I will take 6 weeks of holidays ( 4 weeks paid and 2 weeks unpaid - number of days per week x 50 ( not 52) \ 12 months - so you will pay same amount every months .
My holidays will usually be -
2 weeks during Christmas
1 week during Easter
3 weeks in july/August.


If you have any enquires, feel free to call or email me, I'll be happy to answer your questions.
Many Thanks,
Andrea

Andrea has been looking after my son Khai many times, she is super creative, fun and dedicated to child's development. My son has always great time with her, he loves spending time outdoors which fits so well with Andrea's views - visits to parks, day trips. And her home cooked food is soo delicious! I'm always at ease when Khai is with her, she sends updates about their day, what they got up to. Highly recommend her and really happy to have found her!
