My Summary
Maternity Nanny
About Me
Hi, I am Val , qualified Maternity Nanny trained with NEST ,who loves children of all ages ,with a soft spot for newborns. I love to look after very young babies and they are my passion .
Looking for temporary (up to 1 year)maternity nanny jobs .
Trilingual: Romanian , Russian , good English .
I am an experienced childcare worker hardworking and determined, with ability to cater to children individual needs by providing a warm ,safe and caring environment .
I relate well with young children and can build relationships with them easily. Being a mother myself ,I have learned a lot of things about nannying, which I believe the best nanny college will not teach you about .
I could describe myself as happy, positive ,punctual, reliable ,flexible, empathetic ,trustworthy and hardworking person ,always keen to learn new things .Great communications and interpersonal skills with a 'I can do attitude “.
It can be a very exciting time when a new baby is born, but also totally exhausting! If you need a bit of support and some time to catch up with some valuable sleep then I am able to stay overnight, and sort all your baby's needs.
This could be just one or two nights if that is all you require, but could also be weeks or months. I am here to support you with any issues that may arise and can also guide you towards a night-time routine if that is what you are looking for.
Please feel free to contact me with any other enquiries you may have.
Thanks for taking time to read .
Testimonial from my last family !
Testimonial
Our daughter was three and a half months when we decided we needed help, as both husband and I had to work. Valentina was the first candidate we have interviewed and to our complete happiness we realised there is no need to conduct more interviews. It was immediately made clear that Valentina’s true passion is to care for very small babies, the quality which we searched for.
Before the trial interview we were anxious as we felt that nobody can handle our daughter - she was going through a particularity unsettled period. Valentina was unfazed and confident. She managed to put our baby into the cot for a nap on the first day, which was something I could never do myself. We offered Valentina a part time job with us, but soon realised we want her to nanny our daughter full time.
Our baby girl was also fond of her caregiver, Valentina’s choices of games, and their cuddles. Not only a compassionate and attentive caregiver, Valentina is also knowledgeable about “all things baby”. On numerous occasions we relied on her education and experience and learnt a lot of things about taking care of our baby.
Other qualities I can highlight is her commitment to being on time, and her ability to adjust to the needs of the parents. She listened to our wishes and always responded in the most positive manner.
Valentina has stayed with us until our daughter turned one and started nursery. We were saddened that we had to say good-bye to this positive force in our life and promised ourselves to have more babies so that one day she can return to us!

Val is seriously a godsend. I had to go back to work 3 months after having our beautiful son as I work for a startup. My husband had a full-time job as well so we were in need of good help. We had initially hired a day nanny from an agency who we found out was lying about our newborn's whereabouts and we had to let her go and find a new nanny at last minute's notice. Needless to say, I was incredibly stressed trying to find a good nanny we could actually trust and who'd be loving and kind yet responsible and disciplined with our son. I interviewed a lot of nannies, and had a couple of night nannies from agencies prior to the day nanny mentioned above, and Val is the best one by a long mile. Still, I was worried because I've never used childcare.co.uk before and you just never know! But Val put all my worries at ease.
From day one, she was so genuinely loving and kind to our 3 month old. She is passionate about newborns and has done research on how much milk and sleep he needs, how to get him to nap enough throughout the day and to make sure he's getting the tummy time and outdoor exposure he needs to learn and grow. She sings to him and is constantly "on" with him. He absolutely adores her, and gives her a wide toothless grin whenever she arrives in the mornings. She also is consistently punctual, reliable and always take the initiative to get things done around the house, even without explicit instructions. She'd fold clothes, do laundry, do the dishes and keep herself busy whenever our son is napping. She even reads about newborns when she's resting - truly someone who loves her job. Our son is six months old now and has really thrived under val's care.
The job was only meant for three months long as my mother would be able to care for our son after that, and then we'd be moving to NY in a couple of months. However, because we love Val so much, we are offering her to still do part-time work after the three months is up until she finds another job (but before we move to NY). We are so sad to lose her and wish she'd come to NY with us. Any family would be so lucky to have her and we hope that we can find someone as great as her after our move.
All the best Val and hopefully one day if we move back to London and have another baby, we can get your help again. Thank you for everything!

Val is an absolute god send!! Though she was only with us for a short time my son was absolutely taken with her. She is very thorough and will ensure your child gets the best care and attention from reading, singing, cooking and nap time she's a real life Mary Poppins. I hope to use her again !! Thoroughly recommend Val

We are very sorry indeed to be losing Val. She has worked as our nanny for fifteen months and she has been completely reliable throughout: a rock for our family.
We have no hesitation in recommending Val to look after your children; our little boy adores her. Val is a hard worker, always punctual, efficient, cheerful and easy to work with. She is leaving us to work with newborns and we wish her all the very best.
