My Summary
About Me
Hello,
My name is Karina, and I am a caring and experienced childcare professional with over 14 years of experience working with children of all ages. I have worked as a nanny, Pre-School Teacher, Nursery Manager, and also owned a play café in Staines for several years.
I truly love working with children and supporting their development through play, creativity, and positive routines. I am warm, patient, reliable, and naturally nurturing. As a mum to a five-year-old daughter, I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident and comfortable with the person caring for their child.
I am currently looking for a part-time nanny position where I can provide a safe, happy, and supportive environment for your little ones.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Karina
My Experience
I have over 14 years of professional childcare experience working with children from babies to primary school age. My background includes nannying, working as a Pre-School Teacher, managing a nursery setting, and owning and running a play café for 4.5 years ( Busy Bs )
As a nanny, I have supported families with daily routines, school runs, meal preparation, creative play, outdoor activities, and bedtime routines. I focus on creating a calm, nurturing environment where children feel safe, happy, and confident.
In my nursery and teaching roles, I worked closely with the EYFS framework, planning age-appropriate activities to support children’s social, emotional, and educational development. As a Nursery Manager, I led a team of staff, ensured safeguarding and health and safety standards were met, and built strong relationships with parents.
Most recently, as the owner of a children’s play café, I created a welcoming and safe space for families, organised children’s parties and events, and managed all aspects of the business.
I am a warm, patient, and reliable person who genuinely enjoys helping children grow and thrive.
