About Me

Dear Parents and Little Ones,

Are you looking for a Super Modern Mary Poppins, a fun and educationally focused professional who is a highly experienced and qualified private nanny/ Early Years Educator/ great cook in one person? Who has almost 12 years of experience in educating, caring for, and cooking nutritious meals for children from age 6 months to 14 years? Moreover, who has worked with multiple babies and preschoolers, not just at private families but in nurseries as well?

If the answer is yes, please continue to read.

Alongside my expertise and practice in Early Childhood Education, I am also passionate about my career. I have been continuously extending my knowledge to provide exceptional service for families, and nothing proves this better than the great references from my previous employers.
My most recent employer described me as:
"An absolute blessing to our family, providing top-notch care for our baby for over one year. Her warmth, kindness, patience, and dedication are truly exceptional. She is highly energetic and comes with a wealth of knowledge and experience in childcare. She creates a warm and nurturing environment, making our little ones feel safe, loved, and cheerful. She has evolved from a caregiver to a trusted companion and a loving presence in our babies and our lives. Our child adores her, and she is a constant source of comfort, security, and joy for her. Her reliability, flexibility, and excellent communication skills have been invaluable to us. Sandy had helped shape our child into a loving, compassionate, and cheerful little human. We feel so grateful to have her in our lives and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate nanny."

Besides, my mission is to guide and support children to become happy, healthy, emotionally and physically secure, well-balanced, independent, confident, and knowledgeable adults with a positive self-image and mature emotional and social intelligence. For me, it is a pleasure to work in a strong and honest partnership with the parents and feed the little ones curiosity, stimulating their learning and supporting them to thrive.
In a nutshell, my approaches towards childcare and teaching are rooted in social constructivist pedagogical philosophies such as Reggio Emilia, Froebel and Montessori, and Vygotsky, as well as Bowlby. Highlighting the importance of positive relationships, children's agency, and child-centred and led learning through play, as well as promoting outdoor learning.
Along with my strong focus on emotional and educational support, I also enjoy cooking for the families I work with. Over the years, I have prepared a diverse range of meals that cater to different cuisines, dietary requirements, and age groups — from homemade Italian Lasagna, Greek moussaka, and Indian Dhal to Eastern European Goulash and healthy homemade treats. Cooking also provides an opportunity for children to explore food creatively, so I often involve them in meal preparation as part of our activities.

As for my personality, I am, proactive, fun, creative, organised, creative and tidy person who enjoys exercising and exploring new places as well as learn new things, reading and watching horror movies.
I also love looking after pets, too. I have a Frenchie myself, too, in Hungary.

I find joy in planning and taking children to outings, as I think they need to be as much as they can in nature also explore the world around them. For these lovely programs, I also hold a taste card and a free kids' pass card, meaning children under my care can enjoy certain outings for a discounted price.

Currently, my plan is to move back to London soon to be even closer to my best friend who works there as a nanny and SEN teacher, too. I was honoured to work for and live with different families in London. I was living in London for more than five years as a live-in nanny, so I am familiar with most of the opportunities it can give to children to widen their understanding of their world.

I am looking for a family where I can be an active member of your team in supporting your little ones to reach their full potential. Also, where I am treated as a member of your family, as for me, it is crucial to create and maintain a positive relationship with those I live with and work for. I would like to find a live-in nanny position in London. A lovely family who could provide me with at least 40 hours or a maximum of 50 hours of work a week, and who can employ me by using a payroll service.

Thank you so much for spending time to learn more about me.

If you are interested, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Best Wishes
Sandy
