About Me

I am an enthusiastic and empathetic childcare professional. I have been working with children for ten years- first as a nursery teacher, then a nanny, and now also as a therapist for children and young people. I have experience with children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. I enjoy cooking and can cook healthy meals for whole families.
I love working with children because I appreciate how they think, enjoy helping them through difficult situations and care about supporting them to be compassionate and resilient.

My Experience

I am booked for work now, thanks for your interest!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Previous work:

I have finished my work with a lovely family in Penge. I cared for their two children, a 5 year old and a 14 month old, and a dog! I took the eldest to and from school and baby, doggy and I explore the world together. I cooked two meals a day, lunch for the baby and supper for both children. During his nap I prepared the evening meal and did light child related housework, including washing his cloth nappies as part of the children’s laundry.

I worked in Half Moon Montessori Nursery from 2013 to 2015. I was a nursery teacher in a classroom of 24 children, which included children with special needs. My duties included being personally responsible for the progress of a third of the children in the classroom; planning and organising creative activities; and helping to keep the children (aged 1-3 years) stimulated, happy and learning.

I left the nursery so that I could go into family childcare full-time. I have worked with children from new born to 10 years old, and helped them with homework, bathtime, meals, after school collection, etc, and I have been both solely responsible for children and worked alongside parents.

From April 2017 till May 2018 I worked in Roof Top Nursery, a brilliant nursery in Hackney. I had to take a break from work in May 2018 due to breaking my elbow. In August 2018 I started nannying part time to make room for my child counselling training.

I worked with a family in Enfield, looking after their wonderful 2 year old. I worked with them for almost 3 years, from September 2018 to December 2020.

I then worked with a family in Blackheath. I cared for their two children who were 1 and 4 when I started. We worked together for almost 2 years, from October 2020 to August 2022.

To say Rho became part of the family would be an understatement. From the first day she created strong, meaningful relationships with both our children. She knows them both so well, as individuals, she understands them and works so hard at understanding them. She is creative, adventurous, and hardworking. She cares about the things that really matter: play, community, openness, security, exploration and fun! And her food is amazing--she introduced us to tons of great dishes. She is massively insightful about child development and psychology and chatting to her about these topics is a joy. We just love her!!

Rho has been a fantastic nanny to our two children (5 and 2 years old). It was our first time employing a nanny and we feel very lucky to have found her. The kids love her - she is on their wavelength and is great at keeping them entertained. She’s obviously passionate about children and really cares about their development. She is also great fitting around our busy family life and cooks lovely healthy food. Our dog loves her too. All in all, we would not hesitate to recommend Rho and are happy to chat to any families considering employing her!
