About Me

Hello All,

My name is Timnit , I am originally from Eritrea, but I was born and grew up in Italy.
I am a Mum of three gorgeous girls .
I am 36 years of age, responsible and mature especially when it comes to take care of vulnerable little and adults people.
i'm an experienced warm,nanny/carer who is firm but fair.
I have been looking after babies and children for more than 10 years .
I find looking after children quite rewarding, and I feel really privileged to have been involved in the education and development of the children I have worked with so far.
-I can follow the routine that has been set out from the family/and collaborate to create one.
-I cook to a reasonable standard for the child/children
-I am a person who enjoys being outdoors in all kinds of weather , doing different activities,
who is motivated
who can work under own initiative.

I am passionate about working with children, helping them develop and exploring their world through play. I have worked with children from early age to 10 years old for the past 10 years as a full/part-time nanny with own child, sole charge and mother's help.

I believe that it is important to implement the routine that each family prefers but I bring to that routine my own love of playing games and encouraging children to be imaginative and to have fun.
I understand the need to be 100% reliable and punctual and of maintaining great communication with the parents whilst their children are in my care.


Therefore i have a DBS CHECK registered on the updated service.

NOT CURRENTLY OFSTED REGISTERED- Happy to become if family requires/wishes

My Experience

Experience:

Oct 2024 - Jan 2025
Part-time role: Nanny to a 4 months boy -Hackney wick
Duties include: sole responsibility for the child; organising and delivering a daily schedule to include preparation of and feeding all meals, indoor play, local activity, nap times.
Jan 2024 - July 2024
Advisor and Elderly Project Worker - Eritrean Community in UK (ECUK), Islington, London
April 2023 - December 2023
Volunteer Advisor and Elderly Project Worker - ECUK, Islington, London
~Advice & Information – 1-1 appointments with the elderly to provide advice on health, benefits, pensions, debt and any financial issues. I’ll signpost them to the correct information and assist in booking the necessary appointments, completing application forms on their behalf, and translating.
~ Developing and managing health, social and cultural activity programmes for the elderly to introduce them to activities they may not easily have access to or may be excluded from.
~ Monthly or bi-monthly awareness raising workshops and events arranged and delivered with a health focus e.g. workshops addressing healthy eating, how to budget for food shopping, menu planning, how to develop a healthy lifestyle etc.
~ Provide informal cultural appropriate advice/ counselling where necessary
~ Liaise between clients and external agencies to achieve services/support best
~ Use IT for statistical and record-keeping and document, and prepare periodic report
In addition to working with the elderly, I work directly with diverse groups of families who come seeking advice around various issues including:
~ Homelessness - I help signpost them to the necessary information, and as a result of what they choose to do and their circumstances, I direct them to the council, help them apply for housing and guide them to where they can apply for food vouchers.
~ Family interrelationship issues - Mediating between adults to help them resolve the issues within their relationship and help them understand the cultural and social differences in the UK relating to raising children. The goal is to mitigate any risks that could result in the children being taken away from their home.

~ General life admin - Majority of the families I work with have recently immigrated to the UK so they struggle to understand the day to day life admin. For example, I help them understand any bills they receive, any grants they are eligible to apply for, translating government documents.
~ Help the families plan any activities for their children during half term.
April 2023 - July 2023
Refugee Support - Casework Volunteer, British Red Cross, London
Part-time role and the duties include:
~ Providing administrative and operational support functions to the Refugee Support team in

their mental health and self harming, and I act as appropriate. .

In this role, I was working alongside the children’s grandmother and supporting her with the duties. This included organising and delivering a daily schedule to include preparation of and feeding all meal, preparing lunch,
Achievements: One of the goals in this role was to align the schedule of the two girls because the grandmother struggled to handle the two routines that the children were used to in their own families and nursery. By the end of my position, they had a set routine and the grandmother was more equipped in maintaining the routine.

Jan 2019 - June 2019 - A young family of two adults and twin children
~ I helped the family register with the GP, arranging doctor/dentist appointments, arranging the immunisation of the children.
~ Taking the family to the local library and identifying different activities for the children.
~ Providing advice and guidance on coping as a first time parent and child development June 2020 Sept 2020 - A single mum with twins
~ The mum had language barriers (Eritrean nationality) and so I helped her with resolving issues with the council, attending important meetings to help translate conversations, and applying for grants to help with the costs of house appliances.

Timnit has been the most amazing nanny to our son. She has looked after him from when he was eight months old to one year, taking him for two mornings a week. She is incredibly experienced and professional, as well as punctual, flexible, and so kind, attentive and generous. Our son bonded with her so fast and loves his time with her. They go out to play groups and so many fun activities. I have seen how he has become more confident socialising with other children and being around new people under her calm and gentle care. Timnit has also helped us with meal times, sleep and successfully getting our son onto a one nap schedule. We love her approach of teamwork with us, as parents. She is communicative and regularly shares updates of what our son is getting up to. Timnit goes above and beyond, for example coming to the doctor with me when our son was ill and helping me ask all the right questions. She has provided invaluable warmth and support over the past months, I can’t recommend her highly enough. We will miss her hugely now our son is at nursery.

We’ve been so lucky to have Timnit as our babysitter for our 6-month-old son. She’s incredibly trustworthy, punctual, and attentive — everything you’d hope for when leaving your child in someone else’s care. Timnit plays so well with our son, takes wonderful care of him, and often takes him out for walks, which he loves. She’s friendly, calm, and clearly has a natural way with babies. We HIGHLY recommend her to any family looking for dependable, loving childcare.
