My Summary

My Experience

Since the last time I updated my profile I gained further childcare experience working closely to toddlers and not only.
This year,2022 gave me the chance to be around 8,10 or sometimes 20 under two years of age.
Mrs Hope from Hope Montessori Nursery School in Paddington, London offered me the unique opportunity to learn more about child development working five days a week full time in the baby room in her nursery school as a Montessori Nursery School Assistant.
The great working environment and the extraordinary setting made my work so easy and I enjoyed every minute of this awesome challenging experience.
I am looking forward to hearing children laughing again, create new bonds and help them rediscover the world through their eyes.
I am convinced it was a terrible 18 months for each one of us.
I am not sure if this matters in any degree but I am fully vaccinated.I took the decision to vaccinate against COVID-19 because I did not want to put in jeopardy the lives of my loved ones, especially of my grandmother's when I saw her. Hopefully I'll be able to see her soon. I felt really bad after first dose and the second wasn't better either. I respect anyone's decision cause I consider it is a personal choice.
There is nothing more special than seeing a smile on a child's face.
Though most 2020 was a difficult time for everyone I tried to remain in contact with Nayani's family and was possible to bring some joy to Viraj especially during the Christmas holidays.
Unfortunately these two special collaborative with these great families came to an unexpected end with the installment of the first lockdown.
Two weeks later I got to meet a second family of four who needed some help with dropping their youngest,Ali with a light spectrum of autism to school by bus.
A truly sweet boy.
On 2nd September same year through this app I was given the chance to meet a lovely family of three from Mill Hill,North London.My job consisted in collecting 8- year-old,Viraj from school every afternoon and return to the family home up until his mother Nayani returned from work.My duties included some housekeeping and ironing.

My new recent experience involving childcare took me abroad this February 2019.

I had a unique chance to join a lovely family from Leicester.They needed someone ungently to go with them to Málaga.They had to travel to Spain for work. There were three children:boy,10,girl 3 and the 5-month boy.I took care of this bundle of joy of 5-month.It was a true challenge looking after Keydan day and night but I enjoyed every minute.

Thanks to this opportunity I learned so many things about toddlers.I also found out that theething at such a young age it's not so unusual after all.

It was a truly lovely childcare experience.



I raised and witnessed the development of two amazing children, twins from the tender age of 10 months up until they were 4 and 1/2. I was fortunate enough work for this lovely family for more than three years and a half. I had a great time taking care of this exceptional pair, Sami and Orli. They will always hold a special place in my heart. After this first extraordinary au-pair/ nanny-housekeeper/mother's help experience I went on and took care of two lovely brothers: Joshie, 2 and 1/2 and Rafi, 4 and 1/2. I took care of them for nearly six months. This was sole charge live-in nanny-housekeeper job. It was a really rewarding and I enjoyed the entire time I spent with the kids.



In my 5-year experience, I babysat toddlers, 3-month-old being the youngest, 1-year olds,2-year olds, as well as older children (8 to 11-year olds). I have worked with well-known London agencies who provide child care opportunities. I worked with a separated parent, father of a 3-year Edie and 8-year old Archie for a short period. This summer I had an opportunity to cover someone for the summer for a 5-week summer holiday. I lovely family of five.The kids with great personalities: Freddie,11; Alex,10 and Benjamin,4-year-old.I mainly took care of the little one, Benjie, but I also was in charge of everything related to the household.

I own a DBS certificate that I requested this year.

I completed a programme training with London Care last year in order to work in domiciliary care in Westminster. I have worked with the elderly in the past and I liked it.

I think that working with children, offering guidance, sharing some of your experience and values, helping discover the world around them, helping shape a great personality, a caring, unique future human being is truly rewarding.

I am grateful for all the opportunities I had so far working with children and I look forward to new experiences and challenges. I strongly believe that children bring the best of ourselves and should be protected at any cost. After all, children are the future.
