My Summary
After/Before School Care
About Me
Hello, my name is Sylwia. I’m a mum of two children and an experienced childcare professional with a CACHE Level 3 Diploma in Childcare and Development, Degree in Education, Paediatric First Aid, and a current DBS check.
I offer flexible childcare, including:
Before and after school care (Woodmansterne & Granton Schools).
Evenings and weekends
School holiday care,
Babysitting and ad-hoc care.
I have extensive experience with children aged from birth to 13 years, both as a nanny and an early years practitioner. I’m punctual, creative, and passionate about planning fun, age-appropriate activities.
As both a mum and an educator, I deeply understand child development and every child’s individual needs. I respect different parenting styles and always aim to support your family’s approach.
Children in my care enjoy a safe, stimulating, and happy environment where they can explore, learn, and grow at their own pace. I especially love outdoor play, nature walks, and helping children develop confidence, curiosity, and joy in learning.
I take safeguarding seriously and always follow best practices to ensure children’s well-being.
If you’re looking for reliable, caring, and flexible childcare, please feel free to get in touch — I’ll be happy to answer any questions.
Thank you
Sylwia

Sylwia is a fantastic childminder with lots of creative ideas. She has great selection of toys (educational and books). The children have access to the garden equiped with a selection of fun toys and activities. Sylwia makes sure the children have a healthy and nutritious afternoon snack. She is very professional but warm and fun at the same time - a set of qualities that are hard to resist for both kids and parents alike. I have no hesitation in reccommending Sylwia to any parent out there!

We can’t recommend Sylwia highly enough!
She’s been an exceptional nanny to our 2 children.
She’s kind, caring and always has great ideas for keeping the kids entertained. They absolutely love her.
We’re moving out of London and will miss her terribly.

Sylwia is such a kind and welcoming person who goes out of her way to make your child feel at ease. She does baking, arts and crafts, games and puzzles with my son in his after school sessions and he really enjoys his time with her. Would highly recommend her services!

Sylwia has been babysitting my 5 year old son and she is a big hit with him! She is very engaging and comes up with various activities to keep him occupied. My son can be stubborn at times but she has lots of patience and knows how to deal with these situations very well.
He loves spending time with her and always asks when she will be back for more play. She is super friendly, punctual, kind and I know that my son is in good hands when he is with her! Thanks Sylwia:)

Dear Eva , I appreciate your review. I am very happy that I can support you and your son in any way I can.
I am delightful to have the chance to thank Sylwia in public! She disserves it! I would like to tell other parents how responsible, funny, and respectful she is! Sylwia is the person who helped me with my first child by coming during the night, while my husband and I was working; now she helps me with my little 4-year-old boy and he loves her, never wanted to leave Sylwia's house. Also, her children make the atmosphere really warm, very welcoming and generous little people! Thank you to have you around, guys!

Dear Anna, thank you very much for your review. Appreciate a lot! It’s a pleasure to work with such a lovely families.
Sylvia helped me with my baby whilst I was recovering from shoulder surgery. She immediately puts children and parents at ease and got on really well with him and my 3 year old daughter. They love it when she comes to babysit. She is a great childminder, well qualified to back it up and a friendly lovely person.

Sylwia is our regular babysitter. She is everything we were looking for, she is reliable, prompt, a good communicator and so kind and good with our little boy. She is a lovely person and is obviously very experienced with childcare, so we have no worries when she is babysitting for us.

Thank you so much fot taking the time to leave me a review. Really appreciate. Only a pleasure to help you with your lovely son.
Sylwia looked after my 5 year old during the recent school holidays and it was just the best experience. My daughter can sometimes be unsure about new people but Sylwia made her feel happy and at ease right away. You can tell she is very experienced with children in her interactions. My daughter had the best time feeling safe care for and also having lots of fun! She was given home made wholesome food which she really enjoyed and plenty of different indoor and outdoor activities too. I couldn't recommend Sylwia more highly and I'm sure we will be using her services again very soon.
