About Me

I am a warm, caring, and friendly individual with over 10 years of childcare experience, working with children ranging from 2 months to 12 years old. I also bring 9 years of experience as a personal chef, which allows me to offer an extra level of support to busy families through healthy meal preparation and cooking assistance.

I have a strong background in Montessori education, having previously worked in a Montessori nursery. This experience has given me the skills to confidently care for multiple children at once while creating engaging, tailored activities based on each child’s individual interests and developmental needs.

I truly enjoy spending time with children and find that they are naturally drawn to me. I connect with them easily on a personal and understanding level, helping them feel comfortable, safe, and supported. I love encouraging creativity through arts and crafts, as well as exploring the outdoors and teaching children about nature.

I am 29, fit, and healthy, with a strong interest in nutrition and wellbeing. I bring lots of energy, positivity, and enthusiasm into my work with children. Having grown up with animals my whole life, I am very comfortable in households with pets of all kinds—from guinea pigs and reptiles to cats and dogs.

I am currently looking for predominantly morning roles to work around my existing private chef clients. However, I would be open to a full-time position for the right family.

In addition to childcare, I also offer private chef services. I currently cook for several families and would be happy to provide cooking or meal prep support alongside nannying, or as a standalone service if you already have childcare in place.

For more information, please feel free to get in contact with me—I’d love to hear from you!

My Experience

I worked as a teachers assistant in a Montessori nursery in South Africa before moving to London. 2016

And previously worked as a nanny for a few lovely families with children aging from newborn-10 years :) as well as being nursery temps in a couple nurseries around London while looking for a more permanent private nanny role.

I have 9 years experience working and caring for children.

I currently work as a personal chef for a few families (and a nanny ) as well as a breakfast chef in a hotel in London.

I was very impressed with Amber when I met her recently. She was very professional and communicated effectively. She has clear expertise in Montessori style child development and has wonderful ideas on how to engage and stimulate young people.

We interviewed Amber for our nanny job and although unfortunately she wasn't quite the right candidate for us (for the reason that we need a driver), she was really impressive and adults and children alike really warmed to her.
She was as her profile says easy to connect to and asked lots of very thoughtful and sensible questions about our kids, clearly taking the prospective role very seriously.
Amber has excellent written references and is clearly also an excellent cook who is genuinely interested in nutrition, which would be a massive bonus.
I'm sure she'll be a real asset to the next family she joins.
