About Me

Hi! I am a 34 year old girl from Spain. I am an experienced nanny with over 15 years of experience. I am a very committed , patient and reliable person who loves spending valuable time with children as I love their company. I am very adventurous too so I like going on outings, trips, exploring parks, libraries, cinema etc. I have worked in a couple of nurseries in different rooms (baby room, 12-18 months and 2-3 years old). Occasionally, due to lack of staff, I covered the preschool age group. On top of that, I worked as au au pair for 2 years.

Please feel free to read through the references written by parents who I have worked with and do not hesitate to ask any questions.

I am a qualified teacher(QTS) too at Infant, Primary and Secondary levels. Happy to teach some Spanish too.

My Experience

Punctual and reliable. Did a great job looking after our two year old daughter and quickly building a rapport. Really made an effort to get to her level and engage coming up with fun games. Would recommend.

Karla helped me last minute with my baby girl. As she was busy, first tried to find someone else to babysit my baby, however, as the other person could make it because she was sick, she offered her help.

Great communication, she kept on sending me photos and telling me how she was doing.

Karla was great with my baby. It was the first time my she was with out her mom and had to drink milk from a bottle. Nevertheless, my baby was very happy with her.

Karla is very kind, confident, and flexible. My 4-year-old daughter and her friend, who were both looked after by Karla at the same time, really liked her. I highly recommend Karla if you need childcare.

Karla came and looked after our lively 3 year old for 4 hours. He warmed to her straight away and was very happy. She read with him and played with him and he was very well-entertained. We hope to have her babysit again!

Karla has been our lively three year old’s nanny for 2 years. She has been fantastic and we are only sorry that now is the time for our son to go to full time preschool nursery so we no longer need full time childcare. We are very sorry to lose her as she is caring, responsible, fun, active, dedicated and lovely to have around the house. Our son loves her very much and our older children (12 and 15!) have enjoyed having her support too. She also teaches and guides through play and imaginary games so our son is very engaged. Highly recommended.
