About Me
Hello parents!
I’m a warm, energetic nanny based in South East London, where I was born and raised. Knowing the area so well means I love making the most of local parks, museums, playgroups, and family-friendly spots, and I really enjoy being part of the local childcare community.
I have a playful, hands-on approach and genuinely love being involved in children’s day to day lives ... whether that’s singing, dancing, arts and crafts, imaginative games, or creating funny voices whilst reading. I’m comfortable being silly and fun whilst also providing calm guidance, clear boundaries, and a strong focus on kindness, manners, and emotional awareness.
I’m a big believer in fresh air, movement, and enriching experiences, balanced with calm, screen-free time at home whilst I'm getting on with bits. I love planning thoughtful outings and seasonal adventures and enjoy capturing special moments through photography to share with families.
Growing up with a mum who is a foster carer shaped my values around patience, empathy, stability, and consistency, and these guide the way I care for children today. I work best in roles built on trust, open communication, and mutual respect, and I genuinely enjoy becoming a steady, positive presence in a family’s life.
If you’re looking for a nurturing, down to earth nanny who brings warmth, energy, and genuine care to your home to help everything run smoothly, I’d love to hear from you!
My Experience

My Availability
I am available for 3–5 days per week, as my current main family will be relocating internationally in March, which is why I am now seeking my next role. I value longevity, stability, and consistency for the children.
I am open to temporary or fixed-term positions where the fit feels right. Whether short- or long-term, I aim to become a trusted and positive presence within the family.
I am happiest in sole-charge roles, though I am equally comfortable with shared care or nanny-share arrangements. Alongside childcare, I’m happy to support with child-related household tasks such as laundry, batch cooking, dog walking, food shopping, and organisation... particularly in roles where there is flexibility and a balanced, give-and-take working relationship. Children always remain my priority, and any additional support is offered thoughtfully and when time allows.
