My Summary
About Me
Dear Families,
I’m a warm, caring and experienced nanny based in Kenilworth, Warwickshire. I genuinely love working with children and enjoy building positive, trusting relationships with both children and their families.
I would describe myself as enthusiastic, creative, outgoing and approachable, with excellent communication skills. I love spending time outdoors and keeping active, as well as enjoying arts and crafts, board games, puzzles, reading, baking and trying new activities. I also enjoy sports, exploring new places and finding fun and creative ways to keep children of all ages engaged. I’m a non-smoker, an animal lover and enjoy travelling and experiencing different cultures.
I’m passionate about creating a happy, fun and supportive environment where children feel safe, valued and confident, while being encouraged to learn, develop and explore the world around them.
My Experience
I have over 13 years’ experience working with children in a variety of childcare and educational settings, including over five years’ experience as a nanny, with extensive sole-charge experience.
I genuinely love being a nanny and find it incredibly rewarding to build close, trusting relationships with children and become a valued part of their family. I enjoy creating fun, engaging and age-appropriate activities, supporting children’s development, organising outings, helping with routines and homework, preparing nutritious meals and encouraging healthy eating habits, good table manners and a positive relationship with food. I enjoy working closely with parents to establish and maintain positive, consistent routines that support each child's individual needs and development.
I have a strong knowledge of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), the National Curriculum and early childhood development, with experience supporting children of all ages in nursery and primary school settings, both in the UK and internationally. Throughout my career, I have worked with a variety of families, including bilingual and multilingual households, adapting to different family dynamics, routines and cultural backgrounds. I have also gained valuable international experience through volunteering abroad, teaching English and working with animals. Having travelled extensively myself, I would also be very happy to travel with a family as part of my role.
Alongside nannying, I have worked as an Early Years Practitioner, Teaching Assistant, sports coach and swimming teacher, giving me a broad range of childcare, educational and practical experience. I am now looking forward to finding another family where I can build a long-term relationship and provide caring, reliable and nurturing support.
Please feel free to get in touch if you think I could be a good fit for your family. I would love to hear from you.

We were lucky to have Alex come in, (on very short notice too!) and she was great with my six month old baby. They would play, babble and it was reassuring to see how aware she was of his stranger anxiety and how calmly she handled that.

Alex is a wonderful nanny. She has been with our daughter for the past nine months, since our daughter was 1.5. She is creative, setting up many games. Yesterday, our daughter was the Stuffed Animal Veterinarian; the day before she was a Travel Agent and Suitcase Specialist. There's plenty of water play, play-dough, going to the park, library, playground. Our daughter is always excited to be with her, and is always engaged and happy.
Alex is caring, offering emotional support and stability; but also a good educator. She manages our daughter's schedule (feeding, sleeping, playing, potty) while fostering her independence with initiatives teaching her to get dressed and use the potty. We are impressed with how much English our (trilingual) daughter now speaks, due to her interaction with Alex.
We're very sad to give Alex up, as we're moving. We haven't broken it to our daughter yet.

Alex joined us as our sons nanny when he turned 1 and has been with us for some months since then. From the get go she has been a caring, considerate nanny who’s reliable and transparent. My son is so excited when we tell him she’s about to arrive and even asks for Alex when she’s not there. Alex always prepares fun activities for him and is completely devoted during her time with us. She’s so warm and loving towards my son. Also she’s fantastic company and so flexible to my family’s situation. We are so grateful to her and are so glad we have her as our son’s nanny - she’s like a member of our family now. Thank you Alex!
