My Summary
Experienced Nanny And Teacher
About Me
Looking for a caring Nanny?
Fun-loving but firm. Keen to work to your values.
I’m an ex-teacher, reliable, with 7 years of nanny experience.
We will do a varied mix of outdoor activities, visits to museums and kids groups, crafts, cooking, with plenty of time for stories and free play.
I have a good knowledge of local Oxford activities, and will take care to develop new, safe, varied daily schedules around the interests of the child/children. I have a one-year old daughter who is very friendly and kind and we’re looking for a family who is happy for her to join in. Hopefully this will be a plus for the right family. I’ve experience looking after twins and imagine the children will become good friends and play-mates.
Previously I worked as a primary school teacher and as an environmental project manager.
I have paediatric first aid, a clean driving licence and speak good Spanish.
I am ideally looking to work 2.5 - 3 days per week / 20-25hrs, for one family, through a contractual arrangement but would also be interested to hear from families looking for similar. Flexible on which days.
I am Ofsted registered and tax-free childcare can be sought through this registration. Full DBS.

Ria looked after my 2 children during half term and she was great. Plenty of fun activities, parks, museums, crafts, cooking as well as free play. Super organised and professional. Highly recommended!

We loved having Ria as our nanny for nearly a whole year - a particularly challenging time as we all navigated the pandemic, lockdowns, home schooling and more. Throughout, Ria has been supportive, present, organised and thoughtful. The kids enjoyed plenty of time outdoors every day, along with play time, quiet time, dancing, yoga, healthy food, endless stories and a whole host of creative activities - each aimed at developing different skills and tailored to each of their stages. In these times of flux and change, she was consistent and reliable, which we really valued. She really did become like a member of the family!

Ria has been a wonderful nanny to our children. She has primarily looked after our daughter (from18 months) and also to our son (from age 4) during his school holidays. From the very start Ria established a really nice bond with our daughter (her main charge), who is always excited and happy when Ria is coming. My son also looks forward to the days he spends with Ria in the holidays. She has always related to our children in a way that is both kind, respecting the children's needs and personalities, and sensible. She is energetic and creative and plans a range of activities for the children, including lovely creative art projects, baking, and outdoor activities. They've also enjoyed indoor play and reading lots of stories together.
Ria has always been reliable and conscientious and a lovely person to have in our family life. My daughter is starting Preschool now that she is older but we will really miss Ria!

Ria is an absolutely fantastic nanny! We feel very lucky that she was able to look after our two girls (2 and 6) while we were in Oxford, and would have dearly loved her to come in our suitcase when we left the UK. Our daughters adored her. Ria is reliable, warm and calm. She is very child-led but always has creative ideas to keep everyone busy and happy. We highly recommend her, and would be happy to answer any specific questions if you get in touch.
