My Summary
About Me
Experienced Professional Nanny & Family Assistant | Sole Charge, SEN & Makaton | Enhanced DBS | References Available
Hello, I’m Lilla-Maria, an experienced, warm and reliable professional nanny and family assistant with extensive experience supporting private families in London, the UK and internationally. I am relocating to Clacton-on-Sea in October 2026 and am looking for a suitable live-out nanny, family assistant, after-school, temporary or holiday role in Clacton, Tendring, Colchester or nearby areas.
I have cared for children from newborn to school age and have worked in sole-charge, live-in, rota, travel and temporary positions. My experience includes planning fun and age-appropriate activities, supporting children’s routines and development, preparing healthy meals, organising outings and playdates, school runs, and communicating clearly with parents.
I also have special educational needs experience, including supporting a non-verbal autistic child. I have used Makaton sign language and Montessori-inspired approaches to encourage communication, confidence and independence.
I am calm, organised, discreet and dependable. I understand the importance of consistency, warmth and clear boundaries, and I build positive, trusting relationships with both children and parents. I am fluent in English, Hungarian and Romanian, hold an Enhanced DBS with Children’s Barred List, and can provide excellent written references.
I am happy to discuss each family’s individual needs and am available for suitable childcare and family-support roles.
My Experience
I have extensive professional nanny and family-support experience gained over many years in London, the UK and internationally. I have worked in full-time sole-charge, live-in, rota, travel, temporary, weekend and holiday roles for private families, including high-net-worth households.
I have cared for children from newborn age through to school age and teenagers. My responsibilities have included establishing and maintaining routines; nursery and school runs; planning educational, creative and outdoor activities; organising playdates and outings; preparing healthy meals; supporting sleep routines; arranging children’s wardrobes and belongings; travelling with families; and communicating closely with parents.
Most recently, I worked as a full-time, sole-charge nanny for a family in Knightsbridge, caring for their child from 18 months until nearly 3 years old. I planned daily developmental activities, supported healthy eating and independence, organised outings and playdates, and worked closely with the parents to maintain consistent routines and developmental goals. I continued to support the family on an ad-hoc basis afterwards, reflecting the strong and trusted relationship we built.
I also have special educational needs experience. In a previous role, I supported a toddler and a non-verbal autistic child, using Makaton sign language and Montessori-inspired approaches to encourage communication, confidence and development.
I am experienced in supporting busy working parents and understand the importance of reliability, discretion, calm organisation and clear daily communication. I am comfortable taking initiative while always respecting each family’s preferences, routines and parenting style.
I hold an Enhanced DBS with Children’s Barred List and can provide excellent written references from previous employers.
