My Summary
About Me
Dear Families,
I am Niki, an OFSTED registered nanny with over 15 years of experience working with children, originally from Hungary and have been living in the UK since 2009. I am a qualified early years educator who is enthusiastic, fun, energetic and hard working. Working in various nursery and school settings, I have acquired a good understanding of children’s needs and development. I aim to give children as many opportunities and experiences as possible in order to engage, motivate and prepare them for future life.
I use gentle parenting and Montessori methods in my practice with consistency, setting clear expectations and boundaries. I focus on positive language and praising good behaviour to encourage children to become confident and independent individuals.
I emphasise healthy eating and am happy to prepare a menu for the children based on their taste and dietary needs that are diverse and nutritious.
I started babysitting alongside my nursery/ school jobs about 15 years ago. I have worked as a sole charge nanny since 2020. Me and my children managed to form great relationships with the families who I worked for and I'm still in contact with them.
My duties included but not limited to engage children in fun and stimulating activities such as art and craft, messy play or take them to park/play groups and cook nutritious food for them. I have experience working with multiple children simultaneously from newborn to 7 years old.
I'm looking for a part time employment as a live out nanny or daytime babysitter with families that are open to have someone with their own child as I would like to bring my 2 year old son with me. I am available on Thursdays and Fridays between ~ 9am - 2:30pm (to enable me to pick up my eldest from school) or for full days depending on the location. I might be flexible for the right family so please message me with your enquiry. I have over 14 years of experience, Level 3 Diploma in childcare, DBS check, nanny insurance and paediatric first aid. I have excellent references upon request.
Thank you,
Niki

We have been so grateful to have had Niki looking after our son. She has been brilliant with him from day one and has built such a lovely relationship with him. He has always been happy and settled in her care, which has given us real peace of mind.
Niki is warm, caring and patient. She always kept him engaged with different activities, and he enjoyed their days together. It was also lovely to see him build such a nice friendship with Niki’s little boy.
We’re really grateful for everything Niki has done for our family over the past few months. She’s been a huge help to us. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to another family.

We feel incredibly lucky to have had Niki care for our daughter on Thursdays, and honestly don’t know how we would have managed without her.
From the very beginning, Niki was professional, calm and reassuring, exactly what you hope for when trusting someone with your child. Her communication was excellent throughout: clear, thoughtful and always proactive, which gave us real peace of mind. She was also flexible and accommodating when we needed it, which made a huge difference to us as a family.
Most importantly, our daughter absolutely adored Niki. She quickly grew excited for their visits and formed a lovely bond not only with Niki but also with her son. Seeing how happy and settled our child was in her care was the greatest reassurance we could ask for. It was clear that Niki creates a warm, safe and nurturing environment where children feel secure and valued.
Niki is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to childcare and child development, and that experience shines through in everything she does. She is attentive, caring and instinctively knows how to support children at each stage, always putting their wellbeing first. We always felt our daughter was in the safest of hands.
We would wholeheartedly recommend Niki to any family looking for a nanny. She is reliable, kind, highly experienced and truly wonderful at what she does. We are enormously grateful to her and would like to take this opportunity to thank her for the care, support and reassurance she gave us, and our daughter.

A consummate practitioner of a nanny, Nikki has all the skills a family should expect for the role. Her considerable experience was demonstrable from the start of her time with us. The tone she adopts with children is soft and gentle yet focused and her ability to communicate effectively with them well was unquestionable. This clarity of her communication was also a benefit for her interactions with us, making our planning straightforward. Another of her notable strengths was her planning around the children’s meals, for which her preparation was thoughtful and the food nutritious. In summary, we found Nikki to be a skilful nanny, very comfortable in the profession.
