My Summary
About Me
Hi! My name is Ingrid and I am from Spain. I have been living in the UK for 8 years.
Studying my Degree in Education, Masters in Psychology and being Montessori trained has made me realise how much I love helping families. Living abroad and going out of my comfort zone has given me a good growth mindset, which I apply not just at work, but in my daily life.
I grew up in a busy family environment, so I know how to deal with busy daily schedules (work, school, errands, cooking, pets, etc). I am a really energetic and enthusiastic person who is used to promoting a safe environment free from hazards while monitoring children.
I have also been a professional singer in the past which has led me to record several kids songs for Youtube Channels and Audiobooks. I love music and I believe creativity is everywhere, and I think it is great for boosting confidence and general wellbeing.
I have experience with kids and adults with disability (Down Syndrome, Asperger, Autism, Fragile X Syndrome) I am not an expert on these conditions but I do understand their main needs.
I would love to hear from you and help you kid develop in the best way possible!

Thanks very much Una. I love helping you guys and always have fun with Martin!
Hi, I met Ingrid two week ago. She looked after both my boys in our home for three hours over a lunchtime period. We were so happy with Ingrid. Ingrid came early to familiarise herself with the house and the boys, it was evident from my first meeting her that Ingrid was experienced, proactive and caring. Both my boys are teenagers and my eldest son has Downs Syndrome, so we are very particular about having a calm, practical, caring and experienced children and young person carer if we ever need to leave both boys. The need that arose on the day was unforeseen, we could not have wished for a better person to leave at home with both boys and were delighted with Ingrid who appears to have competence, intelligence, care and friendliness. We are booking Ingrid again at the weekend!

Overall
I’ve known Ingrid about a month and I’m delighted with how quickly she’s settled into our routine and how thorough she is with the details. My kids (15 & 12) really like her - and her cooking is excellent! She’s always really punctual for school pick ups and leaves the kitchen immaculate after she’s cooked tea. Ingrid is with us for a few hours after school overseeing dinner, homework and activities.
She's confident, bubbly and lovely to have in the house. She’s pro-active in wanting to help, and has lots of energy and enthusiasm for her work. Ingrid provided me with all of her details really promptly and without fuss.
She’s utterly lovely and a great find.
