My Summary
About Me
*Currently looking for a nanny role (40 hours/4 days) from half May/June around Twickenham, Richmond, Teddington (but not necessarily)*
With five years of dedicated service in the childcare industry as a nanny, I bring a blend of professionalism, compassion, and creativity to my role. Recognized for my reliability, calm demeanor, and organizational prowess, I thrive in providing a nurturing and enriching environment for children under my care.
My skill set extends beyond childcare duties, encompassing the preparation of nutritious meals, coordination of activities and playdates, and facilitation of nature walks, games, and arts and crafts sessions. I take pride in exceeding expectations by fostering a loving and nurturing atmosphere that promotes growth and development.
In addition to my childcare expertise, I am an avid reader and explorer, finding joy in both nature walks and city adventures. Photography, meditation, and yoga are not only my passions but also integral aspects of my lifestyle, reflecting my commitment to mindfulness and well-being.
My gentle and compassionate approach to childcare is complemented by my proficiency in languages and creative pursuits. I am enthusiastic about sharing my knowledge of Spanish or Portuguese, as well as introducing children to the joys of meditation and photography.
Outside of my professional commitments, I am an avid photographer, engaging in both personal and charitable projects. Weekend freelance work allows me to further indulge my passion for photography while contributing to meaningful causes.
I've lived in Argentina for 5 years, gaining cultural insights and fluency in Spanish. My brief stay in Italy for 6 months provided me with exposure to diverse cultural experiences. Furthermore, my studies in International Business in Brazil equipped me with a global perspective and valuable intercultural communication skills. I've also pursued my interests in photography through two photography courses, honing my skills in visual storytelling and artistic expression. Additionally, I completed a meditation guiding course, deepening my understanding of mindfulness practices and their applications in promoting well-being.
Fuelled by a passion for exploration, I thoroughly enjoy travelling and have ventured to various destinations, broadening my horizons and enriching my appreciation for diverse cultures and life.
My Experience
My roles as a nanny have afforded me extensive hands-on experience in crucial aspects of childcare, including successful potty training, sleep training strategies, bottle techniques, weening, and introducing healthy eating habits. Additionally, my time working in a nursery environment provided me with a solid foundation in early childhood development and care practices. Concurrently, I provided babysitting services to families across South London, further refining my skills in managing diverse needs and fostering meaningful connections with children. Moreover, my adeptness in emotional regulation has enabled me to create supportive environments that nurture children's emotional well-being and promote positive social interactions. These collective experiences have not only enriched my expertise but also instilled in me a deep appreciation for the importance of tailored, compassionate care in supporting children's growth and development.
