My Summary
Dedicated, Creative, And Experienced Nanny Available
About Me
I am a creative and experienced nanny with nearly five years of childcare experience in nurseries and private families, caring for children from around eight months to early years. More than anything, I love bringing imagination into everyday life—whether that’s setting up outdoor art clubs, turning a walk in the park into a hunt for tigers and polar bears, or encouraging role-play that helps children explore new ideas and feelings.
I also enjoy weaving creativity into meals, introducing children to new ingredients through fun, healthy recipes made from scratch, so food becomes both nourishing and exciting. Reading is another big part of my approach, and I make regular library trips with children to help them develop a lifelong love for books.
Music and culture are equally important—I share songs and nursery rhymes from my Brazilian heritage alongside English ones, giving children joyful exposure to another language. With my background in nurseries, I am confident in supporting milestones, planning age-appropriate activities, and maintaining clear communication with families.
Above all, I aim to create a safe, loving, and stimulating environment where children feel cared for, inspired, and free to be themselves. From September, I will begin university part-time and am seeking a family who would benefit from part-time or 3-day-a-week support.
My Experience
•• Full time Nanny – Private family, Peckham, London (January 2025 -
Present) (Role will end mid September)
Currently working as a full-time nanny for a child in Peckham, who was 21 months old when I started. My responsibilities include preparing
balanced and diverse meals from scratch daily, implementing structured and flexible routines, and supporting toilet training with care and
encouragement. I curate age-appropriate developmental activities such as
baking, music time, arts and crafts, sensory play, and story-based learning. I take the child to weekly classes and playgroups to support socialisation and confidence-building. I also maintain open communication with the
parents through regular updates and adapt daily care to meet the child’s
evolving needs with warmth and flexibility.
•• Full time Nanny – Private family, Greenwich, London (August 2023 –
December 2024)
Provided sole-charge care for a baby from just 1.5 months old, creating a
nurturing, calm, and responsive environment. My work included introducing sensory play, age-appropriate music and stories, and attending baby classes to aid early development. I managed nap and feeding
schedules, prepared fresh baby-led weaning meals with a variety of textures and flavours, and closely supported developmental milestones such as rolling, crawling, and early speech. I built strong trust with the
family, adapting care plans over time to align with the child's individual
growth.
•• Nursery Practitioner – Little Cubs Academy (February 2023 – July
2023)
Collaborated with a team in a busy nursery to care for children aged 1 to 5,
ensuring a safe, stimulating, and inclusive environment. I planned and
delivered activities aligned with the EYFS framework, focusing on
physical development, emotional literacy, and early learning. Responsibilities included nappy changes, supporting potty training, managing group transitions, and documenting learning outcomes. I communicated daily with parents through diary entries and verbal feedback, building trust and consistent routines.
••Nursery Practitioner – Monkey Puzzle (January 2022 – December
2022)
Led a key group of children in a nursery setting, planning and delivering
interactive and imaginative activities focused on communication, confidence, and creativity. I observed and recorded developmental
progress, supported mealtimes and hygiene routines, and built warm, consistent relationships with children and families. I worked closely with colleagues to maintain safeguarding procedures and create a nurturing
learning environment that met the needs of each child.
•• Full time Nanny – Private Family, Greenwich ( November 2020 – July
2021)
Cared for a 3-year-old child, balancing practical responsibilities like school pick-ups and meal preparation with enriching daily activities. I
organised themed weeks to introduce the child to new cultures through food, music, and stories, and we cooked together weekly to build
independence and confidence in the kitchen. I also arranged regular playdates and outings, helping the child develop strong friendships and
social skills. Through patience, creativity, and a responsive approach, I helped the child build emotional literacy and a sense of autonomy.
•• Full time Nanny – Private Family, São Paulo ( March 2018 – October
2019)
Provided nurturing care for a 2.5-year-old child in a full-time role. I managed every aspect of their routine, from wake-up through bedtime,
including personal care, meal planning, and enrichment. I regularly planned trips to parks, child-friendly exhibitions, and local markets to
foster curiosity and engagement with the world. At home, I offered gentle structure through activities like storytelling, pretend play, cooking, and collaborative art projects. I encouraged autonomy and respectful communication, helping the child develop strong self-awareness.
