My Summary

My Experience

I have several years of professional experience working with children of different ages and needs. My background includes au pairing in Australia, nursery work, nannying, babysitting, wedding nannying, and volunteering in a festival crèche. I’m very hands-on and love getting involved in imaginative play, sensory and messy activities, baking, and reading stories together.

I’m warm, friendly, and nurturing while remaining professional at all times. I focus on creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where children feel secure and confident to learn and thrive.

Parents describe me as calm, caring, and highly reliable. They often say their children feel comfortable with me very quickly and look forward to the time we spend together. I’m frequently praised for my patience, creativity, and ability to engage children through play, stories, and hands-on activities.

Families value my clear communication, professionalism, and the reassurance of knowing their children are safe, happy, and well cared for. Parents of children with additional needs have shared how supported and confident they feel leaving their child in my care, knowing I’m attentive, understanding, and responsive to each child’s individual needs.
