Nanny in Dyce (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
Looking for a caring and reliable babysitter? I’d love to chat!
Hi! I’m Themis, 38 - a warm, kind, and detail-oriented nanny/babysitter who truly enjoys spending time with kids.
I grew up in a big family full of cousins and siblings—being the oldest meant I was always the go-to person for playful and fun times! I love plants, cosy tea moments, drawing, colouring, and watching movies (especially animations—The Emperor’s New Groove is a favourite). Oh, and I love sailing too!
I’d be happy to create a fun, safe, and nurturing environment for your child while also building a relationship based on trust and care. :)
I truly value working with the family regularly and longer-term — it allows for a stronger relationship with the child and more consistent care (develop a deep connection and bond with the child and the family).
I’m flexible, open to commuting, and happy to discuss availability. Drop me a message—I’d love to hear from you!
My Experience
Caring for little ones has always come naturally to me! I’ve been involved in childcare from a young age, starting with helping care for my baby brother.
Later, I had the joy of looking after a sweet girl on the autism spectrum, from infancy for a couple of years.
More recently, in 2020, I cared for two lovely siblings (15 months boy and 4 years old girl) for nearly two years on a regular, weekly basis. Followed by a fun-loving 4-year-old boy. Picking up from nursery/school, helping with the evening routine, bath time, getting everyone cozy in their pyjamas, settling them into bed, and overnight care. — always making time for gentle play and lots of smiles along the way.
Most recently, I supported a wonderful family with two very active children (an 11-months-old girl and a 6-year-old boy), both with special needs.
I truly adore the children I care for and build true connections with them!
I always work very attentively, especially with younger children.
I’m careful, very observant, and calm in my approach.
I’m warm, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with children. I'm happy to provide a reference letter upon request — feel free to reach out for a chat!
My Qualifications
Hello again! I am a caring, responsible, and experienced babysitter with a strong background in science and child-friendly patience. I am fluent in English, a native Portuguese speaker, and have basic proficiency in Spanish and Italian, making me adaptable to multilingual households.
I hold a First-Class Honours BSc in Biomedical Sciences and a MSc & PhD in Neurosciences, which have given me a deep understanding of child development, health, and emotional needs.
I have also completed a Level 2 Certificate in Understanding Autism, reflecting my strong interest in mental health and enabling me to provide even more informed and compassionate support in special care.
Known for being patient, friendly, and always with a smile, I create a nurturing and engaging environment where children feel safe and happy. I assure that they will find a friend in me.
Whether it's engaging in fun activities, helping with homework, or ensuring a structured routine, I bring warmth, reliability, and a genuine love for childcare to every family I work with.

We’ve been so lucky to have Themis in our lives. From the very beginning, she brought a calm, attentive, genuinely nurturing presence that made a huge difference to our family.
Themis has a rare ability to be both gentle and deeply attuned — she really sees children as individuals. My children felt safe, understood, and happy with her, which as a parent matters more than anything.
She’s thoughtful, reliable, emotionally intelligent, and wonderfully playful without ever being chaotic. There’s a steadiness to her care that builds trust quickly — not just with children, but with parents too.
I would recommend Themis without hesitation to any family looking for childcare that is loving, emotionally safe, and genuinely child-centred. She is a real gift.

Themis has provided care for my 2 children from the ages of 15 months and up to 5 years. She provided consistently reliable, fun-filled, responsible and highly attentive care for my children and she was a wonderful and valued addition to their 'village'. We were very fortunate to have had Themis with us for so long and would continue with her today (now aged 9 and 6) if we remained in the same city. Themis will be a highly valued asset to any family.
