About Me

I strive to create a warm, fun, and nurturing environment for every child in my care, whether in babysitting or occasional nanny roles. Parents can feel reassured knowing their children are in safe, competent hands while they enjoy worry-free time away.

I am currently studying at university, and alongside my studies I continue to enjoy working with children. Before beginning my degree, I worked for the government’s Plant Health Department, but childcare has always been my true passion.

With over 8 years of childcare experience, I have worked in nurseries, as a nanny, and with families for babysitting. I spent 5 years as a nursery nurse with children aged 2–3, 2 years as a private nanny caring for two young girls, and the last 2 years providing regular babysitting for several families. I also have experience tutoring English and Hungarian. These roles have given me a strong understanding of the developmental needs of children of different ages, and the skills to provide safe, engaging, and nurturing care.

I am confident in preparing healthy meals, managing food allergies, planning fun and educational activities, and supporting daily routines such as school runs, playtime, and bedtime. My calm, organised approach allows me to adapt easily to each family’s needs while ensuring children feel happy, supported, and secure.

Dori is really good with my toddler and her previous experience really shines through. I feel my toddler is well taken care of and has a great time with Dori going outdoors, playing with arts and crafts, bubble baths and reading before bedtime.
