About Me

I am a dedicated and experienced childcare professional with over five years of hands-on experience as a nanny and childminder, working closely with families to support children’s safety, development, and well-being. Currently, I am partnered with an agency, caring for a 10-year-old, where my responsibilities include school pick-ups, transportation to extracurricular activities, preparing healthy meals, and providing a nurturing environment that promotes emotional safety and growth. I also monitor homework, encourage creativity through music and art—leveraging my background as a professional musician—and support their learning and hobbies.

My previous experience includes three years working as a nanny for a London-based agency, where I was responsible for engaging children through leisure activities, language stimulation, and fostering their learning process. I am still working with the agency and have recently been promoted to a childminder professional role. I hold a Diploma in Childcare (level 4) acquired through Next Generation Learning in 2025, and a Special Educational Needs course (level 3) on The International Open Academy .
This course was a comprehensive Course, made of 5 courses: Dyslexia Awareness, Autism Awareness, Special Educational Needs and Speech, Language Specialist and ADHD Awareness.

Beyond childcare, I am a passionate musician and music producer, serving as the CEO and founder of Gothic Empire Records. I have successfully released music, managed various departments within my company, and developed skills in digital marketing, branding, and project management. My musical background enables me to incorporate creativity and artistic expression into my caregiving approach, helping children develop confidence and a love for learning.

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Opera Singing and Performing Arts, graduating with honours from Conservatorio S. Pietro a Majella. I love to incorporate into my work to make childcare fun and engaging. I enjoy using music, singing, and performing arts to enrich the children's development and keep them entertained in a nurturing environment. As a multi-instrumentalist, professional singer, and mentor, I possess strong communication skills and a warm, positive attitude. Thanks to my studies as a vocalist, I also have knowledge in diction and correct phonation, articulation, and proper posture. I am currently working as a singing teacher as a self-employed, through Roundhay Music.

Moreover, I am bilingual in English and Italian and can incorporate language teaching into our child's learning and development. I also hold a diploma in Foreign Languages and Literature.
I am also fully DBS checked, hold a child safeguarding certificate, and have my own vehicle with business insurance, allowing me to reliably commute and adapt to different family needs.
Finally, I am passionate about supporting children’s growth and development and would love the opportunity to bring my nurturing, creative, and responsible approach to your family.
