About Me

Hello and thank you for giving me the opportunity to introduce myself.

I am a bilingual, educationally focused nanny, with a solid background in teaching and childhood development. I have lived and worked in several countries, three continents, settled now in London, a city that I love, since 2015.

Together with the skills acquired from my experience as an educator, I use my formal training in acting and holistic therapies as a valuable tool when working with kids, in particular children that are neurodivergent. My approach is both playful and educational and my aim is to create joy and harmony using a combination of gentleness, encouragement, and positive reinforcement to establish a nurturing relationship and a happy, safe environment for the children I care for, support and teach.

I am joyful and love nature and the outdoors. Naturally caring and emphatic, I establish a quick rapport with children and their families. I consider myself to be enthusiastic, very reliable, highly organised and proactive. With a solid and ample experience as a nanny, I have chosen this professional path because I genuinely find it very rewarding.

For the younger ones, I can support their transition from nursery to Reception and into Year 1. I have the experience and skills to encourage them to accomplish the first, most challenging tasks, like writing and sounding/blending in their first stages of reading, as well as promoting their creativity, self-expression, and enthusiasm for learning. For the older ones, I can help with homework or deliver more specific tutoring, learning support for SEN students, providing both organizational and study skills.

Regarding other practical aspects of a nanny role I am able to offer:

- School runs and taking children to after-school activities/clubs
- Encourage and supervise music practice, daily reading and spelling
- Run the weekly programs following the instructions provided by specialist support like OT, PT, SLT etc.
- Plan weekly menus and cook children's meals
- Keep the children's areas tidy, including clearing the kitchen after meals
- Evening babysitting, overnight and proxy parenting when parents are travelling
- Establish/maintain routines and help with sleeping/eating habits
- Children's laundry and wardrobe organization + uniforms and sports kits
- Bath and bed time routine
- Plan outings and aged appropriate activities during half-term and holidays weeks.
- PA duties
- Native Spanish if you would like to rise your children bilingual

I hold an enhanced DBS and the settle status that grants me the right to work in the UK.
Looking for live in roles with school-age children.

Please, do not hesitate to contact me to have an informal conversation and discuss your needs further. I can be flexible, as it all comes down to finding the right family and feeling that we can work well together.

Kindest regards,

Elisa
