About Me
******** NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE AS PER MARCH 2024*************
THANKS!
A professional 15+ years qualified NVQ in Children's Care - nanny - mum - with impeccable references, looking for a part-time morning role as I drop and collect my darling daughter at a local school, where I can develop a bond and connection with a family.
*******NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE AS PER MARCH 2024. THANKS!
*PLEASE NOTE I DROP MY DAUGHTER AT OUR LOCAL SCHOOL AT 9AM AND I COLLECT HER AT 3:30PM, HENCE THIS IS MY ONLY AVAILABILITY, THANKS!
A warm and nurturing qualified Level 3 NVQ in Children's Care, Learning, and Developing, passionate about children’s development and language, which inspires them to be their best.
Proficient in engaging children with games, puzzles, and other recreational activities to bolster their cognitive, creative, and thinking skills. A caring and confident child carer who is motivated, and can develop close relationships with children in her care, and their surrounding families.
A friendly, loving, positive, and dedicated mother of an adorable multilingual 5 years old girl knowing well from first hand what raising a child means, who uses her own initiative, who likes to help others, making parenting hassle, and worrying-free whilst caring for their children.
A child carer who truly loves what she does.
A word from a parent to a parent:
Being a mum it’s an incredibly profound experience that wouldn’t swap for the world. Looking after children even before being mum felt mostly intuitive and natural to me. Being a mum has changed my life for ever, hence I feel differently; I feel, I hear, and I can see through children's eyes, and know, and feel they what they need.
Being a mum gave a knowledge, wisdom, anticipation, better understanding, resilient, capacity to think under pressure, capacity to bond, and empathy towards children, and their parents, and other people than being a child carer, the journey has been amazing, and I am still learning!
I have had the pleasure of having known lovely families, and so cared for their amazing children, that has helped me to be who I am today.
We can not nor want to protect or rescue our children from all adversities and negative experiences. These experiences are a big part of the growth and development of resilience, as well as the acquisition of internal skills necessary to face stress and failure and respond flexibly.

HOBBIES:
When I am not working, I love spending time outdoors with my daughter, taking long walks to Greenwich park, listening to an educational podcast for non-perfect parents, meditating, reading, listening to music, yoga! Also, an oat cappuccino is much better with a friend and enjoying Sundays with my family and our chihuahua Uli.
JUST A FEW WORDS:
I ensure my children developed self-esteem, reassurance and felt happy, listened and protected, making sure children’s areas were safe, organised, tidy, and clean whilst in my care. I believe that children thrive when they feel loved, happy, and most importantly secure and this is my core focus, with lots of fun and laughter thrown in too!
I love the freedom of working as a Nanny, as every day is a new adventure that we can embrace, be it a walk in the park to find fairies, a quiet time reading together, or building a fortress in the garden!
I pride myself on consistently receiving 100% positive feedback from parents.
I have a good relationship with all my families, all references are available upon request.

We couldn't be happier to have chosen Maite as nanny to our little one (currently 13 months old). Maite knew from the very first moment how to make our son feel comfortable, happy, and at ease around her. She has even given us tips on how to improve our son's sleeping patterns and routines - which worked marvels. Maite is very professional and is highly skilled on children development, medical routines, weaning, etc. But most importantly, she loves being with children and taking care of them. You can feel how much she loves and enjoys her job. We can't recommend Maite enough.

This is a reference to highly recommend Maite Beltran for Nanny and babysitting roles. Maite was a Nanny for our son, working 3 days a week and caring for our baby from 4 months old to 10 months. (Feb - Jul 2022)
This was our first time using a Nanny. Immediately Maite put us at ease due to her kind attitude, sharing past experiences, her knowledge and practical ways that she would support us. She immediately bonded with our baby, putting us at further ease.
A couple of things Maite did helping us:
-Found fun local activities for the baby to do, inside and outside, including playtimes, sensory play through a variety of weather conditions
-Took baby to sensory activities, sometimes with mum as well
-Prepared tasty meals and made sure the baby was well fed, as the baby weaned from bottles, to purees to solid foods.
-Helped organise and clean the play area and baby room
-Gave helpful advice when baby was ill, and helped look after baby, even bring remedies (e.g., nasal saline) from her own house, as it had worked for her (this was a very nice touch)
We would continue to use Maite and are sad we have to stop due to a change of our work circumstances. We will still use her for babysitting due to the attachment she has built with our baby.
We are happy to answer any questions you may have and would highly recommend Maite to look after your children

Please give him a big kiss, I am looking forward to babysitting him again very soon!
Kindest regards and, thanks so much for everything and, again for the lovely review to you both!
Big hug,

Absolutely amazing experience! Maite took great care of our 7 months old son for several months. I felt very comfortable leaving my precious child with her for few hours. She’s reliable and she
always being punctual. Definitely going to hire her again if needed.

Maite has been looking after our son since September 2021 on a monthly basis, and she built a lovely relationship with him from the very beginning.
She is warm and kind, has a great affinity with children and creates a caring and happy environment; our son is really enjoying staying and playing with her, and we feel confident to leave him in such good hands.
She is always on time, and usually gives us live updates with messages and photos and we really appreciate that.
We highly recommend Maite for babysitting as we found her professional, reliable and proactive.

We highly recommend Maite for babysitting, nanny jobs as we found her highly professional, knowledgable, helpful, proactive, reliable and easy to work with.
Our 1 year old son started a nursery but unfortunately he did not settle so we had to find a quick alternative. The start was not easy: our son was not keen on solids, was anxious when away from parents and had a floating naptime routine. We found Maite who was not put off by this and joined us in this challenge to prepare him for a nursery. 4 months later we rejoined nursery again where he settled easily at the nursery within a week, has been surprising us with portions of solids he can eat and has become more independent exploring life and things around him.
Maite has been extremely helpful in getting him to eat various solids, helping him to gain weight and get used to napping routine. She took him to playgroups and playgrounds in the area almost every day and gave detailed reports every day about his wellbeing and activities. Maite often proactively suggested ideas either related to his meals or play activities. We would not hesitate to recommend her to other parents. She is great!
