My Summary
About Me
-My name is Lenka, I am 51 years old, and I come from the Czech Republic. As a mother of two children and a grandmother of one, I have extensive experience in childcare. I truly love working with young kids, and I approach each child as an individual whom I get to help grow and teach.
-I'm here to help parents every step of the way, to help them understand their child's changing needs as they gain independence.
I am a punctual, reliable, and well-organised person who can handle ad hoc situations. Working independently and completing given tasks is best for me.
Hobbies:
1. I also work as a volunteer for Sure Star Manchester Council. I run family sessions: Babbling Babies, Stay & Play, and Sensory & Messy Play. I support parents to engage all their children's senses. This is essential for a child's development as it improves sensory awareness, fine motor skills, language development, cognitive growth and problem-solving skills in a fun and engaging way.
2. I am a volunteer fundraiser for Every Village Matters, where I actively help raise funds for children through scholarships and international programmes.
3."I love experiencing new cultures through their cuisine and landscapes, and I always make sure there’s a place to swim wherever I go!
My Experience
-Actually, I am working at Kindergarten Salford as a qualified Nursery Practitioner with flexible working hours, and I have been running the business Babysitting since 2020. I have extensive experience working with toddlers, preschoolers, and children under 14.
-I can maintain a safe play environment, observe and monitor children's activities, instruct children in health and personal habits, organise daily schedules, prepare meals and snacks. I feel sure that children require boundaries, discipline, and rules to be put in place so they can adhere. I like to interact with children, encouraging them to reach their full potential, spend time outdoors, and support them in sports and other fun physical activities.

Lenka is fabulous. She always arrives with a big smile and our daughter is thrilled when she comes to look after her. Lenka always brings something new to play with or a game to do which keeps things fresh and exciting. She has so much experience and we listen closely in the debriefs as her advice is so helpful, she cares so much. We trust her completely and get regular updates to see how are little one is enjoying herself with Lenka. She's a star and I can't recommend her enough.

We had a wonderful experience with Lenka and couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She was punctual and reliable, communicated clearly, and kept me regularly updated throughout the day, which provided great peace of mind.
She was fantastic with my 6-year-old, keeping him engaged with fun and age-appropriate activities and making sure he had a lovely, enjoyable day. She also prepared meals for him and handled his bedtime routine wonderfully, creating a calm and consistent end to the evening.
Lenka is caring, responsible, attentive, and genuinely went above and beyond. I am very grateful for how dependable and thoughtful she was, and my son had a great time with her. We would happily have her babysit again!

We would like to sincerely thank Lenka for providing excellent emergency babysitting care for our six-year-old son. She is kind, reliable, and professional, and her transparent, honest pricing made the arrangements easy and reassuring. We paid her rate in advance as agreed.
Lenka arrived on time, introduced herself, and took the time to discuss our son’s habits, routines, and our requests. He was very happy with her thoughtful play plan and craft activities. Throughout the day, she kept us updated every hour with a photo or short message. They played board games, completed crafts, and, in the evening, she helped him with his bath and bedtime routine.
When we returned home, Lenka explained how his day had gone, and we found the house tidy and everything in order. My wife and I had a wonderful time together knowing our son was in such capable hands.
Thank you, Lenka. We highly recommend her to any family seeking dependable.
