My Summary
About Me
-My name is Lenka, I am 51 years old, I come from the Czech Republic.As a mother of two children and a grandmother of one, I have great experience in the field of childcare. I truly love working with young kids, and I approach each child as an individual who 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 and reliable person who is well organised and who can face ad-hoc situations as well. Work independently and completing given tasks the best is obvious for me.
Hobbies:
-I also work as a volunteer for Family Action, Manchester Council. I run family sessions - Babbling Babies, Stay & Play, 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.
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.

Below are the latest reviews for Lenka. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk members and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
I’m Stefy, and as Chairperson of the educational charity Every Village Matters, I have had the pleasure of seeing firsthand how deeply passionate Lenka is about working with children. Her care goes far beyond her professional role, she brings genuine love, dedication, and thoughtfulness to every child she supports.
Lenka is also a dedicated fundraiser for our charity, actively helping us raise support for children through scholarships and international programmes. She does not only give her time and energy, but also supports children with her own financial contributions. Her commitment does not stop with the children she works with daily, she cares equally about the children we support from afar, always putting their needs first and contributing thoughtful strategies and ideas to improve their wellbeing.
Lenka’s heart for children is real, consistent, and truly inspiring.

I have found Lenka here on childcare and she has been exclusively babysitting our 8 month old girl.
She is extremely reliable and always tries her best to accommodate for last minute requests as well as sessions planned months in advance, which is super helpful to be able to book events such as concerts well in advance and to have piece of mind.
She babysits for us both during the day when I I am doing keep in touch days working both home and out and about (I am in a sales leadership position). She also supports us in the evenings and we have always had a very positive experience.
I appreciate Lenka's interest in likes/dislikes and routines of Josepine and her very kind and calm approach to Josephine. The get along very well and my daughter likes to spend time with Lenka. I also appreciate Lenka's proactive photo updates as well as her responsiveness when I need reassurance everything is well.
Despite the fact that I always offer Lenka to make herself at home, have a coffee/tea and use our TV, she usually comes with a book and a snack for herself and leaves the house in a very clean condition.

Lenka is reliable, caring and professional. She is flexible and willing to adapt to what is needed. She was happy to help look after our daughter while my husband was at home cooking and I was out. She's good at identifying hazards and helping us think of alternative ways to care for our daughter. Multiple DBS checks and so many positive reviews are testament to her reliability and capabilities. I would definitely recommend Lenka.

It was a pleasure spending time with your beautiful daughter. I haven't seen such a sporty and active girl for a long time, who can walk, run, jump for 2 hours straight and still smile.
Thanks for the reference.
Lenka is a beautiful and inspirational human being. We are so grateful that she was available for 4 days emergency cover while my son and I were unwell and I really needed support. In those 4 days she managed to identify several areas for potential development in my son. We had some illuminating conversations and I honestly think she should offer parenting lessons! The wealth and breadth of experience she brings to her work is extraordinary. She planned each session carefully and takes a very child centred approach- focusing on education and overall child development and well-being. She is also very conscious about child health and safety. We truly truly appreciated having her with us and don’t think we will be the same again! We really look forward to seeing her again soon ❤️

I am always pleased when children have all the equipment they need and the toys they need for their development like your son.
It was a pleasure to spend time in your clean and comfortable accommodation.
You are a very nice family.
Thank you for the reference.
We were extremely happy with Lenka. She was wonderful with our 3-month-old—so patient, gentle, and caring. She arrived on time and was very reliable. I would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her to other families!

I so much appreciate this beautiful review. It was easy and joyful to take care of your son because he is well behaved and the parents are also really kind.Stay in your really tidy and nice home was very comfortable for me.
Lenka was a great Nana figure for our little one, just what we wanted. Brought new activities and toys to keep our toddler busy and engaged whilst we went out for a concert. She was very professional and communicated with us all through out the evening. Will definitely have her services again when we go back to Manchester xx

Lenka is simply amazing. She currently looks after our 4 daughters ranging from 3.5 years to 8.5 years. She does the school pickup for us and she safely brings the girls home. She does so many interesting activities with girls at home and teaching. Her child caring is perfect. She has very appropriate rules and the children's behavior has markedly improved. The girls love her so much. She does prepare the foods if the need snack and feed them appropriately. She is very clean and keeps the house very tidy too. Myself and my wife are doctors and we peaceful do our job thanks to Lenka. She is a part of our family.

Thank you for your review, Harshana. I have worked in your family for 7 months and I must say you're a family with great values. You're nice and kind people, which made me feel at home with you. I was very satisfied that you always provided me with an advanced work schedule (dates and times) and advanced payments. I could rely on this, which helped me feel safe, and I could easily follow my other commitments.
Lenka helped me with the care of my son from 2 months to 2 years of age before he started kindergarten. I can say that she always came on time, cleanly dressed and with a big smile. Her service system is reliable, provides good customer service from booking to advance payment. During the two years, she helped me figure out how to set up a daily regimen for my boy and I can say that this gave me more free time for myself. She showed me new alternative ways to deal with colds, high fever, constipation, loss of appetite etc. I was pleased that I did not have to use pharmacy drugs. She showed me how important it is to monitor my child's progress and thus rule out any special needs. She is a very reliable lady who understands her profession and my son was always safe, satisfied and they had a lot of fun together.

Thank you for providing me with this review, Zuzana. I am so happy I could be helpful for your boy, which resulted in you having more time for yourself.
We have had Lenka looking after our baby for a couple times now and it has been amazing. Lenka always arrived 15min early, she’s thorough, organised and very detailed. She brought toys to play with my baby, and he’s having fun hanging out with her. We’re very happy to have found her, we know now that whenever we want to have a night out, she’ll take care of our baby and that he’s safe at home. I would definitely recommend her ♥️

Thank you for writing me this review, Trinh. I was amazed how everything was prepared by you before I even came. Then I was just supervising and making sure your baby was safe. It was my pleasure to be there for you.
