My Summary

My Experience

My hands-on experience spans a wide range of ages and settings. I began working with children at 16 as a dance teacher and have continued through adulthood with babysitting and nannying roles. Additional experience includes working at Virgin Active gym as cleaning supervisor, lifeguard with regular responsibility for children in pool environments, and providing childcare support at Club V, covering colleagues’ breaks.

I am calm, patient, and safety-focused, with a natural ability to engage children while maintaining clear boundaries and routines. I enjoy supporting children’s development, confidence, and wellbeing, and I am happy to assist with light housework and meal preparation where needed.
I also played musical instruments when child and I have a general knowledge of music theory and singing.

I am reliable, respectful, and attentive, and aim to provide parents with reassurance and children with a safe, supportive, and engaging environment.

My Qualifications

I hold a Upper Secondary / College-level Education (Maturita equivalent) Pedagogical and Social Academy in Prešov, Slovakia, completed with Maturita, including practical experience with children with special needs.
