Nanny in London: Richmond Upon Thames (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
Hello, I'm Nihal.
I am a warm, reliable, and enthusiastic childcare professional based in Richmond with over three years of childcare experience caring for children from 11 months to 8 years old.
Working with children is something I genuinely enjoy. I love watching them learn, grow and gain confidence through play, creativity, outdoor adventures, and everyday experiences. I believe every child deserves to feel safe, respected, and supported in a nurturing environment where they can develop at their own pace.
Originally from Turkey, I worked in higher education for many years before moving to the UK with my family. My passion for supporting children's development inspired me to pursue a career in childcare. I have completed my Early Years Level 2 qualification and will be starting my Level 3 Early Years Educator qualification in September. Alongside this, I have gained valuable experience supporting children in a Reception class at a local primary school and continue to develop my knowledge of the EYFS framework.
I am kind, patient, organised, and dependable. I enjoy planning creative activities, arts and crafts, baking, reading stories, messy play, nature walks, and outdoor learning. My aim is always to create a happy, safe, and stimulating environment where children feel loved, secure, and encouraged to become confident and independent.
I value open communication with parents and believe that building a trusting relationship with the whole family is just as important as caring for the children. I would love to become a positive and reliable part of your family's daily life.
My Experience
I have over three years of professional childcare experience caring for babies and young children in both home and educational settings.
My childcare experience includes caring for an 11-month-old baby, supporting their daily routines, feeding, weaning, naps, sensory play, and early development. I have also cared for children aged 4 and 5, planning fun and engaging activities, encouraging independence, supporting early learning and creating structured daily routines through play.
In addition, I have experience caring for an 8-year-old child, including school pick-ups, homework support, preparing healthy meals, organising creative and outdoor activities, and helping to build confidence, independence, and positive routines.
Alongside my childcare roles, I have completed my Early Years Level 2 qualification and volunteer in a Reception class at a local primary school, where I support children's learning through play and classroom activities. I will be starting my Early Years Educator Level 3 qualification in September, as I am committed to continuing my professional development and to providing the highest-quality care and education for children.
I hold an Enhanced DBS, have the Right to Work in the UK, and believe every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and encouraged to reach their full potential. I build warm, trusting relationships with children and parents and always tailor my care to meet each child's individual needs.
