About Me
As a home-based childminder, my main goal is to create a safe and loving space for the kids I look after. Being a mom myself, I understand how tough it can be for both kids and parents when they're apart for a long time. So, I work hard to make sure every child feels right at home with me.
I believe that children learn best through play and hands-on activities. To help them grow physically, mentally, and socially, I offer all sorts of fun things to do. I also team up with parents to get the little ones ready for the future.
I speak multiple languages, so I use different languages during our activities to help the kids learn. We read stories, sing songs, and enjoy poems together.
I've got all the proper training and certifications to keep the children safe and well-cared for.
In a nutshell, I'm all about giving kids a friendly and nurturing experience. It's an honor to support families like yours in this way.
My Experience
"As the oldest of 5 brothers in a big and happy family, I was exposed to a wealth of experiences growing up with children and always felt a natural inclination towards caring for them. My parents often relied on me to help take care of my brothers, and I enjoyed playing with them, helping with homework, feeding them, and putting them to sleep. This early exposure to child-rearing not only brought me joy, but also allowed me to gain a wealth of experience in understanding and caring for children.
At age 18, I took an opportunity to live in England as an au pair, where I spent six months caring for two girls, ages 3 and 4, on a daily basis, handling all aspects of their care including meal preparation, homework assistance, school runs, playtime, giving baths and putting them to sleep.
Now, I am the proud mother of 3 daughters, and my role as a mother has brought me immense happiness. My oldest daughter is 10 years old, and the youngest is 11 months old. They have brought so much love and joy to our home and I feel so blessed to have them in my life."

Best childminder in town, was so nervous looking for someone to look after my daughter for two months and happily I found magdalene and she has been taking excellent care of my 7 month old baby girl ever since, my daughter has been so happy with her and I felt relieved that I’m leaving my baby with someone who looks after her the same way i do , she has given me great tips as well on how to take care of my baby as she seems to be quite experienced in taking care of children and has always kept me updated with pictures sent while my baby is staying with her, so grateful to have found her.
