My Summary
About Me
In my heart, I carry a deep well of kindness and compassion that guides my every interaction, especially when caring for children. My natural bubbly personality adds a sprinkle of joy to our days together, creating a space where laughter and smiles are abundant.
Patience is something I've learned to treasure, understanding that each child has their own pace and needs. I pride myself on being able to tune into these needs intuitively, providing comfort and reassurance when it's needed most. Alongside this warmth, I take my role seriously, always ensuring reliability, professionalism, and trustworthiness in my care. Building strong relationships with both children and parents is not just important to me, it's essential, creating a supportive network where everyone feels valued and understood. With this blend of heart and dedication, I strive to make each day a little brighter for the families I have the privilege to work with.
My Experience
Hello, I’m Christie – Deputy Headteacher & Experienced Childcare Professional
I'm thrilled to share that we've launched The Square Nursery School, a warm and vibrant early years setting on Holland Park Avenue, opening its doors in January 2025. At The Square, we’ve created a nurturing, joyful space where children are encouraged to explore, grow, and thrive through a rich EYFS-based curriculum, weekly Spanish and cookery sessions, and plenty of outdoor play in our beautiful garden.
Alongside working at our nursery, I will also be available for nannying during school holidays and half terms from Aug 2025 — offering professional, reliable care to families who value quality and creativity.
My journey in early years education began over 5 years ago at a Montessori-based nursery in the heart of Holland Park, where I embraced a child-led, respectful approach that celebrates independence and imagination. I’ve built a reputation for creating engaging, tailored experiences that support each child’s unique development, whether through messy play, cooking, storytelling, or arts and crafts.
I hold a Level 3 Diploma in Children’s Learning and Development (Early Years Educator) with Distinction, alongside up-to-date training in Paediatric First Aid, Anaphylaxis and Epipen use, and Safeguarding Children. Safety and emotional well-being are always at the heart of my practice.
Whether you're seeking a nurturing nursery place or exceptional care during the school holidays, I’d love to connect and support your family with energy, experience, and genuine care.

Christie is an incredible carer. We came to London knowing no one and needing care for our two children, 1 and 3. These ages can be a handful but Christie always had everything under control and the kids both happy and occupied. My children love her. She's excellent with coming up with things to do and is really really good with imaginary play (a favorite for my 3 years old). She's an excellent communicator and very respectful. I honestly can't say enough good things about her.

I had last minute work that came in, and Christie was available and gave my child the most beautiful experience. I have never seen them so happy when I collected them with someone they had just met. I highly recommend her and her gorgeous day nursery.
