My Summary
About Me
With experience caring for children aged 6 months to 16 years, I bring a broad and deeply rooted background as a nanny and educator. The longevity of my roles reflects my commitment and ability to build lasting, trusting relationships with families. Drawing on my background in art, an interest in psychology, and coaching experience, I take a holistic and child-centred approach to care, one that nurtures emotional wellbeing, independence, and a naturally curious mind.
I bring a culturally aware perspective shaped by a rich mix of personal and professional experiences, including time spent in proxy parenting roles. I’m highly organised, adaptable, and comfortable supporting children and families in a variety of home environments. Being bilingual (Italian, English) further strengthens my communication skills. I am passionate about creative expression, outdoor exploration, swimming, and providing calm, consistent support in both daily routines and learning. I take pride in fostering an environment where children feel safe, supported, and inspired to grow into their fullest selves.
My Experience
I bring over two decades of dedicated childcare experience to my career, encompassing diverse roles in schools, holiday play schemes, and the private sector as a nanny. My extensive journey in childcare has been marked by a deep commitment to enhancing the lives of children, including those with Special Educational Needs (SEN), particularly within the autistic spectrum.
My career has spanned various educational settings, including both primary and secondary schools, where I have excelled as a Teaching Assistant. Additionally, I had the privilege of teaching my own class in a college, further enriching my teaching skills and adaptability.
In the role of a nanny, I have provided exceptional care to children ranging from 6 months to 12 years old. My most recent nanny position, which spanned an impressive 9 years, is a testament to my reliability and dedication in fostering a nurturing and educational environment for children under my care.
Throughout my career, my passion for childcare and education has been a driving force, enabling me to positively impact the lives of numerous children and their families. My wealth of experience, coupled with my empathetic approach, uniquely positions me to continue making a meaningful difference in the lives of the children I serve.
