My Summary
About Me
Hi, I’m Vira. I’m originally from Ukraine and have lived in central Guildford for over three years. I’m 35 years old and have an 11-year-old son of my own, so I understand family life first-hand.
I am naturally open, warm, and positive, and I know how to support children emotionally while becoming someone they feel safe and comfortable with. I enjoy cooking with children, educational games, and outdoor time in the park and nature. I create a calm, safe, and supportive space for children, where they can feel comfortable, develop naturally, and enjoy their daily routines.
I am attentive to each child’s needs and character, and I value trust and open communication with parents. I am currently available and would be happy to support your family.
My Experience
I am a caring and attentive nanny with over 4 years of experience supporting families in different countries. I have personal experience raising my own son, over one year of childcare experience in Ukraine, and more than two years working with families in England. I also worked in Berlin through a childcare agency, where I cared for a two-year-old child in a home environment.
Over the past 3 years in the UK, I’ve worked with several local families, caring for children of different ages, and I genuinely love watching them grow and learn.
I can support with daily routines including walks, preparing meals, bedtime, and engaging children in creative and educational activities. I also enjoy cooking and can prepare simple, healthy meals suitable for different ages.
I also offer individual services. In addition, I offer home organisation support for families — helping to declutter and create simple systems in living spaces, children’s rooms, and kitchens. This often helps parents feel more at ease and frees up time for what truly matters.
I can provide references upon request.

My Qualifications
I hold a 12-hour Paediatric First Aid certificate (with practical training).
I am currently completing a Level 2 Food Safety and Hygiene for Early Years course.
I am currently studying psychology and have already received a certificate in working with people, which helps me better understand children’s behaviour and needs.

Right now, I’m available three days a week—Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday—if you need help and we get to know each other better.

Thank you so much for your care and attention to detail. I’m sure I’ll need your help again in the future. I’m really glad I found you and that everything worked out so well.

See you soon, Vera.

Thank you. I was happy to help you.
I would like to share my feedback about working with Vera. We have been in contact for over a year now, and from time to time I invite her to help me with my little one. I am truly happy that I met her.
Vera is very open, cheerful, and kind. It is easy and comfortable to communicate with her, even though her English is not perfect. She is very attentive, genuinely loves what she does, and always pays close attention to safety.
My child is always happy to spend time with her, playing, relaxing, enjoying outdoor activities, and engaging in interactive games at home. I feel calm and confident leaving my child with her when I need to go to work.
I am very grateful to have such a reliable and caring helper I can count on whenever I need support.

Vera helped our family babysitting regularly on a weekly base my 5 year’s old son including school pick up and drop off. She is extremely patient and very sweet. She was always willing to help with meals prep and after school routine.
Responsible and reliable, we had a great experience and we would contact her again in case of need.
