My Summary
Nanny
About Me
My name is Rita, I am 27 years old and originally from Portugal. I moved to the UK in 2018 to study at university, where I completed a degree in Public Relations and Communications. Over the past five years, I have worked as a nanny and have discovered how much I genuinely enjoy working with children and being part of their everyday lives.
I am a caring, responsible and creative person who enjoys creating a fun, positive and nurturing environment for children. I particularly love organising creative activities, games and outings that keep children engaged and allow them to learn and explore. I am also confident preparing meals, helping with homework, managing routines and assisting with light household tasks.
Wellbeing is very important to me, and I believe that healthy habits can be encouraged from an early age in a positive and enjoyable way. I am mindful of balanced eating, staying active and creating healthy daily routines, while always respecting each child’s individual needs and the preferences and routines of their family.
Throughout my childcare experience, I have cared for children of different ages, including newborns, toddlers and school-aged children, and have worked with multiple children at a time. I understand the importance of being reliable, patient and adaptable, while also building a strong and trusting relationship with both children and their families.
I am available most days during the week and am also flexible to work weekends. I would love the opportunity to support another family and bring the same care, enthusiasm and commitment to their children.

Additional Childcare Experience
Alongside my most recent full-time nanny position, I have gained extensive experience working with multiple families and caring for children of different ages, including newborns, toddlers and school-aged children. My experience includes caring for 2–3 children at a time, providing regular school pick-ups and drop-offs, preparing meals, assisting with homework, organising age-appropriate activities and maintaining children’s routines until parents return from work. I have also cared for a baby from four months old, developing strong experience in newborn and infant care.
Previously, I worked as a Kids Club Leader at a resort, delivering full-day programmes of creative, educational and recreational activities, including arts and crafts, tie-dye, treasure hunts, games and movie nights, as well as supervising children during mealtimes. I also worked as a part-time nanny for a family of four children aged 2–10, supporting homework, after-school activities and bedtime routines. Additionally, I volunteered as a Teaching Assistant at a nursery, working with children aged 2–4 and assisting with planned activities, mealtimes and nap routines. I have also undertaken various babysitting and nannying positions, further developing my ability to adapt to different families, age groups and childcare needs.
