My Summary
About Me
A Little Life Update!
Hi everyone,
Looking after children isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and care deeply about. I love creating a safe and happy space where kids can feel free, secure, and truly at home.
Since moving to London, I’ve mostly worked with Turkish families. As a result, I’ve been speaking mainly Turkish, and I’ve noticed that my English could use a bit of refreshing. That’s why I’m now hoping to connect with English-speaking families who would be happy to support me as I continue to improve.
My current contracts will be ending at the end of July. So I’m now looking to meet new families who may need a reliable, kind, and caring nanny from that time onward. If you think we might be a good fit, I’d be so happy to hear from you!
Warmly,
Habibe

Dear all,
I’m Habibe Kotan. Since 2016, I have been providing personalized educational support to students of all ages and cognitive abilities, with a strong focus on children with special needs. My approach is centered on tailoring lessons to each student’s unique needs while incorporating artistic elements to create an engaging and enjoyable learning experience. By collaborating closely with both students and parents, I ensure that my lessons align with their preferences and goals.
Since December 2023, I have been based in London, continuing my educational services under my LTD company as a self-employed professional on a Turkish Business Visa. This transition has not only allowed me to expand my expertise internationally but also demonstrates my adaptability and entrepreneurial spirit. I am fully capable of invoicing my services through my LTD company, catering to both individual learners and institutions.
My commitment to personalized learning and creativity-driven education helps students unlock their full potential in a way that is both effective and enjoyable. If you are looking for professional support in special education, creative learning techniques, or individualized lesson plans, feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to assist!
Best regards,
Habibe Kotan

Habibe looked after our 1-years-old son for a while, and we were extremely happy with. She is both kind and patient, always ensuring that he was well cared for. She engaged him in fun and educational activities, kept a close eye on his meals, and nap schedule.
We fully trusted her and never had any concerns. We highly recommend her to anyone in need of a responsible and compassionate caregiver.
