My Summary
About Me
Hello,
I’m Habibe Kotan. Since 2016, I have been working with children of different ages and needs, providing educational and care support, especially for children with special needs. As a patient, reliable, and creative caregiver, I ensure that children feel safe while also enjoying their time.
As an Ofsted-registered professional, I offer families trustworthy and legally compliant childcare services. My approach is always tailored to each child’s individual needs, with creativity at the heart of my work.
I have been living in London since December 2023 and continue providing my services through my LTD company. Turkish is my native language, and while I am not yet fully fluent in English, I am improving every day through my work with families.
Please note that I provide a minimum of 5 hours of service per day.
If you are looking for safe, caring, and dedicated support for your child, I would be delighted to meet you.
Best,
Habibe

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.
