Anna
Nanny in Dartford
My Summary
About Me
I am a warm, calm and experienced nanny based in Greenhithe and covering the Dartford and Gravesend areas, with over 20 years’ childcare experience and a particular focus on babies and young toddlers.
I especially enjoy caring for babies from around 6 months through to the young toddler stage, supporting daily routines, naps, feeding, weaning, play, crawling, first steps and gentle settling.
My approach is patient, nurturing and practical. I believe babies and young toddlers need consistency, kindness, safety and calm attention. I enjoy reading, singing, sensory play, walks, simple learning through play and helping children feel secure while their parents are away.
I understand how important communication is for parents of babies and young toddlers. I am happy to provide clear updates on naps, feeds, meals, mood, activities and any concerns, according to the family’s preference.
My Experience
I have been caring for children since I was 14, initially in my home country, and later through professional childcare roles both abroad and in the UK. Over the years, I have cared for babies, toddlers and young children in family homes, nursery settings and hospital environments.
I worked for five years in a maternity hospital as a midwife assistant, supporting newborn babies and mothers during the early stages after birth. This gave me strong practical experience with newborn care, feeding support, hygiene, settling and the importance of calm, attentive care.
I have also worked in nursery settings in my home country and in the UK, supporting children’s daily routines, play, early development, independence and confidence.
I completed a 260-hour childcare course with practical training, qualifying me as a nursery childcarer in my home country. This is equivalent to NVQ Level 3 childcare training.
I am confident with routines, feeding, weaning, naps, nappy care, early walking, play and gentle boundaries. I also have practical experience supporting potty training. In one recent role, I helped a child become confident using the potty within half a day by using a calm, consistent and encouraging approach.

Ania worked with our family as a childcare
provider for our three-year-old son and proved to be caring, patient, reliable, and highly attentive to our son’s development. She built a wonderful relationship with him and created a safe, positive, and engaging environment every day.
One of her biggest achievements was successfully helping our son with potty training.
Thanks to her consistency, encouragement, and gentle approach, he made excellent
progress and became much more confident and independent.
Ania also spent time supporting his early learning and development. She regularly worked with him on the alphabet, counting, and other age-appropriate educational activities through play and structured learning. We noticed a significant improvement in his communication,
confidence, and enthusiasm for learning during her time with us.
We were very happy with the care and support Ania provided, and we would confidently recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and dedicated childcare professional.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Anna’s care for our baby starting at 8 months old, and I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about her. From the very first day, she brought warmth, calmness, and joy into our home, and very quickly became not only our trusted caregiver but a deeply valued part of our family.
She has a natural gift with babies - gentle, patient, and incredibly intuitive. Our little one immediately felt comfortable and safe with her, which as a parent is the greatest relief. She took the time to learn our baby’s personality, routines, and needs, and responded to everything with kindness, attentiveness, and so much love. She was never just “watching” our child - she was actively engaging, teaching, singing, reading, and encouraging exploration in the most nurturing way possible.
Beyond the care itself, she was extremely reliable, punctual, communicative, and professional. She kept us updated with how the day went, meals, naps, funny moments, and challenges - all with honesty and clarity. We always felt informed and connected, even when we were away.
If you’re looking for someone who will treat your child with real love, attention, and care, who will show up every day with a smile and a heart full of patience - look no further. Anna is truly a rare gem, and any family would be lucky to have her.
