About Me

Hello! I'm Maria, a warm and dedicated nanny with over four years of experience in providing nurturing care to children of various ages. Originally from New Zealand, I'm excited to bring my passion for childcare to Glasgow, where my grandparents reside. As an only child raised by a father who adores working with children, I've developed a deep appreciation for guiding little ones as they explore and grow into their unique personalities. With a British passport and a commitment to fostering a safe and stimulating environment, I'm eager to become a trusted part of your family's journey.

My Experience

Bellingham Family, Temporary/Part-Time Nanny (2019 - 2022):
For the past three years, I've had the pleasure of caring for Kingston, a delightful 12-year-old boy. My responsibilities included picking him up from school, engaging in outdoor activities, assisting with homework, and preparing meals. Additionally, I gladly lent a hand with household tasks, ensuring a seamless and supportive environment for the entire family.

Coote Family, Babysitter (November 2020 - Present):
In this temporary role, I provided attentive care to a 3-year-old girl and a 4-year-old boy. From meal preparation to bedtime routines, I prioritized their comfort and safety. I also adapted to unexpected challenges, such as assisting the young girl during her recovery from a broken leg, demonstrating my ability to remain calm and responsive in any situation.

Lowe Family, Part-Time Nanny (Since September 2022):
For the past year and a half, I've had the pleasure of nannying for the Lowe family. Caring for their 4-year-old boy and 6-year-old girl, I've assisted with afterschool activities, supervised playtime, and provided homework help. My role extends to creating a nurturing environment where the children can thrive while maintaining a sense of structure and routine.

My Qualifications

Howick College, New Zealand (2016 - 2020): Graduated with a track record of merit endorsements across multiple levels.
University of Auckland, New Zealand (March 2021 - May 2021): Pursued studies in Psychology/Sociology.
Auckland University of Technology (AUT), New Zealand (Starting 2022) Ending in June: Enrolled in Marketing/Management.
Full Driver’s License with a clean record obtained in 2020.
Child First Aid Course completed on 6th December 2021.
