My Summary
Experienced Childcare Support, Enhanced Dbs , Flexible & Short-Term Availability
About Me
Hi, I’m Maria! I’m 39 and live in Merton. I have an Enhanced DBS, a full clean driving licence and my own car, so I’m happy to travel.
I’m reliable, always on time, and genuinely enjoy working with children. I’d describe myself as caring, fun and approachable, while always respecting the routines and values that are important to each family. Creating a safe and happy environment for children is really important to me.
My Experience
I have experience caring for children of all ages, from babies through to teenagers, and I really enjoy supporting them as they grow and develop.
I started nannying with a family in Parsons Green, caring for three girls aged 5, 8 and 12. I had sole charge and supported everything from school drop-offs and pick-ups to meals, activities and playdates, as well as evenings and overnight stays when needed.
Since then, I’ve worked with families in Twickenham, Battersea and Morden, caring for children from around 6–8 months up to teenagers. This has included supporting routines, early development, after-school care, homework and activities. I’m confident caring for different ages and managing multiple children.
I also volunteer weekly with Brownies and Girlguiding in Wimbledon, helping run activities and support the girls in a fun and structured environment.
My most recent role was with a family of three boys aged 6–12, supporting after-school care and taking them to activities.
I’m confident with all aspects of childcare, including feeding, nappy changes, routines and encouraging learning through play. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks and always follow each family’s routines and preferences.
I’m warm, responsible and easy to get along with, and I aim to create a safe and relaxed environment where children feel comfortable and happy.
My Qualifications
I have an Enhanced DBS and experience working with children and young people. I completed an Access to Higher Education Diploma in Teacher Training before going on to study History at university, and later did a Master’s in Human Trafficking, Organised Crime and Migration.
I worked as a nanny for around 5 years while I was studying, caring for children of different ages. Since then, I’ve been working in the charity sector supporting vulnerable people, which has really strengthened my patience, communication and ability to stay calm in different situations.
My Availability
I’m currently available for flexible childcare during weekdays, including after-school hours and evenings. I’m looking for short-term or interim arrangements, as well as ad hoc support where needed. There is a possibility I can undertake more long term positions and happy to discuss this with you.
I can often be available at short notice, so please feel free to get in touch to discuss your requirements.
