Nanny in London: Southwark (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
I am a professional Danish nanny with a Bachelor's degree in Social Education, bilingual and fluent in English, with over 20 years' experience working as a nanny in London.
I absolutely love what I do and am genuinely passionate about my job. I take great pride in being a nanny and feel incredibly lucky to work in a role that I find so rewarding.
I'm happy, confident, proactive, kind, positive and full of humour and banter. I'm a natural team player with a big heart, an empathetic nature and a loyal, honest and down-to-earth approach. I'm committed, respectful, curious about people and the world around me, and always open to learning and growing.
I believe strongly in good manners, kindness, strong values and leading by example. Above all, I want to see the children in my care thrive, grow in confidence and become the very best versions of themselves.
I'm calm, patient and have an excellent understanding of children's individual needs and development. I will always be their biggest cheerleader, supporter and advocate, encouraging them to believe in themselves and discover what they are capable of. At the same time, I believe children need clear boundaries, consistency and guidance. I am warm and nurturing but also firm when needed, and I place great importance on respect, kindness and treating others well. Rudeness and unkind behaviour are things I address with care and consistency.
I love becoming part of a family's team and believe that a strong relationship between nanny and parents is essential. Sharing the same values, morals and approach to raising children makes such a difference. I want to work in partnership with parents, creating a happy, secure and positive environment where children feel supported, understood and encouraged.
Outside of nannying, sport and keeping active have always been a huge part of my life. I've played football since I was four and still love it. I'm also a qualified personal trainer, and I genuinely believe that keeping fit and healthy is key to maintaining a positive mindset and overall wellbeing.
Music makes me happy – pure medicine for the soul! I play the guitar and am also a keen rollerblader. I've travelled around Asia with a backpack and loved every minute of experiencing different cultures, meeting new people and seeing the world from different perspectives.
I love colour, sunshine, fresh air, being creative, spending time with family and friends and, of course, the occasional beer!
I'm someone who takes initiative, enjoys inspiring others and is always hungry to learn. I love encouraging children to use their imagination, think outside the box, explore their interests and develop their own ideas.
I'm also a twin and come from a family of six children, with my twin and me being the eldest. Growing up in a big family taught me the importance of teamwork, looking out for one another, getting stuck in and, most importantly, appreciating the little things in life.
Kindness is something I feel particularly strongly about. I believe it is one of the most powerful qualities we can nurture in children. I want the little ones in my care to grow up understanding the importance of being kind, compassionate and empathetic, while also becoming confident, independent, self-aware, brave, determined, resilient, emotionally intelligent, active and happy individuals.
Ultimately, I want to help give children the confidence, values and life skills they need to navigate the world, embrace opportunities and become happy, well-rounded little people.
And, most importantly, I want them to enjoy being children, have fun, laugh lots and create wonderful memories along the way! :-)
My Experience
I have always been a long-term nanny. Every family I have worked with has remained an important part of my life, and I'm incredibly fortunate to still be in touch with all my previous families, some going back more than 20 years.
I feel genuinely privileged to have built such strong and lasting relationships. I adore the children I have cared for and feel so proud watching them grow into their own amazing little individuals. Many see me as a big sister, a role model and someone they can always turn to. It means the world to me to remain part of their lives and to feel that I have made a positive difference along their journey. Those bonds are incredibly special, and I never take them for granted.
Building a strong relationship with parents is equally important to me. I believe the best nanny-family relationships are built on trust, mutual respect, open communication and being on the same wavelength when it comes to the children's care and upbringing. It's about working together, sharing similar values, communicating positively and constructively, and knowing that we all have the children's best interests at heart. I want parents to feel completely confident that I will support their family, respect their parenting approach and provide the consistency, care and guidance their children need.
When I commit to a family, I give 10000%. I invest wholeheartedly in the children and the family as a whole. I take enormous pride in guiding, supporting and nurturing children, understanding their individual personalities and embracing their unique qualities, interests, skills and talents. I love discovering what makes each child tick and helping them build on their strengths, develop new skills and grow into confident individuals.
I bring a positive attitude and mindset to everything I do, and I believe this naturally reflects in my nannying. I'm confident, happy, determined, driven and ambitious, but equally humble, kind, emotionally intelligent and understanding. I lead with positivity, encourage curiosity and always try to bring energy, enthusiasm and a sense of fun into everyday life.
I'm naturally active and sporty myself, and I strongly believe in encouraging children to be active, explore the outdoors, try new things and develop a healthy relationship with movement and exercise. I love being creative, getting involved and making everyday activities fun and engaging. I'm kind, nurturing and encouraging, but also confident in setting boundaries and being firm when needed.
I believe children are like little sponges, constantly absorbing the world around them. The guidance, encouragement and experiences they receive from an early age play such an important role in shaping who they become. Giving children the right tools to develop confidence, independence, resilience, emotional intelligence and a positive outlook on life is, in my opinion, fundamental to helping them thrive.
Ultimately, I want to do more than simply care for children. I want to inspire them, champion them, challenge them, make them laugh, help them discover their potential and give them the confidence to take on the world. And I want to build relationships with families that last long after my working days with them have ended.
