My Summary
About Me
**FULL TIME AVAILABILITY FROM SEPTEMBER 2026**
Mother for 12 years. Nursery practitioner for 5. Nanny for 1 year. Native Spanish speaker, fluent in English.
Located in West Watford, available for surrounding areas. Public transport depending.
Love helping others, non judgemental. Passion for the growth of the future generation and for parents to feel safe whilst they provide for their families. Years in a nursery setting have given me the experience of how to bring psychology and understanding into the development of children. The time I have spent as a nanny has given me the chance to experience a more intimate way of helping a child develop whilst being part of the day to day life of the home.
I kind ask that if you made it this far and feel we could connect as people, to have a read through my reference from the last family I worked side to side with and read reviews left on here as I believe this gives a true and honest description of myself as a Nanny from the families I spent time with.

Gained Level 2 Early Years Qualifications whilst in a nursery setting.

I couldn’t recommend Paloma more highly! She has such a natural way with children, she is incredibly patient & attentive. Always finding ways to keep the little ones engaged while also teaching them valuable skills. It's clear how much care and effort she puts into making every day special for the children. My boys adore her! I have also learnt a lot from Paloma in regards to communicating and setting boundaries for my children.
As a parent, it’s such a relief knowing my child is in such capable and loving hands. Thank you for everything you do, you truly are amazing!

Thank you for you kind words! It is highly appreciated.
I would highly recommend Paloma and her services Ive used her quite frequently over the last 2 years to help with looking after my son who is 26 months. I have never had greeting worries or problems and feel constantly reassured when he is in her care, always greeting us with a smile very homely personality. My son gets very excited knowing she’s coming to our home which is a great sign from a mum‘s point of view he is always clean and tidy with a fully belly on my arrival home 🙂

Thank you for your kind review!
I was so stressed for a shift at last minute however, paloma made the adjustments in last minute and was rather early for the shift.
It was the first time I was meeting her, but after meeting her u feel u have known her for years. My daughter was so happy with her and did not cry once.
I am looking forward to call her again.
