About Me
Caring and creative early childhood educator with over 15 years’ experience teaching and caring for children aged 1–10. I’ve worked as a teacher, tutor, and nanny in South Africa, Taiwan, and Thailand. Recently relocated to Aylesbury to join my husband, I am now transitioning from teaching to full-time nannying where I can offer hands-on care, learning support, and a nurturing environment. Passionate about children’s emotional development, creativity, and learning through play.
