About Me

Experienced Part-Time Nanny & Drama Educator | Kingston Morning Care & School Runs

Hi there! My name is Ho Yin (Cha), based in Kingston upon Thames. I am a warm, creative, and organised childcare practitioner who walks with Jesus every day, striving to bring kindness, patience, and positive energy into the family.
I speak four languages: native Cantonese, fluent English and Mandarin, and conversational French, which allows me to naturally expand children's vocabularies and cultural awareness. I love engaging kids with creative handcrafts, role play games, storytelling, playing educational games, and cooking healthy, delicious meals. I always prioritise the well-being, safety of the children and to provide a safe, structured, and nurturing environment where children feel loved and supported.

My Experience

My journey in childcare began early in my adolescence, taking care of my younger sister and brother while our parents worked late. I was responsible for their daily routine—preparing meals, bathing them, reading stories, and helping with homework. This hands-on upbringing instilled in me a strong sense of responsibility and deep empathy from a young age.
After graduating from art school with a degree in Theatre Arts, I spent over five years teaching drama, art, and handcrafts at local primary schools, community centres, and private classes. I specialize in using theatre games, painting, and storytelling to build children's confidence, emotional expression, and fine motor skills.
One of my most rewarding moment of my career was caring for a young girl at a drama summer camp who was struggling with her parents' divorce. By offering extra attention after class and guiding her to express her feelings through drawing, her behaviour transformed remarkably—she became less aggressive, happier, and eager to participate. On the last day of the camp, her mum told me she noticed her daughter's behavior was improved , before the young girl left the camp, she drew me a thank you card and gave me a hug, that moment i will always treasure.

My Qualifications

St Stephens’ Girl’s College HKCEE
The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Art, Bachelor First Honor Degree Major in Theatre

Below are the latest reviews for Ho Yin. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk members and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.

Ho Yin has been a lifesaver for our family and an incredible presence in my two daughters' lives.
She has looked after our daughters for one and a half year. She has helped us with school drop-offs and pick-ups, occasionally provided weekend care when we needed extra hands, and prepared healthy meals for the girls.
What makes Ho Yin truly special is her background in creative education. she keeps them genuinely engaged with simple arts & crafts, and drawing.
We would recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy, dedicated, and highly professional nanny.
