About Me

As a mum of two children aged 16 and 27, I’ve gained a strong understanding of children’s needs at different stages of their development. I’m originally from Slovakia and have had the opportunity to travel and experience a variety of cultures, which has really broadened my perspective and helped me understand and respect the different needs of families. I speak Slovak, Arabic, and English, and also have a good understanding of German, which allows me to communicate easily with a wide range of families.

Based in the Roundwood Park area, I provide a safe, warm, and welcoming environment where children feel happy, secure, and valued. I truly believe in learning through play, encouraging curiosity, creativity, and confidence so that each child can grow and achieve their very best. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely passionate about supporting children as they develop new skills and enjoy their early years. I also take dietary requirements very seriously, always making sure each child’s individual needs are carefully respected and met.
