My Summary

My Experience

Over the years, I have worked with children from ages 2 to adolescence across diverse family structures and circumstances - gaining practical expertise in managing diverse developmental needs and family structures. My approach is empathetic and evidence-based, guided by developmental psychology principles.

I have become an integral part of several families, even witnessing special moments like parents’ weddings. Whether it is fostering continuity in an atypical schedule or offering enriched developmental support, I aim to empower children to thrive and grow.

My experience spans:
• Private nanny roles managing rotating schedules, coordinating consistent routines, and resolving continuity challenges in multicultural households
• Seasonal nanny work in Ibiza, providing flexible, reliable support for families during holidays
• Three-month placement as a childcare worker in a German kindergarten, observing professional diagnostic methods for early learning difficulties
• Supporting children with autism and speech delays, gaining practical expertise in emotional regulation, tailored learning, and behavioural management

I am now seeking a family that values reliable, well-qualified childcare and appreciates the added benefits of my academic and multicultural background.

My Qualifications

• MSc in Health Psychology from King's College London (completed 2025) and BSc in Psychology (2:1 Honours) - bringing evidence-based, developmental knowledge to childcare

• Multilingual: German (native), English (native-level), Spanish (conversational)—enabling strong communication and cultural adaptability

• Over 10 years of childcare experience across London, Ibiza, and Germany, working with ages 3 to adolescence

• Diverse nanny experience including:
– Private nanny roles for multiple families with varying needs and schedules
– Multicultural households requiring coordinated discipline and routine management
– Seasonal nanny work in Ibiza providing short-term/holiday care
– Supporting children with autism, speech delays, and other neurodivergent needs

• Three-month placement as a Child-Care Worker in a German Kindergarten, observing professional diagnostic methods for early learning difficulties

• Authored neurodiversity-focused educational materials at King's College London, deepening knowledge of developmental and neurodiverse needs

• Pediatric First Aid certified + enhanced DBS check

• Trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Essentials

• Strong foundation with data protection and Good Clinical Practice (NIHR) through eLearning certifications

• Skilled in designing age-appropriate routines, maintaining consistency for atypical family structures, and employing creative approaches (arts, swimming, outdoor activities)

• Strong organizational skills with experience managing household schedules, meal preparation, and school runs

My Availability

I am currently seeking to expand from part-time to full-time childcare work (25-35 hours per week).
I have existing commitments on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday afternoons (approximately 4-6pm), but am highly flexible and available for:
• Morning schedules (before school, breakfast routines, school drop-offs)
• Full-day care on Wednesdays and Fridays
• After-school care on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays (after 6:30pm)
• Occasional weekend evening babysitting or overnight care for parents' date nights

My schedule is adaptable and I am happy to discuss arrangements that work for both families and my existing commitment.

My Fees

• Babysitting from £25.00 per hour

• £25/hour for one child
• £30/hour for two children (£35/hour if 3+ children)
• £35/hour for specialized duties (e.g. SEN support, unsociable hours, or extra services)

These rates reflect my qualifications, but I am happy to discuss individual circumstances to find a mutually agreeable arrangement.
