My Summary

My Experience

I’ve been working in childcare since 2016, with experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I also studied children’s development and education in Germany, which provided me with a strong foundation in child psychology, learning through play, and age-appropriate care.
For the past 3.5 years, I’ve been with a wonderful family, caring for four children who are now 14, 12, 8, and 3.5 years old. During this time I’ve been treated like a family member, which allowed me to build a deep, trusting relationship with both the children and their parents. I’ve supported their daily routines, school and activity schedules, and created a nurturing environment where each child feels safe, engaged, and supported.
My responsibilities have included everything from diaper changes and learning new skills to school pick-ups, homework help, and meal prep. I’ve also traveled frequently with the family, providing consistent care during both short and extended trips. I have been speaking German to the youngest since she was born and now two out of four kids speak it and a another one is starting to learn it -all while the parents don’t speak any
languages other then English!
This role will be coming to an end in early July as the family’s needs change, and I’m now looking forward to becoming a valued part of a new family where I can bring the same level of care, experience, and dedication.

My Qualifications

I’ve been working in childcare for 9 years and through my studies in children’s development and education in Germany, I’ve gained a strong understanding of how to support kids in their growth emotionally, socially, and intellectually. I’m a native German speaker and also speak fluent English.
I’m highly organized and always strive to create a warm, respectful environment where children feel safe, seen, and encouraged. I’m especially drawn to Montessori principles and gentle parenting approaches, with clear but simple boundaries — mainly focused on safety and mutual respect.
While I don’t drive yet, I plan to begin learning toward the end of the year. In the meantime, I’m very comfortable using public transportation, and I’ve had no trouble getting to and from schools, activities, or appointments.

My Availability

I’m available to start in mid July and can work full-time from Monday to Friday during the day. I’m flexible with hours and open to both live-in and live-out arrangements. I’m also happy to help with occasional evening babysitting or weekend work when needed — I just kindly ask that any extra hours outside the regular contract and schedule be compensated accordingly. My goal is to provide dependable, adaptable support that fits your family’s needs.

My Fees

• Nannying from £16.00 per hour (gross)

My rates are based on experience and responsibilities. I’m happy to discuss a fair hourly or salaried rate that reflects the needs of your family. Extra hours outside of the agreed schedule, such as weekend work or extra babysitting in the evening (other then what we agreed on), would be charged additionally. I’m open to discussing details further and finding an arrangement that works well for both sides.
