Maria
Nanny in Felixstowe (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
Hello, my name is Maria. I am 18 years old and currently studying at Norland College in Bath, where I am training to become a qualified Norland Nanny. I am passionate about supporting children as they grow and thrive, and I strive to provide nurturing, attentive care tailored to each child’s individual needs.
I have a strong foundation in childcare, with experience across a wide range of ages. I have volunteered in both primary and secondary school settings, as well as working in nurseries, where I developed a deep understanding of child development, routines, and emotional support. In addition, I have recently spent 9 months working as a live-in nanny in Bath, allowing me to become a trusted and consistent presence within a family home.
I achieved A/A/A* at A-level in Drama, Music, and Dance, and my background in performing arts allows me to bring a creative and energetic approach to childcare. I enjoy designing fun, educational, and stimulating activities—from music and storytelling to dance and arts and crafts—that support children’s cognitive and emotional development.
I bring a calm, mature, and nurturing approach to my work, alongside practical skills that support busy family life. I am a confident cook, happy to assist with household organisation and cleaning, and I hold a full UK driving licence. I also have a Paediatric First Aid qualification and an enhanced DBS check.
I am reliable, kind-hearted, and committed to building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents, and I take pride in creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment.

Full-time availability on weekends
Available for overnight care
Flexible and happy to support family needs during this period
I would love to support a family over the summer and bring a positive, caring, and dependable presence into your home.
My Experience
I have a strong foundation in childcare, with experience across a wide range of ages and settings. I have volunteered in both primary and secondary school environments, where I supported children and young people within structured educational settings and developed confidence in managing different needs and behaviours.
Alongside this, I have gained hands-on experience in early years education through working in nursery settings. This has given me a strong understanding of child development, daily routines, and the importance of providing consistent emotional support for younger children.
As part of my training at Norland College, I have also completed two extended placements: one within a preschool setting and another in a Year 3/4 classroom. These experiences have further strengthened my ability to adapt my approach across different age groups, support learning in both play-based and academic environments, and build positive relationships with children.
In addition, I have spent 9 months working as a live-in nanny in Bath, where I became a trusted and consistent presence within a family home. This role allowed me to develop strong skills in creating routines, supporting children’s wellbeing, and contributing to the smooth running of a busy household.
My Qualifications
I hold Paediatric First Aid and First Aid at Work qualifications, allowing me to respond confidently and effectively in emergency situations. I also have an enhanced DBS check.
I achieved A-levels in Drama, Music, and Dance (A/A/A*), and hold a full set of GCSEs.
My Availability
I am available from 27th June to 22nd August, during which time I will be based in Suffolk for the summer. Throughout this period, I am able to offer full-time support across weekends, including overnight care, allowing me to provide consistent and reliable help for families who require additional support at these times.
