Iryna
Private Tutor in Sheffield (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
Hello! I am an elite live-in nanny-tutor and governess, and my background offers a very rare combination of skills.
I hold a Higher Pedagogical Degree and have 17 years of experience teaching in a specialized Art School. I don't just do basic drawing with children; I can teach them advanced arts, crafts, needlework, and introduce them to the history of European art, which I adore. Professionally, I also have experience within the British education system, having taught after-school financial literacy courses at a Primary School in Chesterfield.
On the practical side, I completed a 1-year university nursing course, so child safety and advanced first aid are second nature to me. I also have a full year of live-in experience with a private family in Poland, where I was in sole charge of children aged 5-10, managed school runs, and cooked healthy meals.
Personally, I bring the natural warmth and patience of a mother of two grown sons and a grandmother to two young grandchildren. I am an active local volunteer here in Sheffield—I volunteered during Eurovision. I am originally Ukrainian, deeply respect my culture, and speak Ukrainian and Russian fluently, though as a professional, I maintain a strict policy of never discussing politics in the household. I am also a huge animal lover with two cats of my own. Healthy lifestyle (non-smoker, non-drinker).
I have a clean British DBS on the Update Service, my active e-Visa share code is ready, and I am looking for a wonderful family in Sheffield for a long-term commitment.
My Experience
I have a full year of experience working as a live-in after-school nanny for a private family in Poland, caring for children aged 5 to 10. I was in sole charge of their afternoon and evening routines while the mother was at work. I managed the school run, organized active outdoor play and arts and crafts, and prepared fresh, healthy meals for the children.
Because I have already lived with a family for a year, I fully understand and respect live-in boundaries and household privacy.
An exceptional, university-educated Elite Live-in Governess and Nanny-Tutor with a rich background combining British school experience, international childcare, and a 17-year career as an Art School Teacher. I possesse a unique blend of qualifications: a Higher Pedagogical Degree, a one-year university nursing/medical training course for advanced safety, and proven experience running After-School Financial Literacy courses in a UK Primary School (Chesterfield).
An active community volunteer (Eurovision Sheffield), avid traveler, and pet lover who brings warmth, professional live-in boundaries, and an elite cultural and creative curriculum into the family home. Fully vetted with a clean British DBS check on the Update Service.
