My Summary
About Me
Hello! My name is Yuyao and you can also call me Alicia. I’m a warm, thoughtful, and well-educated childcare professional with a Master’s degree in Philosophy of Education from UCL.
I approach childcare with calm consistency, emotional awareness, and a deep respect for each child’s individuality. My style combines clear structure with gentle communication, helping children develop confidence, empathy, and healthy daily habits.
With a strong foundation in child development theory and cross-cultural values, I bring a balanced and mindful presence into the home. I believe in guiding rather than controlling, listening as well as teaching. Families have described me as attentive, mature beyond my years, and genuinely invested in the long-term well-being of the children I care for.
I am happy to work with children of different ages, and especially enjoy supporting school-aged children with their routines, learning, and character development. I am also fluent in Mandarin and enjoy using language, stories, and culture to connect across generations.
I’d be delighted to support your family with safe, positive, and engaging care.
My Experience
I have years of hands-on childcare experience across both formal and informal settings.
Professionally, I have worked as a nanny and private tutor in both China and the UK, primarily supporting school-aged children with their daily routines, homework, creative learning, and social-emotional development. My role has often included school pick-ups, meal preparation, planning educational or recreational activities that suit each child’s needs. I work well with parents and maintain open communication with them to help the children build self-confidence, independence, and good habits.
While most of my professional work has been with school-aged children, I truly enjoy working with toddlers and babies as well, and I’m confident in supporting their routines with warmth and attentiveness. I have gained valuable experience caring for younger children and toddlers through helping relatives and friends, particularly during school holidays and busy periods. This includes supporting feeding, nappy changes, bath time, outdoor play, etc.
I’m calm, observant, and always happy to adjust to the unique rhythm of each family.
