About Me

Currently working as a nanny/housekeeper in Hampstead london. Ready to start ASAP
Driver with own car.
I am excited to apply for the Live-In Nanny/Housekeeper position within your family. With many years of experience working with children of all ages, I bring not only practical expertise but also a deep, genuine passion for helping each child reach their fullest potential. I believe in providing care that nurtures every aspect of a child’s development — from their communication skills and emotional well-being to their confidence and independence.

One of my greatest joys in childcare is supporting the development of children’s speech and language. I take a hands-on, interactive approach, engaging children in conversations, storytelling, singing, and play-based learning to encourage them to express themselves confidently and clearly. I see each child as an individual, and I adapt my methods to suit their unique personality, learning style, and pace of development.

I am also a qualified swimming teacher, a skill I believe could be a wonderful asset to your family. Beyond teaching water safety and swimming techniques, I use my lessons to build resilience, patience, and a sense of achievement in children. Swimming not only promotes physical fitness but also teaches valuable life skills such as perseverance and self-confidence — all in a fun, active, and safe environment.

My childcare philosophy is rooted in gentle parenting. I believe in guiding children with empathy, respect, and understanding rather than through fear or coercion. I encourage healthy emotional expression, help children name and understand their feelings, and support them in developing problem-solving skills. Gentle parenting fosters a secure attachment, which in turn helps children grow into compassionate, confident, and emotionally resilient individuals. I see my role not just as a caregiver, but as a mentor and emotional anchor, creating a safe space where children feel seen, heard, and valued.

The Family I have worked with describe me as warm, approachable, and dependable. I pride myself on forming strong, trusting relationships not only with the children in my care but also with their parents, ensuring open communication and a shared vision for the child’s upbringing. My goal is always to integrate seamlessly into the household, providing stability, encouragement, and joy every day.

I would be delighted to bring my skills, passion, and caring nature into your home and become a positive influence in your children’s lives. Thank you for considering my application, and I look forward to the possibility of meeting with you to discuss how I can contribute to your family’s happiness and growth.
