My Summary
About Me
I am a recent graduate from the University of Manchester with over four years of childcare and tutoring experience, and I am a fluent Spanish speaker. Through my experience in nannying, babysitting, tutoring, and teaching, I have learnt that the best way to care for children and young people is to fully engage in play and have fun! I believe clear boundaries are key to making a child comfortable and confident, and these can be set in clear, gentle, and empathetic ways.
My Experience
Full-time Nanny. January 2021 - July 2021. (Reference contact available upon request)
- Provided daily childcare for two girls aged 7 and 11, including school runs, homework help, and activity organisation (playdates, extracurriculars, sports, and music practice).
Made play a key part of each day with games that were energising, built confidence, and encouraged fairness between siblings.
- Supported healthy routines aligned with parents’ goals on screen time, behaviour, and family responsibilities.
- Prepared balanced and varied family meals, gently encouraging fussy eaters to try new foods (sometimes sneaking veg into sauces!) and getting kids involved in cooking in a fun and safe way.
Babysitting. September 2018 - August 2020. (Reference contact available upon request)
- Regular evening babysitting for local families with children aged 2-13 (often 2-3 siblings).
- Oversaw mealtimes, play, and bedtime routines suited to each age group.
- Helped children settle at night and assured those missing their parents.
Spanish Tutor (Online). September 2023 - Present (Reference contact available upon request)
- One-to-one GCSE Spanish tutoring lessons (with homework) tailored to each student’s learning style, ability, and exam board.
- Designed engaging and inclusive lessons for students with dyslexia and other SEN needs.

My Availability
I currently work as a school receptionist (9-5) Monday, Thursday, and Friday. I am fully available on Wednesdays. I volunteer at a local migrant charity on Tuesdays and am available after 4/5 (around after school time, I can be a bit flexible with what time I leave this volunteering). I am available for ad-hoc babysitting in weekday and weekend evenings.
