My Summary

My Experience

With 9 years of experience in childcare, I have had the privilege of caring for children of all ages, from newborns to school-aged children, in both private families and professional settings.
My journey has allowed me to develop a broad and versatile skill set, always guided by warmth, patience, and dedication.

I have gained valuable experience in a variety of environments, including:

• Private families: providing nurturing, structured, and engaging care for children of all ages

• Nurseries and preschools: supporting early childhood development, routines, and socialisation for the youngest children

• Leisure and after-school centres: organising fun, educational activities and supervising groups of children

• Holiday programmes and extra-curricular care: ensuring safety, creativity, and enjoyment during school breaks

I am also fully trained in paediatric first aid, allowing me to respond calmly and effectively in any emergency.

My skills include:

• Infant and toddler care: feeding, changing, sleep routines, and developmental support

• Bilingual tutoring (French/English): homework help, language development, and enrichment activities

• Creative and active play: arts, crafts, outdoor adventures, and educational games

• Healthy cooking & nutrition: preparing balanced meals tailored to children’s tastes

• Pet care and light household support: helping maintain a safe and organized environment

I bring a flexible, structured, and attentive approach to every role, ensuring children feel secure, supported, and happy. My commitment is to build strong, trusting relationships with both children and families, making each day enriching, enjoyable, and safe.

My ultimate goal is to truly support and relieve parents, so they can trust me to handle the daily care and organisation of their children, allowing them to focus on quality time and meaningful moments with their family.?

My Qualifications

• Paediatric First Aid Certification – trained to respond calmly and effectively in emergencies

• Infant Care Training – completed through a private nursery, focusing on the care and development of newborns

• Early Childhood Training – completed through a nursery programme, covering childcare best practices and child development

• Extensive References – I have received numerous recommendations from families I have worked with, reflecting my reliability, professionalism, and dedication to the children in my care

These qualifications, combined with my 9 years of hands-on experience, ensure that I am fully prepared to provide safe, nurturing, and high-quality care for children of all ages.

My Availability

I am currently based in Geneva, and I am planning a relocation to London from Summer 2026. I will be available to begin work from mid-August to early September 2026.

I like to plan ahead and be well-organized, which I believe is reassuring for families, especially when preparing for upcoming births or transitions. By starting the conversation early, I aim to ensure a smooth and confident arrangement for both parents and children.

I am also happy to arrange in-person meetings in London, as I regularly travel to the city, allowing families to get to know me and establish trust well in advance.

My Fees

• Babysitting from £40.00 per hour
• Nannying from £35.00 per hour (net)

My hourly rate begins at £35, reflecting my 9 years of hands-on experience, full bilingual proficiency in French and English, and the wide range of skills I bring to every role. Beyond caring for children, I provide comprehensive support to families, handling daily routines, organising schedules, preparing healthy meals, supervising play, and managing household-related tasks.

I see my job as an opportunity to relieve parents of the day-to-day pressures of childcare, allowing them to enjoy meaningful, quality time with their children with complete peace of mind. This rate reflects the premium level of care, reliability, and professionalism I bring to every family, as well as the numerous recommendations I have received from satisfied families.
