My Summary

My Experience

I am an experienced and dedicated nanny with over twenty years of hands-on childcare experience, providing high-quality, nurturing care to children from early years through primary age. I have worked in both full-time and part-time roles with private families across London, including sole-charge positions, and I am highly trusted for my reliability, discretion, and calm, consistent approach. I take pride in creating a safe, structured, and emotionally supportive environment where children feel secure, valued, and encouraged to thrive.

My experience includes managing all aspects of daily childcare, from school and nursery runs to meal preparation, hygiene routines, and bedtime care. I place strong emphasis on educational and developmental support, drawing on my background as a trained teacher to assist with reading, writing, mathematics, and homework. I enjoy planning stimulating, age-appropriate activities that promote creativity, problem-solving, and confidence, including arts and crafts, music, puzzles, and outdoor play, while also supporting children’s participation in extracurricular activities such as sports and swimming.

In addition to childcare, I am highly organised and adaptable within busy household settings, supporting family routines and maintaining a tidy, well-ordered home. I am fluent in English, Romanian, and Russian, which allows me to communicate effectively with both children and parents, and I bring additional value through my musical training as an advanced violinist. Above all, I am a warm, patient, and committed professional who builds strong, lasting relationships with families and approaches every role with genuine care and responsibility.
