My Summary
About Me
Hi, I’m Vanessa. I have a background in healthcare, having worked for several years as a healthcare assistant in psychiatric settings. This has given me strong skills in communication, emotional support, patience, and working in a calm and professional manner. I also have experience caring for children in a home setting, supporting with daily routines, play, and creating a safe and engaging environment. In addition, I hold a degree in Psychology, which helps me understand behaviour, emotional needs, and development — something I bring into my approach when caring for children. I am a native Portuguese speaker and speak both Portuguese and English fluently. I am a warm, reliable and attentive person who genuinely enjoys supporting others. I aim to create a calm, safe and positive environment, and I am confident working with different personalities and needs. I am available for both part-time and full-time childcare roles, including regular nannying and occasional babysitting.
My Experience
Provided regular childcare for a 7-9 year old child in a home setting on and off for 4 years. Responsibilities included supporting daily routines, supervising play and activities, ensuring a safe and structured environment, and assisting with general care needs. I focused on creating a calm, engaging and supportive atmosphere while adapting to the child’s individual personality and needs. I worked as a Healthcare Assistant within NHS psychiatric services, supporting individuals with complex emotional and behavioural needs. Responsibilities included providing emotional support, maintaining safety, effective communication, and working as part of a multidisciplinary team. Provided care for a cat in a home setting, including feeding, companionship, and general daily care responsibilities. Ensured the animal’s wellbeing and comfort during owner absence. This experience has strengthened my patience, resilience, and ability to remain calm in challenging situations.
