About Me

I am a dedicated and highly qualified Childcare Professional with a strong academic background in Pedagogical Psychology (BA). With over 5 years of experience — including 2 years as a formal Nursery Educator and 1.5 years working with a high-net-worth family in Buckinghamshire — I bring a unique blend of professional education and practical expertise to my work.
My approach is rooted in understanding child development and psychology. I don’t just ‘babysit’; I focus on creating a nurturing, stimulating environment where children thrive emotionally and intellectually.
I specialise in early childhood development, supporting children through key milestones such as:
Emotional Regulation: Helping children navigate ‘big feelings’ and developmental leaps using my psychological background.
Educational Play: Crafting age-appropriate activities that promote cognitive and fine motor skills.
Routine & Independence: Gentle and effective potty training, sleep hygiene, and social skills development.
Bilingual Support: If you are looking for a Russian-speaking nanny, I provide full language immersion.
